haidi: hello and welcome to "daybreak asia." sophie: we are counting down to asia's major market opens. shery: our top stories this hour -- asian traders way a week and to the u.s. trade session. the dollar hitting a 12-month high as investors look for havens. china evergrande may have missed

another bond payment, but marathon assets tells us it is still buying debt. plus, he won over the party. now japan's next prime minister must convince the electorate. the previous month, numbers were revised slightly down to a gain of 7.7%. when it comes to the month on month number, it is a contraction of .7%, so perhaps we are seeing a little bit of easing and fading of those gains in factory output when it comes to those monthly trends. the expectation was still for a gain, and the previous month was revised downwards. we are seeing positive sentiment on industrial production.

not to mention, domestic demand has also been strong, but we do have those delta-related disruptions in trading partners that could have caused some of that missed. overall, a year in your missed -- year on year miss. >> this x foreign minister, exit banker securing this job of premier potentially as we go into that vote. even though he's likely to have that recovery momentum it behind him, he has to convince japanese voters that he is the right man for the job. even though his public appeal has improved somewhat during the course of the campaign. shery: he will be the face of

the general election this year, not to mention the upper house next year. the key question has also been -- what will the new prime minister due to the economy, especially when it comes to monetary policy? will he have a firmer hand? of course, we have not seen that much of a change when it comes to monetary policy. he was speaking at a virtual panel when he talked about what is happening in china as well, saying they are not detecting sort of speculative and in -- that they have seen before. he also played down the risk of a crisis from evergrande. >> we remain on evergrande repayment watch, i guess.

pretty much all we know as a result them saying it does look like the situation is worsening, and of course, we continue to watch these private placement debt obligations as well. shery: $260 million, a big number, and the risks are huge. sophie: chinese policymakers attempt to contain evergrande. over the holiday we can come of offshore you one could reach 650 -- over the holiday weekend, offshore yuan.

flipping the board for a look at how we are shaping up, tokyo began trade with low reaction. you have markets looking not very enthusiastic about the fact that we have david co. likely in the japanese administration. the economic picture looking to recover, but we could see downward pressure on the dollar given global pressures on the global central bank. shery: 4 of the world's leading central bankers remain optimistic that severe supply constraints -- how does this

square with actual inflation numbers? kathleen: inflation is high and staying there. the longer it stays there, the harder it is to say it is temporary. let's start with what jay powell said, head of the federal reserve. he noted that it is not really a failure of our economic models on this. we just did not see these big supply-side constraints coming. it is frustrating, but inflation is going to ease. let's look at the turquoise line. if you move on to christine lagarde, that would be the white line. she, along with andrew bailey, their inflation rates have gone from around the target of 2%, they are both at 3% or a little

bit above. lagarde saying those bottlenecks are accelerating in some areas, and we are monitoring how fast it is going to fade. andrew bailey i think a little more circumspect, saying they are watching inflation expectations. they are watching at the bank of england the second round inflation effect of these shortages. they are going to see how that feeds through. however, japan with that yellow-line inflation still negative, he said demand is surging so fast, supply cannot follow, but is probably hosting it will actually help boost inflation. one more thing we have to throw in what he said when talking about china's potential bubble or the bubble in real estate, very different, the speculative buying by real estate investors and homeowners, drove up japan prices. he does not see this as

widespread in china. he does not think it will have the same kind of severe impact on the chinese economy that it did on japan back then. shery: this as investors continue to strive -- to struggle for analogies of historic examples. manufacturing activity has been hampered by widespread power shortages that intensified over the last week. let's get a preview from our chief asia correspondent. we heard from chair powell saying these supply-side snags were unanticipated, but china, how bad could it potentially get? what are we expecting? >> i think the electricity crunch does look like a game changer. economists are talking about official pmi slipping into contractionary territory. these power outages are affecting geographically, the

most impacted, currently about 25% of gdp. the other thing to bear in mind is that online lockdowns have really hit the consumer side of the story. these car outages will be hitting the production side of china's economy, and that has been a big pillar of support since the pandemic began. all indications are now that these power shortages will have a material hit to growth. i think it is looking like something of a game changer for the profile for china's recovery. shery: we are seeing new signs that offshore holders of evergrande, the bonds are not getting their interest payments on time. several bondholders say they have not and paid.

