7:00 pm
haidi: hello and welcome to daybreak asia. sophie: we are counting down to asia's major market open. kathleen: and good evening from new york. here are our top stories. asia stocks may lag behind the u.s. despite the s&p 500 hitting a record high. traders are weighing inflation and covid-19 risks amid key earnings reports.
7:01 pm
facebook reports strong revenue growth but warns of headwinds in the fourth quarter. internal documents highlight the company's struggles. crown resorts said to be unfit to run its flagship melbourne casino as a royal commission inquiry finds the company engaged in conduct that is quote illegal and exploitative. haidi: let's get you straight to the third quarter preliminary gdp numbers that have just come through. we have seen a slightly softer print than expected. rising 4% year on year. when it comes to the breakdown we are seeing manufacturing gaining by .2% quarter on quarter, 5.9% year on year. we are seeing a gain of .3%, softer than the .6% and a pullback from .8%. we all saw wholesale contract
7:02 pm
.8% quarter on quarter, although a gain of over 2% year on year. the economy has been bucking pandemic headwinds. really some of the cushioning scene from the impact of supply chain disruptions and virus resurgence. let's bring in the korean economist joining us from hong kong. great to have you. in terms of initial reaction, little more muted than what economists were expecting. >> the number came out slightly slower than expected. we are forecasting 4.3% with 0.6% quarter over quarter growth. but it is understandable given the fourth wave situation in korea during july and august would be domestic consumption may have slowed slightly longer than expected.
7:03 pm
although we saw the shock was shorter lived compared to previous waves that the shock on the mobility might be longer-lasting than we expected. but certainly we expect the turnaround by the fourth quarter as korea achieved 70% of population getting fully vaccinated as of the past weekend. haidi: does this change the calculus for expectations in november? >> i think for this year for november hike is almost a done deal. the governor has been very solid about giving a strong message for his concern over the financial imbalance is much larger than the growth trajectory we are looking at right now. even with the 4% year-over-year growth with today's print it is
7:04 pm
still ok for the b.o.k. to continue with their forecast for this year at 4% year-over-year. it is for the outlook next year i think is a bit of a concern given that there is external demand, slowdown possibility, with china macro stability. kathleen: 4% gdp growth for many countries is still considered quite good. when you look at the exporting status of south korea, the biggest exporter in the world even though it is the 11th largest economy. you know whatever is happening in china and we have seen that chart deceleration in gdp in the third quarter, and people are concerned about the fourth quarter. how big of a bite cadet take out of korea's gdp -- could that take out of korea gdp growth? >> external demand is a very important part of the korean gdp and china takes up about 25% of that in the export by volume.
7:05 pm
the china activity is extremely important. so this year we actually see the strength supported by others let the u.s., europe and even some of the emerging markets demand holding out. that could offset the slowdown from china for this year at least. but for next year we are looking at 4% year-over-year growth for china. that is a huge slowdown compared to this year we are forecasting at 7.7%. for korea, we just scrapped off 30 basis points from 3.5 to 3.2 on china instability and there could be more downside risk if the policy easing in china does not come in effectively on time. kathleen: that is for the -- let's talk about the korean consumer. it is export driven to a large extent. nevertheless, the korean consumer also mix a difference. what do you see, particularly
7:06 pm
with your confidence that covid, the worst may be behind in the country? >> we are optimistic about semester consumption. the vaccination -- about domestic consumption. the vaccination rate has been on schedule and in line with our baseline. korea achieved 70% of a totally vaccinated population as of this past weekend, and that is 80% of the total adult population. so korea can officially kick off normalization, back to normal plans from early november. and the government had given out a blueprint of lifting the business restrictions and plans to distribute another round of consumption vouchers. all these rolling out measures does put a fed risk to the domestic consumption through the fourth quarter and next year. so we think domestic activities on the retail sector should be
7:07 pm
able to offset some of the slowdown from the export sector next year. kathleen: thank you very much, commenting on the korean gdp, third quarter coming in a little lighter than forecast. let's get a look at the market. sophie: looking at the sydney open, gaining ground. on monday we have plenty of trading updates to consider. oil search rising on the back of its solid report card. it narrowed its output guidance given it expects to invest less than initially anticipated. in wellington we are seeing .2% after the new zealand market came back from the long weekend. to year yields push higher as we get repricing for the rbnz policy outlook from kiwi bank. nikkei futures pushing lower after japanese stocks on monday. earnings from names like panasonic and other suppliers
7:08 pm
after tesla clinched a deal with hertz, pushing shares to above $1 trillion, helping lift the s&p 500. stock movers in sydney we want to highlight, operators in focus after the inquiry into crown. crown shares jumping 11%, the most since march. haidi: yeah. let's talk about the outlook for crown. our managing editor emma o'brien joins us. we are getting crown's response now. they say they will work cooperatively with the government and they are reviewing the report and the government response. is this a second chance? because clearly investors are loving stopping short of removing the license. emma: yeah, that is a curious reaction. up as much as 12%.
