tv Bloomberg Daybreak Asia Bloomberg October 9, 2022 7:00pm-9:00pm EDT
7:01 pm
daybreak asia coming to you live from new york, city and hong kong. haidi: they are just coming online and the chinese party congress, headlines going into the week. stronger u.s. jobs taylor deep -- data heightening concerned of tightening on china. of course china's leaders are holding their final gathering for the crucial party congress set to hand xi jinping a third residential term. plus we hear the impact on yen as supply chains snarl corporate japan. annabelle: one market in asia online -- us trail yeah, bit of a decline, down .2%.
7:02 pm
futures had been indicating a drop of 1.6%, so we will see how we go. in terms of the overall direction of trade today, it is looking like a risk off session. given the moves we had in wall street, a reasonable follow-through for what came through in the jobs numbers. we did see the labor market still looking tight and the supply of new workers coming into the economy not enough to cool the growth there. in terms of other markets we are keeping an eye on, we've got to offline, we've still got new zealand trading down 1%. currencies, keeping an eye on the japanese yen. very close to the level of intervention at the end of september. 14590 is the one to watch. the yuan looking flat, but still a big day for chinese markets.
7:03 pm
they are back online a couple of hours from now. kathleen: that strong jobs report pushing the dollar higher yet another reason to be watching dollar-yen so closely today. for the stock market, the s&p 500 down nearly 3%. 95% of the companies on the index lower. the nasdaq down 3.8%. the momentum to the downside, down about a full percent five minutes ago but double the amount of decline we saw in the s&p futures and nasdaq futures an hour ago. the bond market up about 3.88%, close to 3.9. you can see we've got the red arrow pointing to pressure to push higher again. nymex crude after hitting nearly $93 a barrel, the 15% increase
7:04 pm
in nymex crude last week. just a little pullback. a lot of pressure now as we look at the opec-plus output cuts. we just had a guest in the last hour that likes energy stocks very much right now. haidi: let's get more with our chief rates correspondent for asia. is this a time of consolidating expectation for investors as we get the labor market numbers? what is the relevance of cpi in the near term? >> there is still some relevance but that jobs report on friday really was an almost certain death sentence for up ms. him that the fed is going to be pivoting anytime soon to slow the pace of rate hikes.
7:05 pm
there's been a lot of focus on the idea of what if they do, how long do they keep rates at a high level? we want to push back from fed speak on the idea they will be cutting rates next year. the jobs numbers the focus back on the likelihood the fed hikes 75 basis point in november and potentially follows up with another 75 in december because when you got an unemployment rate at 3.5%, why are you going to slow down in rate hikes? any softening in cpi is almost encouragement to the fed because the rate hikes are working on the inflation front, not hurting the job market too much. the job market remains a risk. that sets up a rough outlook for assets which way cpi goes.
7:06 pm
if cpi was a surprise to the upside, that would cause a lot of turmoil even if it is priced to the downside. i would expect fed officials to come out and reinforce their determination. kathleen: the market hasn't even begun to come to terms with the fact more than one fed official is -- i said we are not going to cut rates. maybe until the end of next year. it means they are probably going to have a foundation for the dollar even if it doesn't go higher. this is causing a lot of concern and we are going to be here at the world bank meeting that this strong dollar and the potential to move higher is roiling a lot of markets. this is a big deal. it is tough. garfield: it certainly is and that's one of the things a lot of investors are watching. a lot of economies spent decades building up for chests and
7:07 pm
reforming their economies and decision-making processes so they don't respond with a sort of restrictive, trying to fix things, trying to fight the market when they do have capital outflows, but just trying to manage things appropriately. a lot of economies have traveled reasonably well, but as you said, with the full realization of how aggressive the fed will be and how likely to keep rates higher, those stresses will keep living and the question is which emerging markets start to crack and how much contagion might there be? i'm looking mostly at european and latin american markets among the most vulnerable, but some of
7:08 pm
those start to give way and there is a sense even asian markets such as indonesia, malaysia, india who have been a good job of shoring up their situation, they might face some fresh, severe pressure on the currency by association. kathleen: let's move on to chinese president xi jinping, opening the party meeting. covid cases nationwide are mounting and we see new evidence of slowing economic act of any. stephen engle joins us to tell us what's happening behind closed doors as this whole thing gets going. stephen: i wish i knew. the communist party is a very opaque organization. it's fairly predictable. with its plenum held with the
7:09 pm
big speech from xi jinping where he will likely outline some of his priorities and the parties priorities. what is happening this week is essentially all the backroom negotiations and fine tuning of policy to unveil at the party congress and then they will be legally formalized at the session of parliament not until march. this is behind closed doors and there are lots of challenges in the chinese economy and chinese society, with covid zero being the pressure weighing on all kinds of growth, manufacturing, tourism and the like. there is also the social stability angle we can't ignore. covid zero has had a dampening effect on sentiment and a prolonged pressure on the chinese economy. he has to balance expectations.