in the range of priorities, where do offshore holders fit in? stephen: i think it is becoming pretty clear pretty low on the totem pole. just by the recent track record on the coupons that were due last week, 83.5 million u.s. dollars, and by all accounts, those coupons were not paid. then yesterday, wednesday, here in asia, there was another $45 million coupon do. at least for bondholders that bloomberg news has spoken to on condition of anonymity say as of last night, they have not been paid. we are getting a lot of different signals on the contagion and what are the priorities for evergrande -- evergrande. the boj governor saying he thinks that situation is likely contained and is not a replication of japan in the late 1980's and early 1990's.

we are also getting bruce richards saying he is buying more -- or for the first time, i should say, this week evergrande debt. he did admit that home buyers, suppliers, and onshore bondholders will be paid before offshore investors. we do know that the housing authority in china has stepped up supervision of their bank accounts to ensure that homes are completed first. the priorities are the investors, not necessarily the creditors. haidi: we have learned that government authorities are stepping in to buy evergrande's stake in banks. this is pretty much indirect or even you could say direct government intervention to try to help.

>> it is indicating that the government is taking, you know, some sort of intervention. not outright intervention to save this company, but taking steps to basically achieve the goal that it wants to achieve, and that is social stability, making sure that those investors are paid off. yes, foreign bondholders argue might be a lower priority, but this stake that evergrande is selling in a bank in the northeast -- the stake has been bought by the government, i assume at the order of the central government, netting about one point 55 billion u.s. dollars. that could be used pay off those coupons, but the bank is demanding that all proceeds go to self -- settle debt with the lenders. that is a long answer to your question. essentially no, it will not be used to pay off those bond coupons.

shery: let's get to vonnie quinn with first word headlines. vonnie: the former japanese foreign minister will be formally elected as the country's prime minister on monday. he took the most votes on wednesday. after winning over his party, he must now ace voters in a general election. he is promising to introduce major stimulus by year end and is receiving support for raising public sector wages. the u.s. house has passed standalone legislation to defend the federal debt limit. the measure passed on a mostly partyline vote. meanwhile, house speaker nancy pelosi must decide if she will hold a vote on the infrastructure bill. the u.s. fda may authorize

half-dose boosters of moderna's vaccine. this would -- the timing of the announcement is unclear, but it would come as the u.s. recovery from the latest coronavirus wave is taking hold. cases are dropping or poised to start dropping in the vast majority of states. new zealand will offer a one-off residency to as many -- resident visa to as many as 165,000 migrants. officials say the majority of requests will be granted within a year of the category reopening in december. i'm vonnie quinn. this is bloomberg. shery: still ahead, international finance corporation invest in a bond for the first time.

up next, variances not worried about stagflation. chief economist christopher -- chief economist christopher smart joins shortly. this is bloomberg. ♪

>> this inflationary spike will not lead to a new regime of ongoing higher inflation. the current spike is really a consequence of supply constraints meeting very strong demand. >> we certainly have no reason to believe that this -- these price increases we are seeing now will not be largely transitory. >> the underlying inflation is not so weak as the headlining figures. >> we understand the effective

rates in the transmission mechanism. shery: top central bankers downplaying the inflation threat. our next guest also agreed that high prices will be transitory. let's bring in christopher smart, chief global strategist at airings. >> who am i to disagree with for central bank governors? i think the message we actually see in the numbers, at least in the u.s. but also in europe is that the year run your numbers continually -- continue to be high, but the month by month numbers continue accelerating. the diagnosis is some bottlenecks, some areas that do