7:09 pm
obviously investors expected this to be worse. at least he melbourne casino is allowed to keep running, unlike their property in sydney. that is probably the silver lining here. you would think any potential investors, and of course you have blackstone and star entertainment circling crown for a couple of months. you would think this strict government oversight for the next two years would be a deterrent. but perhaps they may view it, and perhaps this is what shareholders are doing, as a chance for them to just get through, clean things up over these next two years, and then i n the clear after that. kathleen: so what will they have to do now to walk that path? obviously it seems a lot of people are figuring, hey, they really got a lucky break to get this two year reprieve, clean up
7:10 pm
their act, and keep going. what will that cleanup entail? emma: they are going to have a special manager appointed to oversee the casino in melbourne, which does provide the bulk of crown resorts' revenue, more than 65%. they have quite a lot of power to veto board decisions, unfettered access to their books and records. which you would think would have any company quaking in their boots, but as you say, it's probably being seen as a reprieve, a chance to clean up there at -- their act and get in line with what regulators are asking and keep on operating. but it is pretty intense as to what is being asked for by this report and the government. haidi: blackstone and star have
7:11 pm
been circling. will this quell their interest for now? emma: i think it remains to be seen. we will be reaching out to them and seeing what they have to say. you wonder whether two years, intends oversight, unfettered access to the books would be a deterrent to investors like that. but they may have a longer term view. i think we just need to see how they move next. kathleen: we certainly shall. thank you so much. still ahead, we get the outlook on currencies with jp morgan executive director. next however, elon musk now worth a quarter of a trillion dollars as tesla hits the trillion dollar market cap mark. the latest on what boosted the stock. this is bloomberg. ♪ this is bloomberg. ♪
7:12 pm
7:13 pm
7:14 pm
vonnie: the lire has been making a recovery after turkey's president dropped a demand for 10 western ambassadors to be expelled. erdogan said they issued a statement to undo what he called slander for turkey to release a businessman and critic who has been jailed for four years. the u.s. is super -- is a economic aid to sudan -- the $700 million package had been intended to support sudan's democratic transmission -- transition. sudan will appoint a new government. hong kong has convicted a second person amid a sweeping crackdown
7:15 pm
on political dissent. he faces up to seven years in prison after being found guilty. he denies the charges. the two trials held so far focused heavily on the use of political slogans. freedom of speech is being eroded. global news 24 hours a day on air and on bloomberg quicktake, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i'm vonnie quinn. this is bloomberg. haidi: facebook shares rallied in late trade as lid is results showed more people are using the app than predicted. it was a bit of a relief for investors but going forward, there are serious concerns, particularly when it comes to the younger demographic. >> yes. today's results came on the heels of some revelations concerning internal documents at facebook which show facebook is losing its grip among some of its younger users, including
7:16 pm
teens and young adults. they are not signing up for the platform at as high numbers and spending less time on the site. that raises concerns among investors on the earnings call. chief executive officer mark zuckerberg said look, this is going to be a priority. he said facebook is going to retool some of its teams to continue to attract that young adult cohort. kathleen: so he is going to try and do that at the same time digital advertising is the name of the game. how many ads you can get. if you cannot keep the younger audience, how much bigger of a deal is it that all the revelations about the internal debate within facebook over illuminating hate speech, incendiary -- illuminating hate speech, -- about eliminating hate speech, how much will this
7:17 pm
