7:01 pm
>> you are watching daybreak asia, coming to you live from new york, sydney and hong kong. >> the top stories this hour, asians stocks -- agent stocks. we are live at jackson hole ahead of jay powell's speech. donald trump will surrender in atlanta later this hour under charges of expiring to overturn the 2020 election. leaders are gathering for a summit. we will talk about tackling and the quality in business. >> u.s. futures, stocks fell to session lows and closed around those levels with the nasdaq losing 2%.
7:02 pm
yields rose across the boards. we had investors trying to digest some labor market data. two-year yields finishing above the 5% level. all of this ahead of jackson hole. we are seeing oil reversing the marginal gain we saw in the new york session as investors try to digest a potential slow down. a little bit of a rebound in global supplies. right now, it is all about jackson hole. haidi: let's get back for the economic symposium. joining us from jackson hole is dr. frenkel: sanda:. -- jacob frenkel. the former chairman at. wonderful to have you with us. this is a beautiful backdrop. the point of a precarious point for policymakers as we get to this year's jackson hole.
7:03 pm
so different to where we were last year. what is the risk when it comes to potential policymaking mistakes as we enter this part of the economic cycle? dr. frenkel: thank you for having me. indeed, this year is very different than most a situation last year. when we spoke last year, we said inflation is still very high. interest rates, still very low. it was clear that the fed and the rest of the banking community would need to tighten. we are in a very different place. inflation has started to recede, interest rates have gone to where they should be or maybe there is still a little bit more to go in the u.s., but basically the objective is there. i think it is fair to say the doomsday forecast of a hard
7:04 pm
landing, a crash landing, have been refuted. the situation in this regard is better. on the other hand, there are so many new risks coming not necessarily from the monetary policy sphere. they are coming from the tension between china and the rest of the world. they are coming from the tension rising between ukraine and russia. they are coming from the situation of the financial sector in china in the banking community. they are coming from the fact that the world, in order to resume sustainable growth, cannot be completely detached from china so the effort should be to reduce the stress, to reduce the tension and steady as you go when it comes to the federal reserve. i think they have done a spectacularly good job. haidi: bloomberg economics sang when we hear from jay powell this year at jackson hole, it
7:05 pm
will be perhaps more orchestrating a soft landing in terms of the tone. you just mentioned the scale of global challenges -- economic, political, climate -- compared to other economies. is it possible for the fed to take that into account with their calculus with where they go from here? dr. frenkel: of course the fed takes into account all of the parts of the global economy but its primary role at the present time is to ensure -- we have had high inflation for too long. the tightening has started a little bit too late. now, while the fed is in the phase of reaffirming its credibility, reaffirming its leadership when it comes to stability, all other central banks are marching to the same
7:06 pm
tune. i look at the european central bank, the same story. they are tightening. they are making sure inflation is back within the target, below or at 2%. this is the main objective now. of course, it is not to the neglect of other objectives, but the concept today is that in order to achieve all other objectives and in order to help other policymakers using their instruments in the most efficient way, the fed needs to provide the environment of price stability and financial stability and this is exactly what they are doing now. shery: the latest data from the u.s., what does that tell you where the fed will go on the data dependency stance? dr. frenkel: i believe that the data dependency will continue to be an important guide but not in
7:07 pm
a mechanical way of saying, the numbers yesterday were so and so so we should change our policies accordingly. but looking forward, not backward. the data dependency is the expected data dependency. the fed wants to ensure it is on the right trajectory and if it sees from the front windshield, not the back mirror. if it sees in the front window that something is coming, this would be prevent and anticipate and react to. shery: remember back in 2015 when janet yellen had to take that into consideration, what sort of unexpected defense from the world's largest -- second largest economy would lead to those to reconsider geico dr. frenkel: of course, the fed is
7:08 pm
and will take into account international consequences of its activities and what is happening in the rest of the world. china is an important factor and today its financial sector is putting a lot of stress on the system. if you put together the housing situation in china and extraordinarily large debt in china, primarily debt that is off the balance sheet, those are the things that are of concern and everyone in the world is looking at it, including the federal reserve. we must ensure financial stability because that is key for a prosperous economy. shery: what does this mean for broader developing economies? we have seen in latin america some cutting rates given that their economies are slowing down. if you add the risk from china, not to mention the u.s. continues that path of higher
7:09 pm