not match up, but that's why we don't think the inflationary numbers we are seeing now are going to persist into next year. haidi: --shery: the other side of the equation's concerns about growth, which is why we continue to hear this concerns about start ration. where will the next level of growth come from? >> i think the growth has clearly hit an air pocket here with concerns about covid, with the drama going on in washington right now, the chinese property sector that has sent tremors through the global markets over the past couple of weeks. having said that, though, the general trajectory of the global economy remains very much what it was earlier this year, which is one of recovery, very strong demand from households, corporations that have strong balance sheets and are ready to invest in new capital expenditure, and the two of those combined with a continuing

rollout of vaccines we think leads to a next leg up over the next 12 to 18 months. haidi: is a global worsening energy crisis a game changer, though? >> if you are talking about what we see in china, i think that is something to watch closely. the government in china has all the resources it needs to handle we think financial disruption from the property sector volatility that we have seen and the evergrande woes, but it's hard in the short term at least to intervene to make the power come back in sufficient quantities. i think is your report earlier in the program highlighted, it is particularly hitting the industrial sector. i'm not sure it leads us to completely revise our views on china, which is that the economy is slowing down but at a moderate pace, and if you can

pick your companies correctly, and i think in china in particular, you need a sharp pencil and a green eye shade to look at those more closely, but i think generally, the chinese outlook remains good, but as you said, the energy sector remains something we are watching as best we can. haidi: as we are also watching the property sector, of course, and as you point out, the lion share of those a debt are within the sector. we may not see a systemic widening of the crisis, but does that also mean there's not much you can say about the deleveraging and the structural reform agenda of beijing if they were to have to take out the toolbox to contain this? >> i think the five-year plan, the government's plans to invest

in the economy remains very much intact. it's efforts to rebound from industrial investments more toward consumer activity and domestic demand remain very much intact. i think the government is -- you know, as every government does when there is a financial crisis, it is to some extent improvising. it is proceeding carefully, and as you pointed out, there is a political dimension to this. it needs to make sure that the domestic savers who have invested, put down payments down on apartments get paid first or make sure their apartments are built, that suppliers get paid their bills, and more likely than not, it will be the domestic owners of the debt who get priority over the foreigners. we will have to see, and that is something that remains to be seen as this plays out. this is the first big restructuring i think we have really seen in the property sector, so i think it will be very informative for foreign investors as they look to what kind of reforms they're all when all is said and done.

>> though i sense a tone of cautious optimism when it comes to not only how china's evergrande situation will unfold but also concerns about stagflation? are you as bullish when it comes to the market outlook then? >> markets have had a great run except for the last week or so. but the evaluations are something you have to keep closely in mind. having said that, the macroeconomic backdrop that we have seen over the last year's not going to be repeated next year, but i think the tailwinds are still much greater than any potential headwinds. we are watching these risks. if it's china, as i said, washington, or some of the other potential new headlines we will get related to covid and other variant outbreaks, but i think the general direction over the next year, year and a half, has to be one of government support, fiscal spending, central-bank support, even if it is tapering a little bit, accommodative

liquidity, and strong balance sheets. that's what gives me generally an optimistic tone, even though we are watching closely for these risks. haidi: always great to have you and lovely to end on an optimistic tone. you can get a roundup of the stories you need to know to get your day going with today's edition of daybreak. you can always tweak settings so you can just get news on the industries and asset that matter to you. ♪his is bloomberg.

kickback against this kind of policy. but in terms of spending, he -- as we saw in the club just now, he wants a package size in the tens of trillions of yen before the end of the year, which will likely be announced in some detail or other before the election. that could be another incentive for people to want to vote for him. >> isabel reynolds in tokyo. let's talk about the impact kishida we'll have on markets. joining us is the bloomberg tokyo sucks reported. we've seen the world beating rally. can it continue? what does this new leadership need to do for that next catalyst hire? reporter: the market is closely watching for any details on what the stimulus package could be. it will likely be in the tens of trillions of yen. whether it can beat market

because of their priorities, the cost of capital is significantly better in a direct listing, because you're allowing the overall market to participate. and that is democratization of access to that initial listing. it is an important driver for many companies, who want all investors to have a level playing field, as they hit the public market. >> hear your point about direct listings. your somewhat immune from volatility within the markets to some capacity. if yields are rising and assets repricing for that, do you think that materially impacts the space? >> i think not so much for direct listings. there are drivers for why there are so many companies looking to go public. if you rewind back to the spring of 2020, nobody would've expected that we would be in such a busy ipo calendar. it was very expensive during that time, to raise money in the private market.