be an extra burden? naomi: one of the things that mark zuckerberg said during the call is facebook faces competing priorities. and one of them is enabling free expression he said, and another is taking on offensive content like hate speech, like disinformation. and he says but he really talented the success of his team in tackling these issues compared to other social media companies. he said those problems did not originate with social media, and social media companies by themselves will not be able to fix it. and so i think we saw today during the earnings call a full throttled defense from mark zuckerberg about his company's effort to tackle some of those kinds of ills on the platform. kathleen: thank you so much. social media reporter naomi
7:18 pm
makes. we -- naomi nix. we -- i love this tesla story. it has had a huge push up in the stocks of two companies. the stock of tesla obviously soaring. while you see facebook kind of lagging behind. some people might call it a change of leadership in the market among big companies with many people say tesla is. at the same time it seems to be the real interesting story is partly hertz, four months out of bankruptcy. their interim cdl after three years of ceo of ford was voted out of the board. now he has the chance to try and electrify the car-rental market with a $4.2 billion purchase.
7:19 pm
a big boost for tesla. and plans to be running these cars around the u.s. and europe by november. haidi: that was part of the reason how we saw tesla being vaulted to that for the biggest u.s. company position. and it is important not just in terms of the cars and this deal, but the significance of this. going mainstream. it gives anyone who is curious about driving and electric vehicle, driving a tesla, essentially the opportunity to test drive one through hertz. when it comes to ev's we also have the chinese a startup unveiling details of his new products and features at its tech day including faster charging infrastructure, as well as, yes, a flying car. the vice chairman spoke exclusively with us about their ambitions.
7:20 pm
>> rp seven is our flagship vehicle right now in china. it is one of the best selling devices in the china market. we have seen a strong interest level in our presale program. we are announcing official sales today. this marks another milestone as we have delivered our first and now this is the second flagship product for us to deliver in norway and we are very excited about it. tom: what are you doing to convince buyers in europe that your products can compete with those european incumbents that are now firmly fixed on transitioning to electric vehicles? >> european automakers are very strong and they have a strategy for ev, but we see a similar dynamic. for us, we need to focus on
7:21 pm
producing the best design, the leading technology, and with a differentiated driving experience we can provide a very attractive proposition to european customers as well. it will take time but we are very confident of our product strength. >> what is a new technology that will actually really help you move forward? is that charging technology, batteries, something else? >> i think it is all of the above. because the product cannot have shortcomings. for our product, the p7, it has one of the leading driving ranges for similar products. it will have top-of-the-line smart cab and technologies with voice, with attractive features, with content. and also has driving capabilities and we are seen as a leader in china in that area. that package coupled with beautiful design i think we'll have a very strong appeal to
7:22 pm
customers. tom: i want to zero in on the battery technology. i know you have been investing heavily in this area. talk to about the raw material prices which have spiked. are you able to absorb that cost? what is it doing to margins? are you looking to pass that on to your customers? >> the material price increases have led to a number of changes in the industry. first of all, it forces players to look into cheaper designs of batteries. that is why they have become more and more popular in china and globally because it is cheaper than lithium batteries. but also as the scale of the industry increases i think is a saving you can expect. there's offsetting factors that really play into the dynamic. for automakers, ourselves, we will focus not just on leading technology but the right balance of cost and capabilities.
