6:17 pm
the lows and i think it's because of the consumers. they still have a lot of money in banks and the test will be when the money runs out maybe next year, by then i am hoping the fed will have signaled a pause before that and might be on the way to lowering rates so as long as the consumer stays strong and remains confident, the market will go up. shery: does the recent shopping season give you confidence? next year we could see more covid stimulus. >> it's about the consumer. the money we received with stimulus and the money sitting in bank accounts that has not been spent. the middle of next year may be we will test that a little when the money runs out but until then the trend will be on the upside. i also expect inflation will look better and come down faster

6:24 pm
but that has reversed. you can see the discount. the firm issued a lot of shares that has not redeemed. so it is being sued by a hedge fund and filed a complaint to a court to get information from the court to investigate mismanagement, conflicts of interests. it wants to use this to push grayscale to try to ease the discount you just saw between the share price by lowering fees and resuming redemptions. shery: tell us about the fallout of ftx implosion now spreading. >> until recently the world of decentralized finance has been immune to what we saw from ftx because of the structure of the

6:33 pm
you are seeing it across the world, labor is still relatively tight. >> the talent war is not over? >> the talent war, i think there are headwinds, given changing economic conditions but the competition is still very strong. how that evolves is unknown. certainly if we have a slower economic environment, it will have an effect. you can see across all industries that people are thinking about their headcount size and making pruning cuts just because they feel more margin pressure coming. financial services is not immune to that end we all have to make the right decisions for our organizations and shareholders. sonali: headcount or otherwise, as you think about this environment, do you think goldman is going to have to pursue another round of cost cuts? if that were the case, where? >> we always look at the environment and size the firm. if the environment gets tougher, we will make decisions to size

6:45 pm
once that dollar turn comes in, correspondingly the dollar and the bought -- should see some of the largest moves. it is in this phase provide we are seeing very low fiction in the mark, the short-term views about where the dollar is going to go. the response should be to play that, looking at currencies which have the highest sensitivity. in the asia space at least, that is clearly some centered around the korean yuan. haidi: the speed of the yuan rally has been interesting, which tells us that the sentiment lifted when it comes to reopening is broad-based. because it is not just equities, but also currency. now that we have gone past seven, is there going to be more
6:46 pm
resistance, depending on how quickly reopening actually happens? >> that is a good question. it is not just tying -- not just china, but across all assets we see cross asset correlation with risk. particularly with china, the one thing we are starting to see is that the market sensitivity as well to the headlines of this incremental reopening is actually volatile as well. some days, this tends to spark huge moves and other days, mysteriously, you can suppressed moves. one thing is that initially in the early phase, earlier last week, markets were basically bearish. quickly we are starting to see more optimism priced in. rightly so. increasingly, the question should be number one, how fundamental is this to the economic outlook in china? right now it seems they are
6:47 pm
laying groundwork as opposed to doing anything material that will allow peter confidence, consumer confidence and people movement. the second thing is how quickly will the barbie raised for additional positivity? as we get more headlines, we might start to see the market get more desensitized and start to think more about the actual path of reopening, which we still hold is something to focus on in q1. >> are you factoring in policymaker's comfort with the level of the you? were talking about how china trade with develop -- would disappoint november numbers. perhaps a weaker yuan is the way to go. >> that is partially right. so far, there is this assumption that the weaker currency, particularly against the trade-weighted basket, is going to be beneficial to exports in an environment where globally, x its amongst east asian nations
6:48 pm
is coming down quickly. when we look at this stage, we have seen lots of intervention and management by the pboc against the dollar, but against a broad trade-weighted basket which ultimately matters for the trade numbers, the export and import numbers, we have not seen authorities, nor the pboc, actually voice that much displeasure. when it comes to the trade angle, the authorities have been pretty laissez-faire, pretty hands off. i do not think there is any reason for that to change in the coming months. in china, the main concern is covid zero. the transition in leadership. those policies. i think trade has been relegated to something they would be happy to let the market work its actions over. shery: we have the reserve bank
6:49 pm
of india today. where does the indian rupee go from here? >> our expectations were a little more dovish. we are expecting 25 basis point hike. we are thinking -- i think the debate over 25 or 35 is academic. ultimately, this is going to be one of the last hikes in this part of the cycle, assuming inflation manages to stabilize. particularly with food prices looking a little less volatile from here. overall, that should provide short-term -- additional rate hikes should provide short-term relief for the rupee because the kerry angle in asia is attractive. that said, over the next year we are expecting the rupee to underperform because of persistent trade deficit and the

