haidi: we are live from new york, sydney and hong kong.

annabelle: counting down to the market opens. kathleen: stocks are set for a weaker opening asia. fresh data supports the fed tightening stance while commodity sinks. china -- goldman sachs orders a return to the office five days a week. haidi: we have korean industrial production numbers. the contraction is worse than expected. 1.3%. the gain of 1.9% was revised down. on a year-over-year basis, the

numbers missing expectations, the june number is revised and the cyclical index change for july, contraction of 3/10 of a percent versus no change. we have been expecting more of an improvement when it comes to industrial production numbers, better vehicle indicators, exports, perhaps asking some gains what we continue to see kind of korea. watching for more signs of the recovery, the pmi for south korea. kathleen: let's take a look at the futures market. we see is a little bit of a bounceback on the nasdaq, 1.1%. fractional gains here. at least the rest of sentiment

has been generated by hawkish comments from three fed bank presidents today echoing from jackson hole. we can see that path even though we see strong because data, the fed has plenty of room to remain aggressive. upon futures are higher, the 2-year note is higher during the u.s. trading day. still, oil having a little bounce. oil is down to $92 about. now at $92 and change. this is after conflict in the streets of baghdad has not hit the oil industry, commodity prices had pressure, asia and beyond. annabelle: the u.s. data you

mention. fed hawkish in us. probably in asia, we looking to follow the wall street session, new zealand is online to the downside, some building approval data out, 5% on the month, signaling perhaps the economy is withstanding this pressure, rising rates, rising costs. some other key data on the docket, you had the korea data, japan two out this hour. china pmi data. lots of headwinds facing the chinese economy, take a look at where global stocks have fared over the past month. we're down 2.5% on the month. everything is lower your today. energy is the only sector left standing.

unsurprising given the shortages. haidi: let's get some more analysis on that. garfield reynolds is with us. the u.s. confidence in jobs report. we had fed speak supporting what we heard from jay powell at jackson hole. what are we seeing in terms of markets reacting trying to trudge into a new month? reporter: as far as the u.s. is concerned, good economic news is bad news for assets because that confirms the fed is going to continue to be extremely hawkish. we have pricing like a two and three chance of a 75 point races -- basis point hike. if you look at the data, it is understandable. we need to get a significantly

week set of data both from payroll and cpi next week before you would think 75 basis points would be the least likely outcome. that is making things tough. as mentioned when it comes to asia, we have the potential for bad economic news which will be bad news for assets, if you look at china, that has a great deal of difficulty coming up with prescriptions to turn output around. japan already has massive tv still in place. any problems will change either local or global policy settings. >> where are we headed in terms of the last trading day? it's been so tumultuous and

uncertain. reporter: the difficulty is, investors are hoping for some capacity to stop and think and look at where we can see some long-term value without running into a situation where we have to wonder whether we can afford to hold on. we might get a bit of a turnaround at some of those data points come in more kindly, because it is the end of the month. you could see some grounds denoting equity futures were up slightly. going forward, it comes down to central bankers and strategists talking about a narrow window to avoid a hard landing on the policy front. that window seems to have --

that is what indicators are signaling. that would be what investors are looking for. if the window is shut, has not been locked. kathleen: in asia, we seem to be getting the tone set for u.s. equities, bonds, we carried over. doesn't asian need some steam of its own? reporter: asia might be doing better than the rest of the world were it not for the drag on activity, the region's biggest economy, it's also the central bank that had space to try and turn it around, but it is facing so many other burdens that it has been reluctant to do that. the china pmi coming out will be key, and going forward, we have

the name for when congress happens in october, you can think the chinese will want to show some signs the economy is improving as they get ready to anoint xi jinping. kathleen: what do you make of the commodities market right now? is the war in ukraine bubbling over to every commodity, how does the play into what is driving markets broadly? reporter: it's very much about energy. it's not just ukraine. in china, the rivers are dry. they can't get enough hydropower. problems of transport. same sort of thing is happening in europe. climate change is having a real impact on global economy. in the u.s., there have been

times where extreme heat has put strains on texas and its energy producing industry. it's very much focused on the energy side. if you look at metal, they went up a lot. those gains have not been -- you have high inflation reducing demand. energy remains the major problem, the look at the surprise bounceback, that is partly because oil prices came back down a bit. but, they're going to stay elevated going forward. that's going to go on causing problems. kathleen: bloomberg's garfield reynolds.