7:23 pm
and i think and so far, we have been absorbing the price increases of batteries ourselves and i think we have a strategy to put that in the containment. kathleen: xpeng vice chairman speaking exclusively to us. next, korea and taiwan are seeing the biggest upward revisions and earnings estimates so far this year as we a rate -- as we await results. a preview is coming up. this is bloomberg. ♪ this is bloomberg. ♪
7:24 pm
7:25 pm
kathleen: a quick check of the latest headlines. ubs is said to be discussing an end to the standalone status of a key unit that deals with some of its richest clients. we are told that comes amid internal wrangling about how profits are shared between
7:26 pm
wealth management and investing banking business. the cohead of blackstone is reporting a plan to leave. don mccormick broke the news to the company last week. sources say he may pursue other opportunities in academia instead. his co-head is said to become sole head of asset management according to the report. citi winding down its consumer banking business in south korea. they will continue to provide services for contracts until they expire or are terminated, but no new sales will happen. -- mastercard is making it easier for banks to offer cryptocurrency rewards by inking a deal with -- mastercard will also make it easier for consumers to spend cryptocurrency. shares surged more than 230% on
7:27 pm
the news. haidi: let's look at how we are trading so far in the sydney session. looking ahead to the start of trading across other asian markets. we are seeing a rise when it comes to sentiment in asia. record s&p 500 close overnight. excellent earnings and progress on the economic agenda hoping sentiment even as the debate over inflation continues. upside of .3% when it comes to trading in sydney at the moment. crown resorts trading higher after a little bit of a relief. more on that in a moment. new zealand up by about .1%. nikkei futures a little softer about .1% lower. s&p futures up by about .1%. korea trading when it comes to the cost becoming online after a weaker than expected preliminary third-quarter gdp read. crown resorts trading higher by
7:28 pm
10%. investors feeling relief after we found that report finding them unfit to run their flagship melbourne casino but not stripping them of their license. also seeing high when it comes
7:29 pm
7:30 pm
>> we are going their inflation that is higher than americans have seen in a long time. it is something that is obviously a concern and worrying them but we have not lost control. kathleen: the debate over price pressures is picking up a bit of steam. going on to twitter. there is janet yellen. former fed chair. larry summers, a former treasury
7:31 pm
secretary, had their job under bill clinton and he comes to twitter to complain about her saying she is wrong about inflation being a problem. sync it will be transitory. i think the gap between what they are saying and what real people, businesses and consumers are seeing is actually widened in week -- recent months. until the treasury recognizes what is wrong, they will not deal with it successfully. people who are buying gold or wanting to push bond yields higher are concerned that they will not go quickly enough. haidi: in fact, they are a paid contributor to bloomberg but goes on to say that the secretary has a twice it has decelerated. this is misleading. if you look at a 12 month cpi inflation rate are at 5%.
7:32 pm
even with the brightest lines and even most well-informed mines, we heard from the former fed governor saying he says potentially sustained inflation above 2%. conversations at this level, there is so much an disparity as to what people believe. kathleen: it has been an unprecedented situation. we have a pandemic making a difference like something like inflation. let us bring in the strategist from jp morgan to put this in a bigger context. for you, daniel, welcome to the show. in the context of a dollar, you are a dollar bull. how does this work out. -- how does this work out? if it goes on too long, and have to hike rates faster, will that support your bullish case and will that happen? guest: yeah, certainly if they become more responsive to stick
7:33 pm
into high inflation and back off a little bit from this idea that it is all transitory unless you need to look through it, that repricing of the fed should be supportive through other means. we are seeing repricing everywhere. we think it makes the most sense for the u.s., given how the u.s. has led cyclically in part because of the large stimulus. we think it makes sense for what you're seeing in the u.s. and that yields will lead the dollar higher, particularly against lagging low wielders. kathleen: what kind of levels do you see potentially for dollar-yen, you are versus dollar if this kind of trend, a slow-moving fed and inflation exist? how much stronger could the dollar get against these major currencies? guest: for our highest prediction is the near dollar. we have had that trade on for
7:34 pm
some time. and none consensus trade for a while. we have been having a target of 112. again, we have recommended that for a while. just to make the case and point, we have had repricing of more aggressive central banks that are more responsive to inflation. the fed is not price that off until september. it is earlier than we are thinking but well within the range of expectations and what the fed has been signaling. that repricing makes sense. at the same time, that is also been repriced and is lifting off in 2022 of next year buys december. we think that is highly unlikely. we are expecting more divergence and deviations in terms of how central banks are being priced and how those expectations are evolving. ultimately, again, that should be contributing to a trending lower in euro-dollar. we also have dollar-yen upside.