7:10 pm
you heard about this lying flat mentality. there's talk in chinese social media that it's no longer lying flat. it's let it rot. people just not engaging whatsoever. that's a big stress for xi jinping who is going to be maneuvering for an unprecedented third term as general secretary and president. lots of challenges. look at these scenes from shanghai. that is a big threat to the chinese economy. haidi: so much of that social malays has come as a result of covid zero and the impact on mental health. we know the discontent there. how do we expect that to be addressed, given that the shadow cast over everything? stephen: no doubt xi jinping is
7:11 pm
going to trumpet the successes of covid zero. they are trying to find the right euphemism to balance the expectation and not necessarily pick them off. even the former editor-in-chief of the global times who is often times a staunch supporter, he has come out and said static management as it is called is becoming intolerable in society. so we will be trying to see if there's going to be any relaxation. society as a whole, we are starting to get some of this frustration seeping into social media even though it's a highly censored social media and it is controlled by the party. bmi fell in september. we were expecting 55 and it was 55 in august.
7:12 pm
tourism, we just came out of a weeklong national day holiday. tourism and spending during the weeklong holiday is way down and it is not just in isolation. all of these holidays, tourism is down. these are some serious pressures and covid is starting to flareup. what's going to be the policy response? none of these binance polities, all three of these big cities who have covid zero lockdowns in september which dampened consumer sentiment, none of these units pallet he want to see a big flareup during the party congress. it might get tighter before it relaxes. far away from beijing but eight
7:13 pm
cases in beijing on saturday and several different transmission chains being detected. so you are going to start seeing things tighten up closer to the party congress rather than relapse. haidi: let's get you to vonnie quinn with the first word headlines. vonnie: china is criticizing the expanded restriction on its access to semiconductor technology. the spokesperson called them unfair and said they will hurt the interest of u.s. companies. she believes the world economy. recent measures speak to developing military capabilities. south korea says it will boost military cooperation with the u.s. and japan. this comes after north korea testfired two more missiles on sunday. it violates a u.s. that she went to council resolution.
7:14 pm
russian president vladimir putin is blaming ukraine for the attacks on the key bridge linking at -- linking crimea to russia. putin blamed the ukrainians -- he has not officially claimed responsibility though said the explosion was a postage stamp. u.k. prime minister to speak to the conservative party. a poorly received tax cut at a fractious conference has trust fighting to regain control of the party. 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: still ahead, a look at the risks for global commerce
7:15 pm
7:18 pm
collision of some kind or other and we just have to manage that collision carefully. i think the sooner we start managing for some slowdown, the better we are going to do. i think chairman powell was way late to come to that recognition but now has that recognition and he should be supported in that. >> we will get inflation back down. i'm confident of that. it doesn't mean prices are going to revert to the old prices. 0 former -- haidi: former u.s. treasurer larry summers. our next guest is looking at bonds as alternatives. it's the division director of look korea wealth management. when you look at the jobs numbers from friday and we have
7:19 pm
cpi, you wonder if it's going to change what the fed is committed to doing, does it heal like they are finally getting it? >> different markets are taking into account what we are seeing. i think there is a hope that they wish we will see the peak of these rate rises soon but it told chair -- until the narrative starts changing, it's way too early to anticipate. the market has slowed considerably in the last number of weeks and we had the bare rally. at the end of the day, we have to wait for indications from the that and other central banks around the world before we can be more confident. haidi: in the absence of a meaningful policy change, how are you maneuvering in these markets? a lot of people still like energy. you are looking at alternative asset classes altogether. martin: we have been checking out our portfolios for some
7:20 pm