the public markets were providing access to capital to companies who needed it urgently, desperately, and really efficiently. the public markets were really on display. now we have seen a lot of companies recognizing the value of the public markets. interest rates are playing a role in that as well. companies are looking to be public because they are not quite sure. we are coming off a 10-11 year bull run market. conditions might not be within their control over a period of time and they are looking to tap into that capital to expand and grow their businesses despite conditions. >> stacy cunningham, nyse president speaking earlier with bloomberg. china's pmi is due for the month of september. we will be speaking to morgan stanley's robert s. about the pressures on china's economy. coming up next, discussing the outlook for japan, as

an investment in the real estate market does not appear to be the case -- the chinese case. >> the governor, downgrading the risks of a property crisis in china. as her are seeing opportunities in this tumbling evergrande bond assets. the ceo, bruce richards, says he will continue to invest. >> the big picture is, it is a problem for china, for the market, for the banks and the whole segment that it relies on. there's a lot of jobs related to this and a lot of commerce related to this pivot a lot of industry related to evergrande.

that is a problem. for all the folks thinking about evergrande and the logic of how 20 play out, number one, the first obligation when this gets restructured, when that day comes, there will be some coupons maybe to get paid an interim, but when it happens and we don't know when it happens, the first orders, they are going to make sure the homeowner that bought those homes take delivery and they are made whole. second is the trade. the folks that did the work and supplied the goods and services, and appliances, the bathtubs are going to get paid, because they are owed a lot of money. third, and this is very interesting, are there domestic -- the domestic creditors going to paid first? at the end of the order are going to be the offshore bondholders. . that trade in new york loss out of china -- law outside of

china. a lot of that debt was domiciled debt and blood. we are buying evergrande debt and we will continue to buy it at these very low prices. the whole question is, is the price of acquisition relative to what you think recovery value is? we don't know what it is, but we are getting close to the point where we think it now makes sense for the first time. we've never about the credit until just this week. >> $.25, i'm hearing $.35. >> [laughter] >> ok, so you would be -- [overlapping voices] >> not $.30. >> i'm curious how -- the capital structure looks like it's completely reversed. it would be completely the other way around. >> yes. >> basically what you're saying is a dollar holders are going to be last in line and the recovery rates are going to be

significantly lower than you would normally expect. >> completely unknown what happens in china, what happens in hong kong. this is hong kong-based. it is completely -- it is an unknown variable and what we have to watch first. >> are there other opportunities that evergrande is also creating? >> the monetized 1.5 5 billion dollars. there are going to be other assets sold -- sold, that includes assets be on the property. >> any other developers in china that you think are going to end up in the same position, that you are buying credit elsewhere? >> we think you would for the domino to actually fall and you see how bad it gets for others that are not quite the problem that evergrande is today. we wouldn't want to be early.

there, i would want proof of concept. this is case -- this case study to play out before we invest more. >> that is marathon asset management ceo bruce richards. this bring our china credit editor. despite all this uncertainty, we are seeing firms like marathon actually buying up evergrande's debt. where the risks here? -- what are the risks here? >> it is interesting to see interest from hedge funds looking at evergrande debt. ultimately the recovery will be higher than the 20 cent range we are seeing at the moment. the risk is sort of to full. firstly, there's going to be jostling between the on shore bondholders and the offshore bondholders.