7:35 pm
we are doing that more in options form. it is only slightly higher than where we are right now. i think that if yields continue to be as dynamic as they are as double yields back up, there will be more upside to dollar-yen. haidi: the yen has been so strangely unmoved until recently. where to for the chinese currency? especially as we get the flurry of downgrades on economic growth? guest: i think it is an interesting one. sometimes, it is very dynamic to the underlying macro story. sometimes, it is less so. i think there are concerns about the china macro story, ever grand, we have been downgrading our china growth forecast for quite a few times in the last couple months. that doesn't necessarily translate to in -- a bearish view. we expected to grind higher.
7:36 pm
amid a strong dollar environment, you might get more of that strength in trade-weighted through the higher dollar. you might see more of a dollar stand wide. that is basically the view they given the balance of payments and flows dynamics the hind it. it doesn't look like it will reflect kind of macro downsides concerns through weakness there. haidi: commodities correlations? what are you seeing that when it comes back to the aussie? guest: the commodity market is such an unusual situation right now given that a lot of the inflation and what we are seeing in the commodity sector is due to more supply-side dynamics than demand-side dynamics. that makes it more interesting. to the extent you are seeing the supply-side effect. rather than strong growth driving these prices higher, typically, you wanted to strengthen as the underlying
7:37 pm
commission depreciates. if it is happening simultaneously and we are seeing some of that, that would typically be a downside for the commodity currency. it is been messy and i think you see that in the price action. when we had that first spike in the energy crisis, those prices did not but did in a lag since i wouldn't say necessarily that commodity crises is the best way to express a bullish commodity view. i think you need to look currency by currency and what the brought out macro conditions are of these currencies. for example, we are short kiwi. it is seen as somewhat of a commodity currency but for example, the central bank is overpriced there. one of our newest trade recommendations is to long it. haidi: there's so many videos and credit factors coming in at the factors that perhaps, in normal times, so to speak, you
7:38 pm
would not look at. if you look at the fact that asian central banks are starting their tightening cycles in certain spots, where you see the opportunity in that divergence? are you concerned about tapering in asia? guest: this is another area where things are messy and the relationships we are used to do not apply. typically, central-bank hiking means go this good and inflation is coming up. cyclically, they will have strong currency. this time around, it is different. we have had this deviation of central banks in asia having to respond to inflationary concerns. a lot of this concern is due to supply side rather than strong demand-side dynamics. it is not necessarily the case that you want to buy the currency of these heightened that hiking central banks. if there hiking not necessarily because growth is strong but they are concerned about financial stability and their credible the as central banks whereas compared to the other
7:39 pm
markets, they have the credibility. again, it is quite messy. i think to your question about what to do about asia, i think if your scenario is higher energy prices, some concerns about china macro downside, and higher u.s. rates, some of these low currencies, it is not a great mixture for asia necessarily. haidi: great to have you with us. we got as kate earnings coming through. beating analyst estimates. against expectations of 1.3 trillion year on year. that estimate of that 4.6 trillion there. 3.3 trillion one against one trillion year on year end sales also pretty strong. upside beating on estimates.
7:40 pm
45% year on year. sk really has been expected to report some strong earnings after of course, it shares about 15%. chip prices have been robust in driving some of those gains. expectations are that some of these pricing factors will remain weak in the short-term as their industries are still going through these inventory adjustments. they will be focusing on the outlook for on the ram memory as well. pretty strong numbers from them at the moment. kathleen: one other newest chips was named one of the best in the world. this is definitely a company that everybody is watching and when you step back on the world chip shortages and what happens next, it is good to see they are doing as well as they are. it will be interesting to hear what happens next and how the markets react as well. up next, results from oil majors and utility players up next.