time, shifting more toward sovereign debt and certainly trying to hedge portfolios away as best we can. there's no doubt that there is ongoing downward momentum and that is going to continue. we doubled our allocation to that class and that includes things like private equity, hedge funds, long-duration infrastructure. it basically last right through this cycle. that's not to say we haven't stopped looking at the big picture. it is all around market timing and that's a particular component of managing that. kathleen: after opec-plus made its big cut in output, you liked
7:21 pm
energy stocks. do you like them better now? martin: we have to be more specific. i think we are -- when you think of what is happening around climate change, clearly the transition material is going to be gas. to some extent, there's been a lot around the decision for opec plus and we have to take that into account. we've seen the oil price come off quite a bit from those heady levels back toward the 80's. that's going to work its way into inflation numbers as well. despite that announcement, we haven't seen any significant move in the energy complex. i think that's worth noting as well. haidi: when you talk about bonds
7:22 pm
and credit, what are the more appealing types of bonds to you or bond markets? martin: we've shifted away from credit toward sovereign debt. we think that's a better way to think about assets at this time. particularly in a growth slowdown scenario. investors ourselves, we see bond yields rising higher than anticipated. haidi: what is the biggest risk investors are not comprehending at the moment? there's almost a view that there is perhaps a policy mistake. are there things we could see
7:23 pm
sooner than expected? martin: i think it's more in the hope and wish category. i think there's been more than enough from central banks on what they are setting out to do, particular when investors see inflation rates are high as they are. australia seems slightly better than other economies. but i think investors totally understand that inflation at those levels that are well and truly above where central banks manage inflation, there's enough -- there's a lot more work to be done in terms of rate rises. i think it's going to come out of investors expectations. haidi: what are you seeing in terms of the arbitrage trade? martin: what was interesting last week was the bank that cut but only cut by 25 when the market was expecting 50. that's probably a combination of
7:24 pm
wanting to be sure the central bank is not pushing the economy too hard but still trying to fight inflation as well, so that balancing act is important. it will be interesting to see how the central bank is getting more active in markets, specifically central bank currencies. the depreciation of their own currency, or at least slow down momentum of depreciation. we see central banks becoming more active at this time. kathleen: when i'm looking at the world, what i'm trying to figure out where to put money, do you think it's going to last? how long is it going to be an issue if i'm trying to figure out what to do with my money or someone else's? martin: currencies are very important part of the overall scheme of what we are looking
7:25 pm
at. when you get these big currency moves, that's where issues and valuations start to rise. they are painful in the short-term, no doubt about that. it's more about moving through the cycle and positioning clients right through this year. kathleen: the division director of mccoury wealth management. you can get a round up of the stories you need to know to get your day going in today's edition of a break. terminal subscribers go to the bigo. you can customize your settings so you only get news on the industries and assets you care about. this is bloomberg. ♪

7:34 pm
u.s. move to expand access to semi conductor technology, saying it will harm supply chains in the world economy. president reitan announced this on friday. the leadership has some other matters to contend with in the next week or so, but what has been the reaction from beijing? >> i think there has not been a great deal of surprise. this was well previewed. there have been many reports about the administration. there's been a lot of restriction on buying semiconductors. this is a step up from that that particularly targets ai and supercomputing chips and also tightens rules around kind of equipment china is allowed to buy. china's responses this is going to be bad for an industry
7:35 pm
already suffering from higher rates in slow growth around the world. china for these restrictions a couple of years ago used to be the world biggest market of semiconductors. kathleen: what do you expect to happen next? is this going to summer on the back burner? do you think the chinese are going to have to come out with something more aggressive than they have so far? john: i think the chinese strategy is to go out and produce their own chips. whether they are able to have any success in that initiative is still in question. most recently, they've added a number of high-ranking officials either in the government side of the semi conductor push as well as taken into custody on allegations of corruption and bribery.