as marathon's ceo mentioned. potentially a restructuring could play to their favorite. on shore bondholders have proximity to the situation. that's a significant advantage in this case. the other risk here is the debts that might not be widely known. a $120 million bond. risks were not widely known the market. there's a potential for other deals of the sword that may not have been listed. may not be widely or publicly known. they do pop out of the woodwork. >> what is not even easily known as whether they have or have not missed coupon payments. we think they missed them yesterday. according to a couple of their holders who told us late last night they still hadn't received the interest payment. what does that potentially mean

for the credit rating? >> the credit rating yesterday said it all. there was likely a missed payment and they were not able to confirm. that is the increasing assumption for many analysts. that we are seeing missed coupon payments. we don't have [indiscernible] that was due last week. bondholders that receive payment for the $45 million coupon payment that was due yesterday. i think it is pretty likely that we start to see perhaps moody's and s&p also move to lower the credit rating. to do that to the lowest rating possible. >> any sense of the authorities starting to move -- sign of the authorities starting to move? >> the pboc, urging banks to maintain a healthy property market. of course we've seen nine straight days of injections. liquidity from the pboc, to help ease things up.

shery: president biden is scrambling to break a deadlock among democrats on the size and scope of a tax and spending bill worth as much as $3.5 trillion. that comes with congress at an impasse over the debt ceiling. let's get more with our congressional government reporter, emily wilkins. it's a pivotal week in washington. what are we expecting? >> we are still expecting a vote on that bipartisan infrastructure bill that passed the senate back all the way in august. there's a big threat on whether there is actually going to -- they are going to be able to have the votes to pass it. the democrats are still saying they have several dozen members who are not going to be voting for the infrastructure plan because they haven't yet seen what's decided on the reconciliation bill about the large social spending package. all these things progressives really want.

there's lots of questions in d.c. whether or not pelosi will delay that vote on the structure bill or whether they might allow the infrastructure bill to come to the floor and failed. which would be an embarrassment for the democrats. but wouldn't necessarily mean that work on the infrastructure and social spending package stops. haidi: there have been special measures in place for borrowing. what are we hearing is the latest modeling or production as to when that is going to run out? >> the treasury secretary, janet yellen, said the debt ceiling is going to be running out on october 18th. you saw the house tonight pass legislation that would extend the debt limit until 2022. however the bill doesn't stand a great chance in the senate. they democrats would need -- the democrats would need 10 republicans to go along with them and there don't seem to be 10 republicans willing to vote to raise a debt limit. democrats say they have a couple of other options as well,

potentially president biden could raise the debt limit on his own. there's also been talk of missing a trillion dollar coin that could pay the debt. lots of discussion underway. democrats have at this point said they will not be using the reconciliation process to move the debt limit. that could take several weeks to do. they would really have to start something like that about now, if they want to get it done by the deadline. shery: what's the dynamic right now between progressive democrats and moderates? what's president biden doing to bring more to his side? >> president biden was actually staying in the white house continuing to negotiate with lawmakers. senators headed over to the white house to meet with white house officials. we saw the two top democrats, speaker nancy pelosi and majority leader chuck schumer, on talk with biden. -- go and talk with biden. there's still a ways to go on negotiations over this social spending bill. we don't have a topline number.

there are still questions about how various programs will be funded. if infrastructure doesn't happen tomorrow, lawmakers still have time to work on this and figure out a way to come together. if it's not done tomorrow, it doesn't mean it is not done at all. tomorrow's vote is a precarious one for democrats. because if they don't pass the infrastructure bill, that is going to be pretty amyris and for them and for president biden -- pretty embarrassing for them and for president biden. >> emily wilkins, with the very latest. let's get you a quick check of the latest business flash headlines. citigroup is trying to persuade an appeals court that disgruntled creditors should return more than half $1 billion that the bank accidentally sent the last year.