7:45 pm
basically, a refinery makes a margin by buying crude and selling the products. that margin is largely dependent on the straight of their oil demand which we know, has required significantly over the past year or so. however, the surge in national -- natural gas prices has pushed industries such as power producers and lng trucking to change from gas to oil. that pushed demand in the margins even further. however, such national -- natural gas prices have pushed out refineries utility costs as well as the cost of hydrogen chemicals in stock which is an important part for things like hydrocracking. generally speaking, refineries that have higher fuel consumption and those that require more hydrogen will see that margin have more immense
7:46 pm
pressure from the surge in natural gas prices. however, refined margins are just seeing some improvement. kathleen: do you expect the price of oil to remain high going into next year? reporter: we are in a situation where demand is slowly picking up. however, oil prices can oil that's really higher it will depend on if there is a greater extent of this. we could be driven by either gas prices rallying even higher or if we have a colder -- colder than normal weather, based on forecasts, we are really not thinking about that at the moment. opec compliance has to remain at a high level. if all those conditions are met then suddenly, we think oil prices could rally even further. if the converse is true, we head into the winter and there is a virus resurge that tempers our virus recovery, particularly jet
7:47 pm
fuel demand, oil prices could face some weakness. another concern for oil prices would be a significant chunk of if they come back online. it could suddenly cause a change in oral prices. that is unlikely scenario based on what we have seen. haidi: saudi arabia announced a plan to be carbon neutral by 2060. a lot of that relies on carbon capture. what impact will that have? reporter: i think it is encouraging that a country so invest in fossil fuels is committed to hit this ambitious target of reaching zero, especially with cop six around the corner. saudi arabia announced plans to produce 9 million net trick -- metric tons of blue and green hydrogen by 2030, each year.
7:48 pm
that is half of today's argent production so that is quite a large number. we have seen that they saw their fists test first -- first shipment of blue among last year. you also find blue hydrogen project agreement with them earlier this year. it seems like it is making quite a concrete baby step towards reaching its initial target. by and large, based on our analysis and new energy outlook, if they hit net zero by 2050, green and blue hydrogen has a big part two plates of this is an encouraging development. kathleen: thank you so much. i want to get to the story about exxon exxon mobil is weighing salary increases, bringing back some benefits.
7:49 pm
it's trying to halt people leaving the country -- company. we are seeing a lot of companies around the world, particularly when it comes to working from home but in this case, it is interesting that when the pandemic came on and obviously, exxon was worried about its business even though it is the biggest most profitable oil business in the world. they had plans last year to cut 14,000 workers, 15% of their staff by the end of 2022. and now, they are turning around and saying that the ceo himself saying they are looking forward to showing employees a different path forward. i think a lot of people are wondering what it is but quite an turnaround. haidi: if you are wondering where a lot of these highly desirable employees are heading, a lot of them are heading to tech and pharma. likes of amazon, other big tech and pharmaceutical giants are picking them up. it is unusual position for them to be in. prior to the pandemic and the
7:50 pm
layoffs, they were one of the well considered employees -- employee -- employers in the u.s.. the high base pay opportunity for travel and job security but the pandemic during a demand slump that oil market crash, suspending travel, suspending contributions to retirement lands. all this has contributed to be fair, what we have seen and called the great resignation, right? kathleen: it will be interesting to see the steps employers take post-pandemic will have just as exxon appears to be doing. let us get to breaking news. japan services producer price index. it is industrial, looking at manufacturing companies. this is services jobs. it is less than expected year-over-year in the month of september.