7:36 pm
there are questions about whether or not china is going to have any success building these more advanced chips and the u.s. initiative is not going to be changing anytime soon. even if another administration comes into a power, they are going to try to stop the flow of technology into china. kathleen: talks around the u.k. continued into the weekend as the group met in singapore to discuss new cooperation and digital initiatives. global uncertainty is cited as a major risk to trade and investment flow. our next guest was part of those discussions, canada's international trade minister. sounds like you had a busy weekend and your talks continue. in terms of what canada is trying to achieve right now, you
7:37 pm
are having bilateral meetings, you've got a free-trade agreement you are working on. what is this going to do with -- due for canada's economy? mary: thank you so much. it's terrific to talk to you in new york. i've been here over the last number of days with my partners and let me just start there. for canada, this agreement really does work for canada. we are see increased trade and investment into this region both ways and what was really terrific was to see the growth in this region into these companies outpaced those and it is an agreement that really works. i would point out the
7:38 pm
progressive element is what canada fought for when we joined this agreement. they are additions canada felt strongly about when we entered into the agreement and it's a high quality agreement precisely because of those additions because who doesn't think about the global economy without thinking about how we can transition into a greener, more digital economy benefiting our people and entrepreneurs who wish to get into markets like this one in this region? kathleen: the u.k. session is important. how important is it to this whole trade arrangement? mary: this is the first session request. we've always said the high
7:39 pm
quality of this agreement, the gold standard agreement that it is, we encourage any aspiring economy to meet those high standards and that they would be welcome. we are very much working with the united kingdom on this agreement and japan is the chair for the u.k. process and they are taking a leadership role as part of it. we are absolutely working with the united kingdom on this. haidi: what about when it comes to china and taiwan and their involvement? mary: we have always said this agreement is a high standard agreement. but this was also the first session and the first session is with the united kingdom. we want to get it right and so we are taking our time to make
7:40 pm
sure we do get it right. haidi: there's a big push into southeast asia. why they focus on this region? particular where do you see the growth opportunities for canada within southeast asia? mary: terrific question. i'm canada's trade minister and the mandate i have from my prime minister and my government is to diversify and grow opportunities for market access around the world. canada is the only g7 country that has a trade agreement with every other country. this region is dynamic, it is growing, we are ready, we are at the negotiating table as well as financial negotiations with indonesia, which is where i'm headed this afternoon. making sure we diversify and
7:41 pm
grow into this market and region is extremely important. canada is a trading company. as a trading country, trading opportunities into this region is important. i announced a canadian trade gateway and that will work -- i want people to see this as canada's front door to the region. i want to see the region have a place to learn more about canada . how can we collaborate so the trade is both ways benefiting the region but also canada. kathleen: i'm wondering about progress made with the minimum corporate tax of 15%. i know that is important to canada. how's that going? mary: we are working very hard
7:42 pm
and focused on this important multilateral agreement. we are at the table, working hard and hoping what we will get at is a conclusion of this multilateral agreement with the partners, including the u.s. haidi: i'm wondering how important multilateral approaches in asia? that this multipronged strategy could counter china's wake across the region. is that significant in terms of avoiding a situation we see multiple trading partners being put it against each other? mary: for canada, it's really important we continue to diversify and provide opportunities for our exporters. we often talk about creating an
7:43 pm
economy that works for all. helping businesses, whether they are women entrepreneurs, small to medium-size enterprises to get the benefits of trade and make sure the workers get the benefits of trade means diversifying and looking into markets that are high-growth markets. we are talking about opportunities in the digital economy. we are increasingly finding partners to grow the green economy and diversify and create those in canada but doing it in the region. whether it's here or in singapore or many partners, we have seen the growth in trade with our partners here and we are looking to do more of that. haidi: canada's international

7:48 pm
handle but there are expectations we could see the testing of the intervention levels for the yen. that intervention is expected, the appetite to resist intervention, i should say could be tested this week. >> absolutely. if you talk about intervention, it lasted about a week in terms of its effect. as we continue to trade dollar yen heading into that critical 14519 level, incidental risks are on the table. investors will be keeping their eye on the path. kathleen: let's move to a japanese electronics giant saying they may be forced to raise prices because of chronic supply chain deals.