promised to keep gas prices stable for residence. a call shortage is causing a power crisis in china. china it is set to put asian liquefied natural gas to all-time highs. powered by lng. let's go to some of the price charts just to see the movements that we are seeing. we've got liquefied natural gas. within striking distance of a record. we are also looking at some of the coal and iron ore futures, those have been flying high. if we go specifically to liquefied natural gas, the consumption in china is forecast to rise 6% from this time last year. it's been void by the switch from covid. check out how this is impacting

other commodities like silicon, which has quadrupled this year, mostly in the past few weeks. hint, it is used in solar panel manufacturing. we have been addressing this all week. shortages, pushing coal to never before seen prices. we've got beijing authorities considering letting power generators charge more, because they want to allow the generation to really pick up on their end. all of it, causing goldman sachs for instance to the clearly power crisis, yet another growth shock for china. >> investors of course trying to pick out the winners and losers and the stocks being impacted by the crisis. >> yet. there are likely more losers than winners here.

but let's go through the panel of the big movers we are seeing. electricity users, all down at the moment. there's a big question as to what is going to happen with these electricity suppliers. analysts say again, what we are going to see here is at least 20 provinces and regions, which make up more than two thirds of china's gdp, that cutting for some form of power cuts, so that could be the reaction we are seeing. coal and gas exporters are more likely to gain the analysts. factories churning out everything from twist to vital components for apple and tesla have been caught in this follow. analysts say producers of gas for the region will be the clear beneficiaries of surging crisis while those importing, consuming, and distributing, the companies in india, they stand to lose. they use lng as feedstock.

the risk is for a margin squeeze again as we come into winter. that is particularly for the gas distributors. >> su keenan, with the latest on the implications of the china power crunch. our next guest essays the factory gauge falling into contraction because of worsening energy shortages, let's bring in robin xing. managing director and chief china economist at morgan stanley. you seem to be a little bit more pessimistic than consensus. why? >> well, i think when we are meeting forecasts, either gdp or pmi and china, what we need to bear in mind is they have a major regulatory reset -- had a major regulatory reset late last year. we are seeing the housing downturn.

it is part of this reset to tackle deleveraging, decarbonization, and rate distribution -- and redistribution. this power crunch, which means production cuts in order to comply with the energy-saving targets, causes slower housing activity. and pressure for some property developers. there will not be a significant drag on growth. but there will be some offsetting from the pboc and the ministry of finance. tennis pmi will fall to 40.5 in september and in third quarter it is tracking a 4.5% year-over-year, which is also weaker than most people expected. shery: you mentioned the pboc, this chart shows the pboc toolkit. what are you expecting them to use, in order to help the economy? >> i think we are at the

inflection point of further policy easing. with the pboc, number one is liquidity injection. they will likely cut the ratio by 50 basis points. followed by more lending quota for both the manufacturing sector, complemented by the ministry of finance. all in all, that means september will likely mark the trough of china's finance growth. we will see more rebound in the growth from fourth quarter onwards. shery: speaking of what the pboc potentially can do to help with the situation, over at evergrande, we have been seeing global investors really weighing in on the argument, everybody is watching as to what the rest

of the story will play out like. listen to what a chief investment china just had to say. >> over the next 2-3 months, growth is something you have to watch out for and china. the government is conscious about the impact. we have seen the pboc losing monetary policy. i would expect the next few months, we will see more support in that front. to make sure we sustain into 2022. haidi: we've had liquidity injections, and direct guidance from the government already in terms of how firms can support evergrande. do you expect this to accelerate into more direct intervention? >> well, i don't have a crystal ball to forecast what can happen for a civil firm on a specific date. but what we can observe from what china handled before and

the current events in the last 18 months, it looks like the authorities have a playbook to manage and organize restructuring of issues in the huizinga sector -- the housing sector. it's part of the regulatory reset. what we are likely to see from the playbook is number one, they will try to maintain the operations of the property developer. the default likely happens at the holding company level. there are probably 500-600 projects for property developers. they will try to maintain operations for these projects coming to finish them. number two, all parties are incentivized to avoid a liquidation scenario. they will likely establish a committee. banks will looks and the payment