for longer, what does it mean for the smaller, more vulnerable economies? dr. frenkel: i am glad you mentioned emerging economies in latin america because for years, the industrial countries were trying to preach and tell developing countries and emerging countries how to behave and they always were coming from behind. in this particular, in recent years, they have been ahead of the game. they have handled the financial stress in many ways better than the financial countries. the banking sector is stronger than what it used to be. in a way, it is now a two-way learning experience and the industrial countries can learn from the experience of the emerging economies. what i would say is humility is now also called for. we have gone through so many crises, many that came from the financial sector. in the last few years, they came
7:10 pm
from a completely different place. they came from health, the covid business, russia invasion into ukraine, they translated into food and energy. the business of the supply chain associated with china's situation. all of this together has had profound implications on each economy in the world but they all cannot be prevented by monetary policy. this is why, why humility is called for, but also an agenda item for the governments of the world to deal with a fiscal situation, structure challenges and, yes, to deal with the climate which has much more profound long-term implications on all of us. haidi: i wanted to end the
7:11 pm
conversation by getting your views on the debate over government agenda in israel. i thought it was interesting that fitch made the case in its most recent report that these measures will not necessarily doom the economy. do you agree with that? they are essentially saying the drive to perform over the next four years might not be that strong. dr. frenkel: the judicial reform that was proposed would have caused harm to the economy because israel is in a unique situation. it was an extraordinary rapid growth country. it was the crown jewel of high-tech. very innovating, very dramatically attractive foreign investment. here comes suddenly the judicial reform which was not in the way it was described. israel does not have a
7:12 pm
constitution so it is essential that the judicial branch of government is completely independent because otherwise, the government controls both the's legislator and judicial. there is a basic struggle today in israel, who will elect the judges? as long as the judges are elected not only by politicians but in the fundamental way that has worked throughout previous years, israel has been and will remain a thriving democracy. but by the same token, one should not be sanguine about it and recognize some of the proposals would cause a lot of damage and that is why there are so many very profound demonstrations in israel in a democratic way, trying to ensure that legislations that are weakening the judicial branch of government do not go through. i am optimistic about it because
7:13 pm
the young generation and masses of people from all branches and professions -- academics, high-tech, medical -- are all recognizing that the secret for israel's extraordinary performance has been the thriving democracy. it is the only democracy in the middle east and we should make sure it stays as strong as it is. i am optimistic because of the large proportion of young people who recognize this matter. shery: jacob frenkel, thank you for joining us today. he is chairman emeritus from the group of 30. joining us from jackson hole. thank you. let's see how we are setting up for the asia market opens. annabelle: that count down to jackson hole and what happened with the wall street sessions. the pullback in stocks, stronger
7:14 pm
dollar, all these factors will be playing on sentiment in asia today. two year yields moving a little bit higher and the japanese yen in focus because we are very close to the 146 level. we have seen dollar strength coming in for six straight weeks. in terms of what we are seeing for equities, that picture tilted toward the downside. we are still one hour from the open. 45 minutes for sydney and tokyo. and taking a look at china. we have futures pointing lower but one of the really interesting dynamics yesterday is we started to see foreigners coming back into the market once again. we have seen the northbound stock connect flows out of china over 13 straight days. we have been checking this chart regularly over the last few weeks. we started to see inflows for the first time. why exactly that was, i was
7:15 pm
speaking with mark crane field and he was suggesting it could be from global sentiment improving yesterday. shery: we will take you live to georgia and the airport at atlanta where you can see former president donald trump walking to his car. he has arrived just now. he is headed to the fulton county jail on charges he conspired to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election. this according to a post on his true social platform, which would make the fourth time this year he has been processed as a criminal defendant. you are looking at live pictures of the airport in atlanta as former president donald trump is now going with his motorcade en route to the fulton county jail. this would be another milestone for the former president and for american history.
7:16 pm
he has not had to report to a detention facility for processing until now. he is already facing a similar federal election case in washington and unrelated criminal charges in new york and florida. we will be getting more live pictures as we follow the former president to fulton county jail. plenty more to come on daybreak asia. this is bloomberg. ♪ he snores like an angry rhino. you've never heard an angry rhino. baby i hear one every night. every night. okay. i'll work on that. save 50% on the sleep number® limited edition smart bed. plus, 60-month financing on all smart beds. 76% of 23andme health customers surveyed shop now only at sleep number®.