we also got an update on the company's move to reduce the company's environmental impacts. >> we are steadily making progress to renewable electricity for next year. it is all on track. we have people around the world can share -- and understand our contribution to mitigating this >> problem. when you talk up a greater focus on climate change, how would you see the shifting consumer pattern generally? >> to help relieve the climate change problem, we believe we have to put a lot more effort into making products more recyclable and easy to use. we want our customers to use our products much longer than they did in the past. if we achieve that, i believe we can help people deal with climate change. the eco-printer does not use

i am kathleen hays. >> asian stocks are under pressure with strong jobs data supporting expectations of further aggressive fed hikes. china's markets are returning after the golden week holiday. they are holding their final gathering. they are said to have xi jinping a third term as president. and beijing saying this will hurt the budget and the world economy. >> heidi, kathleen, australia is the major market in new trading. this is very broad-based this morning. we are watching the biggest losses with the ones essentially advises here.
8:01 pm
u.s. futures also lower, that should indicate that because of that big selloff with the wall street, this is the reaction to the jobs data that came through. also, what we are seeing in terms of the supply workers, not enough to look at the wage growth there. certainly a lot of recessionary risk. this is also bank on sectors that are a little bit more sensitive when we do have a rising rate environment. also looking at what we are seeing in the bond space. let's look at what we are seeing in terms of yields, the aussie and the 10 year and also the kiwi tenure. both of those are moving higher this morning.
8:02 pm
8:03 pm
does that deliver another got punch? i was talking about charlie brown and the football. certainly the football is back in their hands for those who are up with that cartoon. there is very little in those jobs that would encourage any of the fed presidents out there. markets still have some pretty strong expectations that inflation has peaked and therefore at some stage, a bit of hawkishness. but until labor market shows a serious sign that it is weakening, there waiting for an easier set up here.
8:04 pm
that is the key thing. they want to see sustained data going down. and something where inflation goes from 8.3 or so down to even under 8%. is that going to be enough? >> i think it will go a lot lower than that. let's move onto what is going on in china. xi jinping will open up the commas party's final meeting before sunday. our chief north asian correspondent stephen engle joins us to look at this backdrop and give us some sense of how all these things may or may not affect what will be happening this week and next. >> essentially what they are
8:05 pm
doing behind closed doors is getting other ducks in a row and fine-tuning xi jinping's big speech on sunday, coming up. but also, getting some policy, crossing these -- crossing the t's and dotting the i's. it is just getting the aussie right. that is the big question. what will xi jinping likely say on sunday? he will most likely trump at the successes of covid zero even though it has taken a severe toll on the economy. what he says on taiwan will be significant. what he says on the property slowdown will be significant. this week will be a lot of prognostication and expectations for what he might say and that is being done behind closed doors today and tomorrow and the rest of this week by essential community -- by essential -- by
8:06 pm
a central committee. >> covid zero looms large. how do we expect that to be addressed? >> he will be trumpeting the successes of that. even though patients is starting to wear thin in society. he has been fairly strident. static management, that is the monism for covid zero essentially becoming intolerable in society. we have seen that being reflected in the economic data of late. the services pmi is the latest service numbers we got, all of this in other major cities in september. they really took its toll. especially the time that we usually get spending by
8:07 pm
consumers on the weeklong national day and holiday that has been completed. spending is down considerably again for another big holiday in china. they went into contraction, 49.5. that is well off those numbers. it is ridiculous for the, his is putting across china on covid zero. in outweighs the short-term negative impact on the economy. how long is short-term? covid zero policies to continue her static management continues on the national people's congress. that could be a further drag. 1600 cases worldwide. that is the most since september 2.
8:08 pm

8:45 pm
all of this after last year's trade growth was around 10%. it is a big shifter that is happening and i do mean one of the big drivers of the global economic recovery from the pandemic is the trade that is coming off quiet sharply. >> what is that going to be for global trade relationships? we are looking at canada's trade minister and you are pushing hard to get the -- get this off the ground. there are all kinds of trade agreements in asia broadly. is this going to -- is this slow down going to snow those kinds of measures down question mark is that going to make for global trade any further? >> in merchandised trade, there is a lot of conversation about fishermen, onshore, companies are looking at ways to cut costs and bring production home and away where customers are