the china leadership conference will begin on october 16, bringing president xi jinping to an unprecedented third term. stephen engle is following this story for us as always. drumroll. this is a big moment. stephen: it's the worst kept secret. the top of the agenda is an anointment for a third consecutive term. in 2018, he was able to change the constitution and abolish the term limits so he will be able to be potentially a leader in perpetuity. again, this is a highly choreographed national congress that is held every five years. the jockeying is behind the scene. that will last about a week behind closed doors. about 2300 communist party officials will gather and

essentially be horsetrading and jockeying for positions will probably already be dealt with in the previous week, and at the end of the long week, xi jinping will walk out on the right carpet followed by six other standing committee members and ranking order. that is where it will be very interesting. at least two members have surpassed the unwritten retirement age of 68. also, the number two in the pecking order is 67, he has already announced he is going to resign. three potential members of the standing committee could be picked. will xi jinping have enough of a mandate built as supreme leader to put his own people in those

positions? kathleen: let me juxtapose those. underpinnings, how much power he has, because the banks are carrying loans, trying to get the company through it. all of the things that are going on can't be the most popular part of the program. stephen: is going to get a third term. he is facing extreme challenges with the issues in your brain, issues with taiwan. domestically, he has taken on a lot of fights. the property prices, covid zero. there is so much to break down. the bank with the biggest

exposure has been reflected in these results we got yesterday from the biggest bank, the china construction bank, and the bank of china. the net income was ok. they gained between 4.9% and six 3%. the property loans have soared. record 2.95 trillion yuan as of june, 39 trillion in outstanding mortgages. the bank of china can be seen as the most vulnerable, the most exposed with 38% tied to the real estate sector. nonperforming loans rose to 5.47% with the industry below 2%. you can see, this is a big challenge.

the government is pushing these big state banks to len off, it's ordered them to cut the loan prime rates. that is pressure on the net interest margins as they are strong-armed to lend and boost this economy. there is going to be headwinds for the banks as they try to support growth leading into the party congress. haidi: you have so much to bring together. a momentous year. stephen engle with the latest. let's get you to vonnie quinn. >> the european union is net gas storage goals. they had aim to fill reserves to help absorb supply shocks. high energy prices are worsened

by gas flows. the eu commission president says more needs to be done. >> we have agreed all member states could save 16% of energy between august and march. the second pillar is we need to diversify away from russian fossil fuels to fill storage. here is good news. we have reached an average of 80%. >> taiwanese soldiers have fired fouts toward off civilian drones. a taiwanese military statement did not identify the drones and says they retreated in the direction of a chinese city. chinese stocks in the u.s.

tumbled after reports of the altercations. sri lanka has announced new reforms and raised taxes in bailout talks with the imf. the president said value-added prices will be raised to 15%. he announced a write off. the administration is looking to reach an agreement with the imf team. the last leader of the european union has died at the age of 91. a news agency says he died at a russian hospital. he pushed for radical changes to the soviet economy after becoming a communist leader at age 55. the overhaul unleashed a political avalanche that brought down the berlin wall. 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: the darkening global outlook has credits we shifting to underweight stocks. let's get more from jp morgan. we have a few more spots of resilience in asian markets. how are you positioning going into the rest of the year? guest: good morning. without the rally, we have a cautious attitude toward equity markets. this will continue as long as we see an outlook for weakening growth.

thinking about the uncertainty that comes with the global economic environment. haidi: in terms of opportunities you see in asia, what are you lacking at the moment? guest: there are some bright spots when it comes to investing. the resilience offset some of the weakness, we are thinking about the different stage asia is in the recovery story compared to other parts of the world. obviously, think about the impact of china. we are thinking about that a

little bit separately and seeing valuations that are still relatively attractive, growth that can come through, earnings estimates stay a bit low given the growth that could come through, we could see the market behave a little bit differently this time in the face of external pressures. kathleen: i want to ask you the poll question. where do you see the most value in china? guest: our attitude is long-term. the greatest value will come through. we think about the environmental side of things, big commitment to achieving goals around omissions and the support that comes to that side. anything in line with environmental goals and targets to bring down omissions, technology gains that can come with that will be one of the best things for china in the