7:19 pm
haidi: an interest-rate metric has become a hot topic. let's bring in someone who can explain this to us. our correspondent is here. jay powell does not know where the neutral rate is but this is the fixation of bond traders right now. garfield: yes it is because they are struggling to work out how much higher the fed might go. it is interesting, running into the last couple of fed meetings where there were hikes, there were a lot of speculations that this would be the last hike, they would not be to go much further. if you accept the idea that the longer term rates, at least partly based on -- the level of the cash rate at which the fed
7:20 pm
is not stimulating or tightening conditions, that has a big impact. if you are going to go much higher than where we are now, it is hard to square that with a long-term mutual rate at about 2.5% unless inflation is much higher than it now is. inflation has been coming down. if you do not think the fed is going to change, interest rates are going to end up over time, it becomes harder to see them going to much higher. . it also becomes a case of the higher they go on that rate, the weaker they will have to come down. you will bet on longer-term bonds to outperform because if the fed goes much higher than this, it will crash the economy because it will be too restrictive. however, if you think that r*
7:21 pm
could be higher, and along period after the global financial crisis of 2008-2009, the fed and others gradually moved down some other estimates as to where r8 might be -- r* might be. there is the potential -- it is unlikely the fed will come out and say we will add a half percentage point to r*. they are more likely to say we think it will go higher. if it is to go higher, that is bad for short-term bonds because they can go higher because the fed rate can go higher. it increases the potential the fed will keep rates higher for longer and by doing so, it will not necessarily bring the economy crashing down. if it got higher benchmark rates
7:22 pm
and are still relatively strong economy, that makes it harder to see some of the extreme -- that have been expected in all sorts of government bonds, but especially in the longer term. a month ago, investors were talking about 3.5% or 3% on 10 year yields and here we are back at 4.2% to 4.3%. haidi: garfield reynolds with that great round up. subscribers can find it online and in the bloomberg anywhere app. you can customize those settings. this is bloomberg. ♪

>> we take you live to atlanta, georgia, where we are following the motorcade carrying former donald trump as he is expected to surrender at the fulton county jail in atlanta on charges he conspired to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election. you can see live pictures in atlanta following the motorcade carrying the former president. this will be the fourth time this year donald trump has been processed as a criminal defendant. we have seen all 19 defendants in the case. they have been turning themselves in this week. we are heading to the fulton county jail, where the former president is expected to turn himself in in the next few minutes. let's bring in our bloomberg washington correspondent. what are we expecting today? joe: this is remarkable to watch this unfold live. a former president on his way to
7:26 pm
have his mug shot taken. it appears he will make the best of it as we saw him get off the airplane with a big thumbs up. he is embracing this idea of the nation watching this unfold because it could lead to more fundraising, more support in the polls and maybe eventually the nomination. it was a couple weeks ago that he said one more indictment and i have this in the bag. this is number four. this is different than what we saw on the federal level. this will be a state run proceeding, meaning eventually cameras in the courtroom. haidi: we are hearing there is a request for the trial date to be moved very quickly. joe: october is what we are hearing. this was first suggested on the eve of super. if you talk to experts on this,
7:27 pm
we have had a lot of former federal prosecutors who have been through this before and attorneys who say there is a very thin chance that will happen. delay, delay, delay is the strategy of the trump legal team. their hope is to put off all of these trials until after the election. if donald trump does become the nominee, that will be the goal -- hold this off until after voters at the polls, which could make things more complicated if voters have to make a decision if he becomes the nominee. haidi: we just had the first republican -- shery: we just at the first republican primary debate. joe: donald trump still won the night without showing up. this is the undercard debate with candidates vying for second. if you listen to the discourse, with a few exceptions like nikki haley, chris christie, most of the candidates were defending donald trump because they
7:28 pm
believe they will need some of his supporters if he is not able to win the nomination. we will probably have fewer candidates on stage for the second debate in september. there were some moments but no real change in the landscape for the nomination. >> joe mathieu with the latest. much more to come on bloomberg asia. this is bloomberg. ♪ every business deserves a great deal. that's why comcast business is launching the mobile made free event. with our business internet, new and existing customers can get one year of unlimited mobile for free. it's our best internet. powered by the next generation 10g network and with 99.9% reliability. plus one line of free mobile for an entire year.

a leading indicator of japanese consumer price trends. august year on year headline number coming in slightly weaker than expectations. 2.9% is what we are seeing. surveyed expectations of 3%. fresh food year on year, that number coming in at 2.8%. expectations of 2.9%. we are seeing that reading come through at 4%. that remains the same as the previous month and in line with expectations. inflation, we are seeing that modest easing continuing. of course we did see perhaps a little bit more of an easing according to some economists that were surveyed. the bank of japan said in july it is alert to the upside and the downside risks to inflation. we are starting to see the demand-side factor starting to kick in to make it harder to read the outlook going forward.