deadlines. with the window guidance headed by the central bank. and a restructuring plan could be reviewed. but it could take quite a long time to complete the restructuring. because with the sheer size of the city, the property developer, it is more complex than the cases that we observed over the last 18 months. haidi: yetah. bloomberg also reported on the bond issue by jumbo enterprises. we now start to worry about the depth of the cross defaults. does that make it harder for authorities to be able to [indiscernible] the risk? >> i would say, what china's revelatory reset means for its economy is you see in your one of the reset -- year one of the reset a lot of the regulation

rules were enforced in a very harsh way. with and even -- with uneven communication, not regulated. it happened in 2016 with a supply-side consolidation. then with the banking cling up. this is year one of this reset we talked about, the housing deleveraging, decarbonization. right now, we see some abrupt change in some of the regulation rules. that is causing impact to the market. overall, i would say, this is part of the far-reaching and wider regulatory tightening cycle in china. i would say there's liquidity pressure for housing sector players and a -- and production cuts for these energy sectors and we see

downside risk for the enemy. what we observed in the past, we have seen this in movies may times on the revelatory reset in china, in year one, there's not much rulebook. so there's disruption to the market. but over the time span of 12-18 months, they will likely finalize the over arching framework, given the new rulebook. by that time, i think the impact to the market will be more predicable. shery: great to have your insights into what's happening in china. robin xing. managing director and chief china economist at morgan stanley. joining us with his forecast for the economy. we talked about the hour crunch and china hurting factory production. the power curves really having a broad impact across the economy. of course we cannot forget that it's also hurting food prices,

in the sense that it's sending them higher, processing plants, from everything from corn to soybeans to peanuts. having to shut down, coming at a time during which food prices, we didn't need an extra boost to those prices, but we could get them. haidi: and this is coming at a critical time, going into the autumn harvest period. farmers and agricultural firms and livelihoods really depending on this. it is things that we usually do not think about, energy and electricity required to drive crops,. -- required to produce cups. -- required to produce crops. we are seeing this widespread impact. this is in-state back to media, of key importance. it's very clear we are seeing the leadership in beijing become

didn't fail. we didn't expect these huge supply constraints coming out of the pandemic. it is frustrating they are there and boosting inflation. it's going to continue for longer than we thought, then it's going to ease. as for christine lagarde, she said bottlenecks are excel the rating in some areas -- accelerating in some areas, we are monitoring it, we are going to see how fast it fades. obviously still optimistic this will not be long-lasting. importantly, andrew bailey, the head of the bank of england, they left their door open to a november rate hike. may be slowing down versus the fact that their inflation has shot up, too. they said they are watching inflation expectations and looking for second round effects as shortages of petrol are pushing gasoline prices up. finally, the governor of japan, still try to get inflation up to 1%, let alone 2%. he did say though that demand is surging so much for what they are trying to produce, there are so many supply shortages, that

is having upward pressure on those prices to continue not going away very soon. again, we see all these stories about shortening of supply, ships waiting to unload, they do wonder, at one point does the supply chain constraint keep going? and that becomes a problem. haidi: does that narrative square with the numbers? we don't know for sure. in a couple of months, maybe it does all start dying down quickly. > let's look at the bloomberg terminal chart. we can see what inflation is doing in these countries. the purple line is a u.s. since march, there's been a steady jump up and inflation. -- up in inflation. does it look like it's going to be temporary? we don't know. the red flags come also up -- the red flex, also up

on early in the pandemic. number one, any fracturing just wasn't fully -- manufacturing just wasn't fully ramped up yet. early on, the manufacturing just wasn't as great as it is now. there was also the other element of the entire world being unvaccinated. you had countries like the u.s. and the u.k. in many places in europe that were keeping all the vaccine that it was producing. we saw the same thing in india. while there was production happening, those charts were not able to get to some of these other places, specifically developing countries and places that couldn't pay as much or perhaps were relying on covax donations. they just didn't come in and the early days. china stepped up then. we should note the vaccines are very effective from china, reducing hospitalizations and deaths. we are talking about the continuing infection rate here.