longer term. kathleen: how are currencies at play here? we have different metrics, different dynamics. guest: that is right. the headwind from the u.s. dollar, expectations have changed. a case of how central banks are positioned in asia relative to the u.s.. they were ahead of the curve with the inflation outlook, going through the rate hiking cycle. we think about those benefits in terms of your not going to see as much pressure as you have seen in the past. again, we are investing from a u.s. dollar base perspective, hedging they will come through

in a meaningful way. currency views are a little more stable compared to what we are seeing now. perhaps a little bit less of a headwind. kathleen: thank you so much. there is plenty more to come on daybreak asia.

retail sales are due and korea posted numbers and we saw it coming in at 1.5% of growth on the year, below the estimate for the gain of 2.6% and a signal the fourth largest economy in asia could be losing steam and there are uncertainties. on the chart you can see the diverging fortunes of the countries in asia and how they are suffering under the china slowdown. southeast asia is holding up well. they have more essential goods and services going into china. north asia is not the same story. south korea saw declining shipments and electronics in august. we are looking at commodities.

copper and aluminum tumbled in the previous session. concerns around china's covid crisis on how it will affect demand. supply seems to be easing. kathleen: european energy prices plunging as effort step up to curb the crisis. an increased risk of recession. let's bring in jonathan barrett. they talk about bringing down consumption and taking steps and how can you describe the dynamics right now in the market

facet by -- be set by the ukraine war and droughts around the world? >> the major thing we look at is when you look at energy prices, natural gas, we are trying to work out how 104% increase in the commodities, when you look at british natural gas, it's over 400% up. what does it mean for inflation on supply? we understand supply as they are, but for how long given the ukraine situation? so it's all about how we will manage, particularly in the northern hemisphere. kathleen: tell us about the expected harsh winter. i have heard the phrase over and over. >> comes down to climate change.

we have had extreme heat waves and extreme cold. it is how the market behaves. if we do not have enough supply you will see homes and industries have problems. then we would have problems of economic slowdowns that affect everything. climate change is creating these volatile things and it will create blackouts in energy. haidi: stimulus policies out of china are beginning to step up. will it be enough to create renewed demand? >> i think that will be the interesting thing. it's a lot of money they will spend. i understand there are problems

over there in terms of the property sector and covid but when you look at certain commodities that say regardless of stimulus they will be needed and i feel certain sectors in the commodities area will be where we invest. we have to try to look through the woods for the trees and come up with some suggestions. haidi: a lot of problems the world is grappling with comes down to structural issues taking a long time. when it comes to those changes to benefit the clean energy transition, what opportunities do you see? >> icd energy crisis as a great opportunity -- i see the energy crisis as a great opportunity to get to the targets we are aiming for.

i think the situation has proven there were issues so this is a good divergence into the green energy space. what is happening is negative but it's a great opportunity for the world to factor in that green energy and get on it and spend more energy and money on it. it's an opportunity to focus on it. haidi: how much further downside move do you expect to see from these metals like copper and aluminum? >> it's interesting. aluminum is on another year low. when you combine the energy crisis with high energy intensive productions like aluminum and you are already in a dire situation, you think, how

far can it go? i look at the aluminum market is a prime example where you have energy problems, demand trying to reach [indiscernible] there is a mismatch. we find it low-end and start to trade to the topside. when i see it for the next 12 months i see a supply issue but also demand. >> where do you see the price of crude going, and natural gas? >> the crude market is volatile. let's see what happens with sanctions. as we come into the hurricane season i see further upsides back over 100 regardless of the

recession. 105. my guess is it will be super volatile. we have to see if climate change comes. and then we will see consolidation. haidi: we have some breaking news. apple chief primary officer is set to leave the company for a new role at a law firm. he was a chief officer who had the job and there has been a strategy increasingly to broader business particularly to be a seller for the product. he took the title last year as the company provided security safeguards.

apple has been touting features like strict air app policies that have been controversial. we have not heard of a replacement yet an apple has not responded to request for comment. this is one of the top rules in the group -- roles in the group. bank of israel says they will likely raise interest rates further. the governor said he suspects it won't happen until the middle of next year. >> israel's economy is in a relatively good situation compared to other developed economies. we have grown in the second quarter by 6.8%. in 2021 by 8.2%. low unemployment.