7:51 pm
that is less than the forecast. it was 1.0% the month before. ppi is much stronger. i was just reminding myself that ppi right now in september with the industrial manufacturing side, services is a very important question for the japanese economy as it is for so many economists. a face-to-face contact job has pulled back. that is restaurants and all kinds of things. these slow price increases are lower than maybe not a surprise. wendy more to come on daybreak asia. this is bloomberg. ♪

makers, the key client apple and they continue to see strong demands for personal computers and other tech gadgets that people need as they stay at home. analysts also see they are going to report strong earnings for the current quarter going ahead. the company has also reported the sale prices for its memory chip which is that they stayed pretty strong and it will continue to see some growth going ahead. there -- kathleen: there been a lot of caution that it should be good but will it? how is that doubt, even though there is a lot of demand and charges when it comes to the chip world, people still wondering how companies are doing. how has their stock been doing? reporter: the company stock has
7:55 pm
been pretty weak. it is fallen about 15% so far this year despite reporting pretty strong earnings. we have seen a similar case with its rival which this year has been pretty weak as well. we can see this as part of the broader portfolio readjustment by global investors who are trying to reduce their growth and add more value stock. as we expected that tapering coming on. also, the weakness in the local currency which did help their earnings during the third quarter are actually a negative that the global investors see when it comes to buying the value stock which is the last incentive to add value stocks like sk hynix. another thing that may explain weakness in the stock is that next year, we might see weaker cycles for the memory chipmakers
7:56 pm
and prices may go week. maybe behind the share price. kathleen: busy earnings counted from south korea. sophie: bitterness production partner for the co-vaccine in south korea paid we are expecting we could see some weakness what it comes to profit on the supply chain disruptions of hit the auto industry. we are keeping an eye on this and so after they missed their earnings miss to third quarter two to the recall for batteries and the impact from chip shortages on shipments for the company. going forward, we expect they will have soaring prices. we are looking at the wider ev space. battery makers after test was hurts order speaks to the broadening access to ev. you're watching suppliers like panasonic in particular, after announced plans to roll out a cheaper battery. haidi: market opens comes up

jailed for four years. u.s. is suspending economic aid to sedan after they arrested the prime minister and other government officials. a state department spokesperson said the $700 million package had been intended to support the democratic transition. sudan's military rulers say they are dissolving the highest position -- decision-making body and will appoint a new government. global news 24 hours a day, on air and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am vonnie quinn. this is bloomberg. haidi: our next guest says the q3 corporate earnings season is promising to be a strong driver of the chip preferred equity market. that is the u.s. and euro area. kenny see the down cycle in asia changing the story? let us bring in the cif of management. we continue to see divergence when it comes to earnings expectations going forward between those two key markets
8:06 pm
and here in asia. where do you find the opportunities then? guest: from in asia perspective, we are focused on india we are seeing the strong performance there as being encouraging. the economic information and pickup in the vaccinations is improving quite significantly as well. overall, we have a way to go with the it within an asian context. from a global perspective as you mentioned, u.s. and europe is still our preferred way ahead in terms of the vaccination cycle, recovery doing well, similar military -- monetary and fiscal policy. the movements from asia -- u.s. and europe are still strong for us. haidi: when it comes to the plate and that we are seeing asian central banks and a number of them starting their tightening cycle, are there
8:07 pm
other opportunities in the gap therebetween policy? guest: i think the key for policy going forward, we are seeing inflation picking up globally. people in the emerging world are treating that fairly differently. they're starting to tighten policy in the face of that. i think the key to the prospects here. when policy perspective and a relative market performance perspective is what happens to the dollar. clearly, the dollar has strengthened modestly. over the course of our six months, it has strengthened modestly and that has put some currencies on the back foot a little bit. that doesn't help them at all when it comes to managing inflation and inflation expectations. word the dollar to definitively turn lower, authorities in china would provide a strong anchor and we are seeing some's signs of strength in recent times. if that were to come to pass,
8:08 pm
that would ease the pressure on central banks across the emerging world and in asia. that could be a very strong back tail and for asia but at the moment, that course marriott might not happen but we would like to see the dollar peak out now and move definitively lower and the next 6-12 months to reassure us. kathleen: we have a headline on the bloomberg. this raises concern over memory demand even though the latest porter look good and it seems like chips are a hot commodity, right? there are shortages of all kinds in your view, question of the day, how will supply chain woes affect assets of all kinds? guest: it is an extremely complex question and you can argue about supply chain and chips, energy, etc., right?
