6:05 pm
exacerbated by europe. honda seeing its output in japan is 60% below what it planned. vehicle production estimates globally through 2023 shot analysts, saying that the cut suggest a 15%-30% drop in auto suppliers for this year. and the chip crunch is seen weighing on fundamentals, about 6% this month. we do have ubs seeing it dropping to $1000 by the end of the year. losing more than 20% alone. not great, then, for australia's futures. newcastle coal has doubled.
6:06 pm
and switching on the board, uranium has had a very stellar run, indeed. the highest level since 2014. this is actually the wrong board. but uranium, over that submarine deal. >> let's get more on that when it comes to the bloomberg aspects. scott morrison is defending his government's decision to drop that deal for diesel-powered submarines in favor of a nuclear option developed with the u.s. and the u.k. he says they knew about the serious concerns about the french design. >> australia, like any sovereign nation, must always take decisions that are in our national interest and that is what we have done in this circumstance. we have made this clear for some time. this was an issue that had been raised by me directly some months ago.
6:07 pm
>> paul allen, the french theory continues, at least publicly. what is the latest? >> scott morrison said france shouldn't have been blindsided by this. they had previously raised deep concerns about diesel-powered submarines. this deal was also worth $65 billion u.s., it was already overbudget, already running late, and the strategic environment has changed as well. scott morrison said australia would have been negligent if it had not taken the advice into account. forex archive however, outraged as one would expect. it has also canceled a meeting that was planned for the u.k. defense minister. >> how much damage hasn't done with the relationship with france? could a trade deal with the e.u. yet risk? >> the french-european affairs
6:08 pm
secretary is certainly suggesting right now that the european union can proceed with a deal with australia afterward because a betrayal of trust. that deal has been progressing rather slowly as well. france hurrying to speed things up. you also have to bear in mind, president macron is facing an election. he needs to appear tough on this, domestically speaking. he also has a long history, of course, between france, the u.s., the u.k., and australia of these countries fighting in two world wars together. there's also a long history of disagreements, like the nuclear testing of the pacific and a number of other issues as well. >> of course, we do have the clock ticking here in the u.s.

6:10 pm
rates, stock prices falling. bond yields all over the place. ultimately, this wonderful economic recovery could even turn into a recession. so dire consequences. why isn't this going to happen like a slamdunk? well, for starters, let's remind everybody that the vote on the debt ceiling, $20 trillion, that is supposed to happen this week. remember the infrastructure bill the democrats wanted past? they can't even decide themselves what to do among moderates and progressives. at the same time, republicans are saying you are on your own. we are united in opposition to raising the debt ceiling. you are spending all the money, you go ahead and do that with your budget reconciliation if you want to. that is what the problem is right now. what is going to happen? goldman sachs does know that even if the debt ceiling doesn't
6:11 pm
get raised immediately, the treasury will have the money to pay u.s. bills until at least late october, early november. there is a little timeframe here that markets are getting nervous. >> voices also getting louder when it comes to the potential papering. -- tapering. what is the warning here? >> the warning is that this is going to be a big shift from record stimulus from the government, fiscal spending, already starting to taper down. the federal government has already been stopped. now, the u.s. is going to face one of its biggest missile cliffs in history, and u.s. expansion as a result has in slowing by the middle of next year for that whole second half, at the hamilton project in washington. they are saying that at some point by the second half, the economy may be moving sideways. he expects gdp growth in the
6:12 pm