government surpluses. inflation has been going up but it is among the lowest in many developed economies, perhaps the bottom 10%. yet it is 2.2 percent above the upper 3% limit and we are determined to bring it back to target. we are likely to continue to raise the interest rates. it will have to be somewhere around zero or slightly above and we expect inflation to come back down into the target somewhere next summer but as the rest of the world faces, there is so much uncertainty from oil prices to pressure on supply chain and many other factors. >> you are starting from a lower

level than jay powell. to expect to reach neutrality before other countries? >> it is hard to tell. i think several principles regarding your previous questions, we at the bank of israel are seeing inflation is essentially a tax, a drag on the economy, at a certain level it hurts the lower income segments of society and therefore it is imperative that we bring it back to target. we feel frontloading and that is why we did the rate hike and given the numbers in israel, the economy can absorb that. and i think all these principles, you also saw some of them be referred to in the recent jackson hole meeting. >> the frontloading, governor, does that mean if you are taking

care of business up front could be among the first central banks to start cutting next year? >> i think it takes a while for the interest rate process to cool down the inflation. we see it everywhere. as i mentioned, israel is in a good situation so we expect that process of cooling down in the economy to be able to absorb that but it will take some time and i think at this point, as was also mentioned in other countries, interest rates are likely to be at the higher level for a while until we actually see inflation really stabilizing inside our target range. governor -- >> governor you were in jackson hole with other central bankers listening to jay powell. what extent does the federal

reserve policy guide your own and do you stay in touch with jay powell and other central bankers around the world? >> of course. all central bankers meet and we discussed. these are particularly challenging times for all central banks. supply shocks that ultimately show up on the demand side. it is very important that inflation does not get entrenched, the process of raising interest rates, it is clear it creates pain for many but it is pain today to avoid a much greater pain in the future if inflation was to keep going. kathleen: the bank of israel governor speaking with bloomberg. up next, covid rigid policies.

their international borders are still shut but interesting that china eastern sees the impact on the domestic side because there covid policies are disrupting travel and appetite for consumption internally, which has been the saving grace for some of the airlines in the past two years. kathleen: what is the key takeaway? >> we saw a lot of chinese company earnings last night and showed how the impact on the economy is being felt from covid curbs and property situation. baidu came in above estimates because of revenue from their search function a news app.

i think people seeking information in china, given the ongoing covid a situation and also being forced to stay home, not going out. haidi: it will be quite some time before we get recovery for chinese companies, particularly beleaguered airlines. we are awaiting numbers out of japan. we are waiting. production will likely continue to increase. we saw the jump over 9% at the end of covid lockdowns. numbers coming through the moment are the 1% month on month, better than expectations. a preliminary reading for july.

a contraction of 1.8%. better than expected. calling back losses from the previous reading. again of 1% month on month is much less than the prior reading but production is expected to increase slowly if supply chain constraints offer some support but japan has inflationary pressures and the continued spread of covid. kathleen: it looks like a pretty good run today for japan. look at retail sales. month on month up 0.8%, more than the decline in june and eating the forecast.

when the governor was in jackson hole he commented at the end of the day and said while other countries are raising rates, we have to remain easy and see wages rising and that consumer spending will help so he hopes to eventually get to the 2% target. plenty more to come on daybreak asia. this is bloomberg. ♪ how will your business adapt to change? you could hire an office full of peyton mannings. what's up, peyton? good morning, peyton. hold for peyton. they'd huddle.... welcome to the peytonverse. such a visionary. game plan... you go. no, you go! and call audibles... double our investment in omaha! omaha! omaha! omaha! or you could use workday. omaha. the finance, hr and planning system

the weight -- recent weakness. the central banks are taking into account currency moves and maybe trying to lean against it. korea's of that means the outlook is for higher interest rates. china, it's going to be really interesting, the economy is weak at the moment of giving covid lockdowns and the property sector, we are seeing them try to fight that and also fiscal policy stimulus, but also that wide interest rate, spiking at the moment. it will be interesting to see how the authorities counteract that. haidi: if we go down that road, what does that mean for investors? steve: the bottom line for us is that china is a different stage