8:09 pm
is putting pressure on inflation in the short-term. we do see the subsiding as the supply chain constraints ease. as we see the demand to remain strong but people respond to that demand in a more coordinated and stronger fashion. from that perspective, the key for equity investors is this rising and prices affecting margins. the definitive response so far from the earnings season in the u.s. is absolutely not. we are seeing earning surprises around 12% positive so far. it's early but have reported that 12% earning surprise. but the profit margin estimates are likely to be revised higher despite fears they could go the other way. kathleen: that seems like a pretty straightforward pick, right? when you look at china and the
8:10 pm
wide reaching reforms that just don't seem to stop. is it easy to say don't bother with that? is a harder question is where are the specific opportunities? eventually, this levels out or some companies will thrive and others will not. when you put these portfolios together and make your recommendations, how do you factor those in? guest: within china, these sectors there are industrials and technology. it is almost a geopolitical context here. we are seeing increased desire to be self-sufficient in certain areas. yes, you got the headwinds for the property sector most obviously, increasing now and the financial sector as well. you do see these challenges to different industries. it seems to be a rolling concerned that we have more protectively, we would say would be the technology space for instance as the country trust -- try some more sufficiency and
8:11 pm
chips. this is not the social media or in the tech space. from our perspective, we would say it is the best place to be for investors to hunker down from a china perspective. haidi: as we get into copy six and this realignment of rio -- commence various nations, -- commitments from various nations, will there be more green and climate related opportunities given the enthusiasm in area already? guest: we do believe climate change will be a definitive theme and trend over the coming decade. it is not just in the coming weeks and months. it is a much longer term thing. we do see significant opportunities in that space. as you mentioned, evaluations in the space are quite expensive
8:12 pm
but relative to the opportunity, we still see long-term investment opportunities. it is huge. we believe there are definitive areas that will do well. one could argue that higher oil prices in this regard, in terms of the search for alternative sources of fuel or energy, that plays into that theme. it reduces the green premium and increases the opportunities for alternative energy sources to become profitable. overall, we think it is an interesting area on a multiyear perspective. kathleen: thank you so much. cio at standard charter wealth management. still ahead, we discuss the new report of m&a intact with the head of bubble technology practice. perhaps, the week headline figures, we parse to the report.

8:36 pm
looked at the largest deals of the five largest providers. across those deals it's around 80% or 90% of the deal value is benefiting competition increasing the level of competition and as well benefiting consumers a great deal. >> i assume you have lots of clients who do m&a, big tech companies pitch to ask you, you said you were interested to find this out. do your clients feel they are under attack to see what's really on? to have something that defends their activities? >> i think may be some of our clients feel that way. it was just a topic that rose to the top of our i.p. agenda at the practice level. we do believe that any business model that's this successful should be scrutinized.

but topic of m&a being used to extinguish competition, we felt was over blown. >> david, there's lots of concerns over the growth trajectory some of the big tech giants including likes of facebook without the ability to leverage off these convenient m&as. do you expect activity to die down across the sector as the tightening continues? >> i think that's up to regulators. i certainly hope not. i think our research suggest that the m&a is creating value. concepts that with great innovations. once acquired we're invested in a way that allow them to globalize and bring their innovations to a much broader audience. that's good for consumers. it's great for consumers. it lowers prices in many case. in other cases it add new

8:39 pm
regulate their m&a activity. >> when you look out over the landscape, where do you think the biggest opportunities for m&a are now within the big tech sphere? >> i think each company has its own road map of m&a. typically, just working with subset of these clients, they are thinking about some blend of two primary modes. one is to secure a foothold in the new domain that they will invest in and grow. it's an area they can bring value. the other is to secure or bring scale economies to domains in which they are planning. you have to literally answer that question how you feel company by company where the acquisitions will likely be. >> david crawford thank you for being with us. head of global technology practice. coming up next, he manages to