so far, they have not backed down. today they might announce 10 new measures to complement the 20 they announced in november. the easing measures. i think they are serious. i do not think they are going to stop. it's the -- i will never see again in our lives and now it is back at 0.8. i do not think it should be below one because prior to 2019, and this is an index that goes back to the 1960's, it never got below one. in between .8 and one is another 20%. i think that is where it is going. haidi: we continue to look at data points. we are expecting to see exports and imports seeing weakness from demand-side issues. the economic fundamentals of china, even if we get past covid zero, are challenging at best. where do you see the
7:05 pm
opportunities that can withstand the amount of resilience required to get through some of these other challenges from the properties sector to the demographics we are looking at? >> all of those are valid points. i am not making the case for structural growth, i am making the case for value. below one times for assets of the quality that the members of the hang seng index have is too low. there's a lot of stocks in hong kong where the price-earnings ratio is numerically lower than the dividend yield. basically all of the banks, the telcos and energy companies you are looking at, pes of between five to 10 times, but dividends of 10 to 15 -- 10% to 15%. peter lynch used to say that if you could ever find a company whose price-earnings ratio was lower than its dividend yield,
7:06 pm
you should buy because it should not be that way. haidi: yet you are now bullish on commodities despite the fact you are bullish on china. why the discrepancy? >> once again because the china call is a value call. it is not predicated on the economy getting better. it is predicated on the fact that they have decided to open up in this is an incredibly deep discount. commodities, we simply see a lot of supply of commodities around the world. not so much we think the economy is going into recession. as a matter of fact, our models suggest only 35% chance of recession in the united states next year. but we are also looking for .05% gdp growth. if you combine that relatively, there will not be tons of demand
7:07 pm
with gdp growth like that. at the same time, we see a vigorous supply response in the energy commodities in particular. that is why we do not feel very excited. shery: we have heard plenty of gloomy outlooks when it comes to the u.s. from banking ceos today. what are your expectations of how asia will perform relative to the u.s. economy and the opportunities that represents? >> i think this could be a year of outperformance for asia. 2023. because the dollar is clearly broken down. we see that is continuing. the european central bank is going to raise rates more than the fed next year. we think the backdrop for the european economy will be more conveyors -- more conducive in part because of the lower energy

prices i've mentioned. two thirds of the dollar index is the euro and if the dollar goes down, that traditionally has been good for asian markets, which are with a couple of exceptions like india, very cheap. as long as the u.s. does not go into some terrible recession, even just a mild recession, that is enough for the s&p to go sideways. and then people look for greener pastures elsewhere. haidi: when it comes to recession risk of my want to get your views on our question of the day. which assets are underpricing the risk of a even a mild risk or risk of mild recession? you can see that pricing in the inverted treasuries curve and a bit in the 7% decline from the cyclical peak for the u.s. dollar. is there more vulnerability when it comes to risk assets?
7:09 pm
>> the s&p is down 17% so far this year and the nasdaq is down 30%. i do not think stocks have mispriced what is going on. i think those reflect mild recession, which i do not think we are going to get. down 30% for the nasdaq in my mind reflects mild recession. we priced it in already and bonds have fallen relative to their history by an even greater magnitude. i do not think there is a lot out there that is mispriced. the market has been fairly efficient and a see more things that are undervalued than overvalued. haidi: mark matthews, julius baer with his calls on the markets. let's get to su keenan with headlines. su: we started with the fallout from sam bankman-fried's crypto empire, continuing to unfold after a hedge fund declared to default on $36 million of loans.

7:24 pm
raphael warnock did win with 37,000 additional let's one month ago, tonight we do this over again. if it is too close, it will either go late or will end in a recount. >> what does this potentially tell as ahead of the bigger races we have going into the future? does that 51st seat meaningfully increase the majority? does it have implications in the senate? >> it does have specific implications. if you are a democrat and you get this extra seat, it means a couple of things. number one, you don't have to worry about joe manchin going against the grain and were wiring you to vote with republicans. it would also give democrats control of the committees, as opposed to a power-sharing arrangement like they have now with republicans. that greases the skids on
7:25 pm
legislation and would help democrats get judges approved, and other nominations. this is the senate we are talking about, so that extra layer would be great breathing room for democrats if they can keep the seat. if it goes to herschel walker, we have a 50-50 split and kamala harris will spend more time breaking ties. >> how will this race affect to the influence of former president trump going into 2024? >> he could use a win now. he was being called a three-time loser by ken griffin during the general election. he essentially handpicked herschel walker for the job, but he has not been in georgia, he has not been on stage with walker, as there has been a shadow effect with donald trump not exactly helping candidates win. especially in georgia where he

i think this trade number will continue to extend performance over the next few months until may be middle of next year. then we will find your on your comparisons to the exported number back to. >> how trade dependent is the overall chinese economy still? can the reopening we are expecting help offset some of that weakness? >> that is exactly why chinese leaders starting to be more concerned. they know that they cannot count on external demand and to the situation with the global economy becoming more uncertain. they are willing to reopen and allow more social activities in order to support domestic demand. of course, we do see reopening is a bumpy ride.

case numbers increase. but we expect because of the fourth quarter mixed year gdp will probably be going back to -- 5.4%. i believe the chinese government will also set a relatively high growth target at 5% to 5.5%. we know that -- overall growth. even with reopening, the situational improvement will be gradual. haidi: when you look at trade volumes that are basically flatlined, as you can see here and through the shanghai port data, another indicator to look at. all of this is happening despite the fact we have had for a prolonged period a weaker currency. we are now dealing with a much stronger chinese yuan. does that just created another hurdle to improvement on the

7:47 pm
the stubborn bond market and credit market are both victims of such momentous shift in risk appetites. you guys are talking about how the reopening has been driving a big rally in chinese stocks. the csi 300 has rallied 13% from an october low. investors really couldn't sell bonds fast enough to buy equities. that is a story about risk appetite rather than credit risk. shery: what can we look for in terms of companies looking to issue bonds? >> we are seeing a noticeable impact in the local bond financing market. for companies that have already pulled about $8.5 billion of their plans to sell local bonds in november alone. i think that was five times the number a year ago. this is deftly not great for corporate bond skills, but at
7:48 pm
the same time, those companies that are able to issue aaa rated bonds can actually get anchor financing and do other type of finances. that really adds to the credit stress for onshore markets in the onshore borrowing cost, despite the recent rally, is still much lower than offshore markets. >> bloomberg's asia stocks editor with her take on the chinese markets. we look forward to the open. indonesia has passed a controversial law banning sex outside marriage and restricting lgbtq rights. we flesh out the key points next. this is bloomberg. ♪