get a third consecutive term. he change the constitution following the last party congress in 2018. essentially making him later in perpetuity. -- leader in perpetuity. the question is who is going to fill out the roster below him in the standing committee, three members, two of them have surpassed the mandatory retirement age of 68. xi jinping is 69, it does not apply to him. he has announced he will not stand again for premier. three of the seven, which includes xi will be replaced most likely. the jockeying for position and all that is going to be taking place behind the scenes. we really want to know if some of the pressures on the chinese economy, now that xi will likely

secure the third term, will some of the pressures he initiated on the chinese economy, whether it is the crackdown, on energy, the property sector, the tech platforms or the overarching covid zero policies, will start easing now that he has secured that position that he so desperately wanted most likely will get. keep in mind, what we look at the crackdown on technology, you look at these numbers of youth unemployment, up to 20% of chinese age 16 to 24 are out of work. another 11 million new graduates are hitting the market this summer. that is a big societal pressures of all the mortgage boycotts, that is representative of his own policy. he has not societal pressure and covid zero, that applies to everybody in china. lots of issues, not to mention

inundated you get with numbers, data, you are getting manufacturing and nonmanufacturing out. june and july, four out of the five were already in contraction territory below 50. this is barely above it. the other one is an indication, new orders fell. and employment of that is in contraction, let's look at nonmanufacturing, you also have a specific employment gauge there. as you can see, the services sector, that is also contraction. talk about disinflation, the lack of demand, prices 47.4, second lowest level since the pandemic. we will see what august looks like, if the trajectory is a

from dashing indication. kathleen: thank you so much, david ingles, will have more on china's pmi outlook in a few minutes. will be speaking with alicia garcia herrero about what to expect. up next, the eu fills its gas shortage goal two months ahead of target. details ahead. this is bloomberg. ♪

that brought prices down in europe for a second straight day. they were down 20% on monday, that is after being up some 40% from prior weeks. that is why you get an odd looking chart. what is it about? it is about these gas storage tanks filling up ahead of schedule. there are now on track to be better than 80% by november. they are filling up other european countries like the u.k. do not have a great storage facility. they are not in as good a shape. in any event, this is a lot of progress, it was just over the weekend the european commission president sounded alarm bells and said they had to step in and do something. check out the bloomberg chart on energy prices in europe. electricity prices have soared tenfold.

gases soaring out of control, it has everything to do with the nord stream 1 pipeline, which russia says it is repairing again, that is raising concerns that the russians are using the pipeline and not gas as a weapon , causing europe to panic and speculate they are going to be cut off completely. that would be catastrophic for the region. haidi: oil futures as well, we are seeing a rebound in asia trading at the moment, still on track for the worst losing since 2020. let's look at how crude is trading as asia opens. they were founded a little bit and have been in the green. that does not reflect the huge pen down they had in new york and london, that is on the latest news out of iraq and libya having to do with violent

clashes. there was concern over the past 48 to 72 hours there that this would further tighten oil supply, now we've got iraq saying we don't think we've got a disruption, traders have reined their concerns. we also have lower liquidity, lower volumes of the adds to what were saying. let's look at the bigger picture for oil prices, both for nymex and brent. it's been a dramatic august, you know only have these supply concerns, you've gotten opec meeting the first week of september, they are likely to reduce oil output for the first time. haidi: now quick check of the latest business flash headlines. kathleen: u.s. shares tumbled, net income around 500

haidi: kathleen: this is >> daybreak asia. 30 minutes into the trading session for japan, korea and australia. we are red across the screens of what's really driving that is

moves we had the u.s. session overnights of wall street reacting to that economic data came through on consumer sentiment and job openings, setting the stage for another supersized hike from the fed. what has become clear is determining the outlook or direction of the market is getting harder than ever. economic signals are mixed. that makes it difficult to tell what central banks are going to do. industrial production numbers weakening in korea, japan a bit stronger, solid retail sales there, as well as china and the next hour we do get that pmi data. extremely low trading volumes in this month. let's -- the lowest for australia and japan, hong kong and korea in 17 years. china is not showing it because of its size, we had the lowest