u.s. to be down to 1.5% by the end of next year after growing nearly 6% this year. that is down the road. all of this swirling around has a lot to do with these things that the debt ceiling. a lot going on at once. >> a lot going on. a lot going on when it comes to geopolitical tensions as well. we are now hearing that boris johnson, the u.k. leader is set to tell jeff bezos that amazon must pay their fair share of tax. we have heard this from downing street ahead of the trip by boris johnson and other world leaders to the u.s. the prime minister has planned to press jeff bezos when they meet face-to-face in new york on monday. this is of course part of the trip we will be addressing the u.n. general assembly and joe biden at the white house. when it comes to amazon, of course, the situation has been
6:13 pm
facing consistent pressure on whether it phase -- pays its fair share of taxes. we are also hearing that boris johnson will be seeking to try to smooth over relations. we heard reports that defense talks have been canceled on account of this controversy over the u.s.-u.k.-australia defense agreement and the scrapping of those french nuclear purposes. this week could be a moment of truth when it comes to heavily indebted developers in china facing key votes on interest and payment deadlines. stephen, is this the drumbeat of increasing pressure on this group? contagion or no contagion? >> that seems to be the question. but with china on holiday today and tomorrow for the mid autumn festival and ahead of what will
6:14 pm
be the national week, the golden week with the national day holiday, not october 1, is going to be a lot of breaks, of, and fewer gauges to see whether there is, indeed, contagion. that is why a number of traders will be looking offshore today. it did week and thursday and friday about 7/10 of 1% dedicate pass through that moving average. that is one way to see how difficult the contagion level may or may not be. of course, there is this bank loan interest due today. however, the housing authority and other regulators in china have already informed the big state they don't expect that interest payment today. but thursday, there's a couple of bond payments due as well, $84 million for font interest due on thursday. that is an offshore dollar bond,
6:15 pm
but there is also an onshore bond worth 232 million. that coupon is do the same day. there is a 30 day grace period that would basically indicate it won't be a default until 30 days later, still, this is a crunch week obviously. >> so given that default may be looming, what steps are they taking in order to levy this liquidity crunch? >> we obviously know that the ever grant as well as the local officials have hired their own financial advisors. they are working, perhaps, on what would be china's largest debt restructuring plan. they have 300 billion dollars plus in liabilities. in lieu of that, they are trying to appease the hundreds, if you will, people who have protested outside the headquarters.
6:16 pm
they want overdue payments on the wealth management products, some 70,000 people have bought these products. employees, as well. what we have heard is over the weekend, the fire sale, if you will, on the property, they are trying to convince these investment product holders to take discounted properties. so they don't have the cash right now. so it seems as though some are taking them up on that offer. >> let's now get over to vonnie quinn with the first word headlines. >> china's top regulator has defended their multi secular market tracked down to wall street executives. saying stricter rules were not aimed at tech or private companies. bloomberg's sources say the vice chairman for business leaders
6:17 pm
recent events and actions were not intended to reduce social anxiety in consumer heisting ---facing industries. they say they must ensure transparency and consistency to both companies. president biden's chief medical advisor says booster shots for more of the u.s. population remain a possibility soon. an advisory panel to the u.s. fda recently rejected a national booster rollout for all ages, however, fauci says the guidance could change as additional to statistics come in. the u.s. is expected to review data from a modern and j&j in the coming weeks. canadians vote monday in an election that is too close to call. if victory for prime minister justin trudeau liberals could be a follow-through on a promise to increase taxes on think banks and insurance companies. and, more stricter emissions rules on oil and gas companies. a win for conservative leader could bring a relief rally in canadian financial and energy stocks.