in the last month for the past year. kathleen: that's something. let's get to vonnie quinn with first word headlines. alicia: the chinese communist party leadership congress will begin october 16, bringing present xi jinping to a third term in power. state media says it will be held october 9 to prepare for the congress. he is expected to extend his decade in power after listing the term limits in 2018. high energy prices are being worsened by russia limiting flows to the crucial gas pipelines. the presence is more needs to be done. -- eu president says more needs to be done. >> we need to save 2% of

energies of the second as we need to diversify away from russian fossil fuels to reliable , right minded sources. good news, we have reached now and average in the european union of 80% storage. >> sri lanka has announced newer forms -- new reforms. and an interim budget space it -- interim budget speech, they sent will be raised to 15%. he also -- the administration is looking to reach an agreement with an imf team that visited wednesday. pakistan anyone have launched $150 million in emergency funding. the government says more than 1000 people have been killed and nearly half a million forced into relief camps.

the prime minister says it is needed urgently. global news 24 hours a day, on-air and at bloomberg quicktake, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. on vonnie quinn, this is bloomberg. haidi: let's get the latest on the markets. mark, we are wrapping up what has been the most tumultuous month. what are we expecting going forward given the fed speakers carrying on from jackson hole, delivering that same message, commitment, the magnitude is unknown. mark: more of the same. how far will the s&p 500 fall in september. if you look over the past two decades, september has traditionally been the second-worst month for the s&p among all months of the year.

i don't know whether it is going to be too much different this where -- this time around. wait jay powell set up the meeting, and he's been endorsed by the fed speakers you been talking about, it suggests we have to be prepared for a large u.s. hike, probably 75 basis points. and more to come. plus traders will be looking for changes in the dot plots, there's a decent chance the median will go above 4%, which may not be fully priced into the market yet. the headwinds with equities for september will last right on through to the fred meeting -- fed meeting. kathleen: the st. louis fred president -- fed president was one of the first subsite get the accuray up to 4%. because markets, the sooner you get this done, have the pains of get inflation coming down means you can start building up again.

it is definitely going to potentially drag out for a long time. mark: not only that, i think what paul did last week was to reset people's thoughts about any chance of a lowering of rates. the fed wants people to get away from the idea that they can solve this inflation problem quickly. even if they do interest rate hikes, it does not to say inflation will suddenly get back to target range. it is going to take a long time. what they are trying to do now is prepare investors for the fact yes, we are going to continue to hike quickly and aggressively. we probably need to go to at least 4%, maybe more. but we get there, we probably need to stay at high levels for some time. we can think about lowering interest rates until we are very confident we are in the back of the inflation problem. kathleen: as i said, that may

take a while. that was at bloomberg's mliv strategist, mark cranfield. the economy faces pressure on multiple fronts this year, including power shortages, drought, on top of the property crisis and the covid outbreak. let's bring in alicia garcia herrero, it's great to see you again. just before we get into the pmi preview, i want to follow on cranfield. we are watching china, what do they mean? you play out and note today talk about the fed that the hawkish stance is bad news for china. i want to hit that as we head into the numbers that are so important. alicia: it is important. china needs to attract customers in the light of weakening, over

8% this year. the sentiment in china is very negative. the fear is not so much -- but that's not enough. it is all about unreported flows. in flows from nonresidents are essential. half of those are equity, the market is underwhelming. you have the bond market, you need a differential. furthermore, given the expectations for weaker. they can keep rates so low, let alone cut, which is what the economy needs. kathleen: talk about how badly

they need rate cuts. alicia: they need rate cuts badly because it was estimated the impact of covid, the contraction was about 2% of gdp this year, suggesting how much you need to do on the monetary side. however, this is very important, rate cuts may not be packed on the rest of the economy. there is an accredited track in china, the smaller banks are in trouble and bigger banks will not pass on liquidity. i think china needs to do some thing to keep cash, those that are lending mortgages, basically banking the economy work. kathleen: i'm so glad you raise the risk of a liquidity trap. that is the point where china is

up. when you look at the lack of demand, credit slowing so dramatically, it begs the question if loosening these lending huts is going to make a difference. alicia: there is where there shouldn't be, there's demand for those are desperate. there's not demand for those that can pay back their debt. it is a -- the problem is that the larger banks, their clients -- the banks that don't have liquidity have the worst clients of the real estate developers, it is a tricky thing. if china is just on some form of -- china is doing, it is allowing china corporations to

keep guarantees for developers to issue debt or get loans. it is not the central bank, it is all about -- that is the link between the liquidity trap in china. we don't have bad creditors out there which need liquidity, they don't think the growth expectations needed. when it comes to the chinese economy, if we are assuming the new normal is going to be lower and productive jet for china, how easy is a transition going to be to the various sectors of the economy? it is not going to be easy. the chinese lockdowns, it is the

only country that has gone through the real estate bubble, and climate change, plus zero covid policy. let alone geopolitical risks. it is all about in my view, lifting some these constraints. that is where china needs to do something and let the economy recover from the shock. the bursting of the bubble will last years. we know that from other countries's experience including japan. you have a decade there. sobering thoughts as always, the chief asia-pacific economist at natixis. more to come on daybreak: asia.

this is bloomberg. ♪

haidi: covid zero, oil prices, all this hurting the bottom line when it comes to the chinese big three state run airlines. record losing streak, none of this should be surprising.

>> really not surprising. all three airlines in total combined losses, we are on track for the third year of net losses. it is because of the on-again off-again covid restrictions, those airlines are hit especially hard by the lockdowns in hotspots including hainan and tibet. it is a different situation, in china, there are not enough passengers, globally there is not enough capacity to carry all the passengers. >> even within the property sector, there are always those a little more resilient. vanke is one of the biggest players. what do we have for them versus country gardens? >> this is the kind of winner take all situation when it comes

to the china property crisis. it is the nation's second largest developer. it is cash-rich, it was able to borrow very cheaply onshore. there is ample liquidity going on in onshore market and not enough borrowers out there. they've taken advantage of that cheap borrowing. then country garden, was suffering from the whole rising interest rate and they saw a 96% drop in profits what was reported yesterday. >> why do were big beat, why are shares not -- baidu earnings were a big beat, why are shares not reacting? >> baidu is the last of the

companies to report results, but i think it is still concern for investors because the covid lockdown is still firmly in place. overall from this earnings season, china's tech companies reported better than feared earnings. i think a key concern is the outlook is still very cloudy for the whole sector right now because of the covid zero policy. kathleen: that is part asia stocks managing editor. now a preview of the china open to date, let's bring in china's -- bloomberg's china correspondent. what is the big force as we get ready for this trading day to begin? >> a lot to watch out for. we do have those pmi's duet 9:30. -- do at 9:30.

we also have that trading for five straight days, yields up yesterday at 4:30, that is the official close of trading onshore. that was a stronger move in the currency, that tends to happen when the state makes it easier for the pboc to get a stronger fix the following day. let's see if it is using it to protect the currency from weakening too quickly. overseas, the stronger dollar is make that difficult. a lot more in terms of earnings, let's see if it reacts to the news that berkshire hathaway is selling that state after all. haidi: and the slightly more medium-term, we finally have a date for the party congress, do we know how chinese equities

trade around these big political events? >> this year is a big one, october 16, that is an easy one for me to remember, it is my birthday. i watched a day for traders, it is not the event itself, it is what will happen after. everyone you talk to around china and chinese markets says we are waiting to see what happens, will xi jinping on covid zero after the big congress? your previous test was saying china need something to rescue the economy. the expectation is that will happen after this congress. the second half of october and november is when people are expecting something to change, some kind of pivot. let's see if that happens. kathleen: it's been a pretty shocking performance and global stocks. there has been some back --

bounce around asia, has been terrible, especially market reactions to the big tech names. >> if you look at the final trading day of the month, we did see -- i don't know if you have the chart on hand there -- yesterday was the highest proportion of short in hong kong . almost 30%. that makes for more difficult september, its rating a compelling chart. a lot of that has to do with the tech space, the been really short the sectors of morgan stanley warning of short there. when it comes to earnings, we know the tech sector is slowing down, baidu slowing -- scaring investors with a slowdown in revenue growth. what will the future look like

for these companies? can they still generate earnings growth? the answer is yes, the danger is you will get caught on the wrong side if you pile up on the short bets. that is the theme for september and the tech space in china. haidi: sophie, always great to have you with us. china markets correspondent, a very busy last trading day of august. be sure to tune into bloomberg radio to get newsmakers in the in-depth analysis from our great team there. you can listen through the app, bloombergradio.com.