6:21 pm
>> the economy remains fragile. >> key risks for the price outlook are tilted toward the downside going ahead. >> it's time now for the week ahead. we have a jampacked calendar. we will get at least 15 central banks deciding in just the next few days. the fan will take center stage with its decision on wednesday. officials are expected to hint at when they will start tapering asset purchases before a formal announcement in november. that is with jerome powell in a tough spot, how to communicate the move without spooking market or sparking speculation of a hike to also have new clean and fresh spot where some of his
6:22 pm
hawkish colleagues are already projecting a lift in a 2022. >> the fed is in a really, really difficult position right now. >> a tapering decision. >> it is going to be hard to do so if economic data fails to show up. >> the fed is going to make up stories to fit their story. >> whatever the fed does or is looking to do could be dead wrong. >> the fed has already looked at a draft that they intend to taper before the end of the year. >> the fed is talking tough or whatever. >> they have been so consistent of ovaries -- always offering a dovish tilt to these meetings. >> lots more on the monetary front. the central bank wanted investors, a rate hike may be in store for bank of england. write down the middle whether there criteria has been met.

6:24 pm
of course, we will know more tapering from the fed. he is saying to remain focused on rebalancing long-term assets. tony, great to have you with us. in terms of what jay powell has to do in this sort of high wire act, the balancing act, if you will, what does he need to say that would change your approach when it comes to these offers? >> for us, it is really going to be tied to when the tapering and how quickly it comes. we don't think the fed is going to be able to really telegraph that too much. that's why we've been telling clients to take advantage of rebalancing back to target, whether it is within equities, large or small ap, international, just because of the uncertainty. we certainly have inflation building in the system, wages are rising.
6:25 pm
changes in the supply chain firmly driving prices. with so many central banks having to make decisions, we think it is a bit jittery. we are not saying all is clear, come back out, but we tried to be strategic. this is a time where we think investors would be well-suited to make sure that they are rebalancing and considering their particular financial positions. >> when you take a look at the reality that is how the world is dealing with delta variant and any new variants, does that make the reopening trade a compelling reentry point to some investors? >> it's interesting. the delta variant, beyond my responsibility from the knights of columbus, i centered a board for a privately -- privately held company in the travel and leisure space. things were going swimmingly until delta showed up. we have been talking about
6:26 pm
stocks like american airlines, delta, reopening. but until we get enough comfort, i think we need the economy, the market as a whole, it is hard to see these trends growing dramatically. we just felt like it was overdone with some of the airlines and some of the travel stocks. that was certainly not a tactical trade as much as a strategic one so stocks priced down quite a bit. >> we continue to hear the long bells ringing on the debt ceiling. we continue to see political posturing. is this something that needs to be priced in, or do you just overlook it and move on with long-term views? >> i think it is ovaries seyfert rattling from the party that is in power. america always pays its bills.
6:27 pm
but not only do you have the debt ceiling question, right now, you have this massive next stimulus. the democrats would like to see the 3.5 trillion dollars stimulus, the republicans are saying it is far too large. people want to see some of the stimulus come off. there's a lot of things in play. i think we are going to get over the stimulus hurdle. there is nothing we believe is going to stop that from recurring, but we think that is part of the dance around the next stimulus package that is being negotiated heavily at the moment. >> we have seen some of those sectors dancing higher when it comes to that stimulus plan. there's the energy sector, the clean energy sector or infrastructure. are those some of the best that interest you, or have they already been run up too much? >> some have been run up too much. our energy situation in the u.s. was largely a political situation. they factor canceling the pipeline, slowing the ability of the shale in the u.s., and then
6:28 pm
suddenly -- suddenly you have energy increase. again, we think some of those green energy plays have run up quickly. the grid has got to catch up before all those green energy things can really take root. >> knights of columbus acid advisors president and cio. this is bloomberg.
6:29 pm

6:32 pm
addresses the general assembly, where the pandemic will also be a major topic. and the goal that the administration plans to propose is to basically get global vaccination up to 70% over the span of the next 12 months. now, as you said, of course, the conflict, potential conflict, is that at the same time as the u.s. ministration has been pushing quite hard for rolling out booster shots broadly in the united states. how do you square that with why don't you also help the rest of the world? that is something that biden has plans to sort of tease out in the days ahead. >> of course, lots on the agenda with lots of different priorities.
6:33 pm
climate, the vaccine rollout, taxation. where do you view the priorities? >> well, if you are talking about the biden administration, they certainly have a range of issues, and are also asserted that an intersection of international and domestic. yes, taxes, for example, are going to be coming up again in the weeks ahead as congress works on this big social spending and tax program that biden is behind. at the same time, of course, we still have the pandemic which, frankly, has not been going that well in the last few months. after the president said in july that it seemed like the country
6:34 pm
was sort of on the cusp toward finally moving beyond the pandemic. so there is a lot on his plate. >> what are we expecting on the climate front? >> on climate, it is really the same issues as have been looming over the global effort. we need to somehow get china on board. prime minister boris johnson of the u.k., who just arrived within the last hour for the general assembly starting tomorrow, he has a big summit in glasgow that is coming up next month in october where, of course, he is in the spotlight for trying to spark progress on the global u.n.-sponsored climate talks.

6:36 pm
dominating the u.n. summit. we spoke with the u.n. secretary general ahead of that meeting. >> it is clear that we need to be at conditions i suggested today. with coalitions of countries that have the finest technology and the capacity, the countries to make true that we have a quick transition. with the present pattern of the energy transition in the world, we will not get there. this wakeup call is, i think, essential to make sure that countries are able to present new commitments, to engage in a positive way it international corporations, and if you want to rescue the planet. >> youth and warning us of a catastrophe in afghanistan. do you think the international
6:37 pm
committee and largest writing the right balance, or do you think they need to increase more assets to help the people of afghanistan? >> economic collapse requires, and of course, independently, we have regime that exists today, sanctions or others that they may be complicated. it requires that quickly the international community finds some mechanisms to inject cash to allow for the afghan economy not to collapse. if the afghan economy collapses, it is a big disaster for the afghan people and for those relying on the region. we would need waivers and some of the sanctions we have established. workers for traveling, for contacts, a number of other practical things. we need mechanisms allow them to inject cash to the economy. >> onto another topic that will
6:38 pm
be very significant for you, i believe, booster shots and donations of the covid-19 vaccine shot. wealthy nations are considering getting booster shots to the population while much of the world remains unvaccinated. are you worried that the booster shot can potentially come at the expense of the unvaccinated? >> we must go further. the problem we have today is that a country like mine has 80% of the population vaccinated. we have not much vaccine resistance. we have a number of countries with less than 2% of people vaccinated. what we need is a global vaccination plan. and to have a plan, we need to have a meeting. those that have power are the countries that produce vaccines. or can produce vaccines, if they have licenses and technical support for that. to bring them together.