7:32 pm
bloomberg economics thing demand is contributing to a significant push although supply remains the biggest driver. we saw earlier in the month that watchers -- policy shifts after the tweak we stop. forecasters looking at april potentially for likely timing for policy change. in terms of how we see the yen trading, holding steady. the dollar is seeing some strength, up about .1%. in terms of how the yen has been position, we have seen the japanese currency outplaying bond market liquidity. bond market liquidity in japan has shown an improvement but the yen could really be the determinant when it comes to yield tolerance from the bank of japan. haidi: sticking with central banks, a councilmember singh policymakers must be cautious in

their next steps as risks turned from forecasts to reality. he spoke to us from jackson hole about focusing on the data. >> this is starting. i can tell you that we will be focused, of course, on the numbers for the economy and inflation. following up on what has been so far the monetary policy transmission. it is already in the numbers. we have to be cautious this time around. downside risks that we identified in june in our forecast have materialized. this is a new version of what happens around the pandemic recovery because usually we have been surprising the upside. this is, in part, in my opinion,
7:34 pm
because the transition of monetary policy is up and running. we need to take that into account. alix: that seems like a pause for november. is your vote a pause for september? mario: we have been data dependent in our decisions. there is plenty of data still to be made available until the september decision. we have a new forecast. that forecast will tell us precisely how we see this transmission of our decisions into inflation and the economy going on and we will decide in september on that regard. it is important to keep in mind that inflation has been falling faster. we have been successful in our
7:35 pm
mission so far. it is probably too soon to call it as a done deal. we certainly like to focus on these numbers. haidi: bank of portugal governor mario centeno speaking to alix steel. shery: we take you back to atlanta, georgia where we will see former president donald trump arriving at the fulton county jail. this is on charges he conspired to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election. he just landed a few minutes ago at the airport in atlanta. this will be the fourth time this year he has been processed as a criminal defendant. this booking will be another milestone. he has not had to report to a detention facility for processing until now. he faces a similar federal election case in washington as well as unrelated criminal charges in new york and florida.
7:36 pm
we have seen throughout the week all 19 defendants in the case brought by the fulton county district attorney turning themselves in. the deadline for that was august 25, of course, and we have seen some of those who already surrendered, including longtime president trump lawyer rudy giuliani and his former campaign attorney sidney powell, an architect of the conspiracy theory claiming the 2020 election was reg. we heard from -- was rigged. we heard from former president trump on his true social platform claiming falsely that his defeat in 2020 was because of a rigged election, saying the evidence is irrefutable. we have not seen any evidence of voter fraud. we are looking at life pictures of atlanta, georgia and this would be the fulton county jail,

executive director sanda ojiambo . great to have you with us. tell us a little bit about the work your organization does and why this is important. sanda: it works to mobilize businesses around the world to work toward a set of principles we believe not only makes them competitive, resilient and sustainable but helps drive progress around the world and to address some of the world's critical issues. it has been a tough three years with the climate crisis, covid pandemic and the war in ukraine and its impact on economies, energy and the rest. we look to build a cohort of businesses that can drive through the challenge and contribute not just to good business but lead to a better world. shery: the kind of companies that are meeting at the b20 with
7:44 pm
the transition of the global economy. sanda: how key are they? absolutely important we know no one sector can solve the world's problems. policymakers and civil society, it is an intertwined world. more and more co's are taking up the call and wanting to engage at the multinational level to make sure they can address it. business is a key part of the g20 discussions through the b 20 component. haidi: forgive me if i sound perhaps a little bit disappointed in the progress that has been made but i think it would be a reasonable point that we have to ask, given the acceleration of climate events,
7:45 pm
the slow progress being made on other types of inclusion, is the question whether we will see meaningful progress on the corporate front here? sanda: the truth is it has been a tough three years, even before we came into the pandemic. some of the sustainable development goals we used to guide global progress in the united nations were falling behind. it is the midpoint right now and i have to acknowledge that it is news that gives us cause for reflection and a strong call to action that we are far behind where we need to be and that applies to everyone, not just a private sector but governments that drive national action, and policymakers, as well. there is need to take a fresh look to jumpstart or turbocharge our action. that is going to be a key part of the discussion in september, when we gather for the united nations assembly.
7:46 pm
also part of the discussion and recognitions in the b 20. haidi: what is the strategy for galvanizing that momentum, energy and contribution at a time when -- economic times are tough? money is getting more expensive. we are seeing some of the most ambitious players like china struggling with their own domestic growth situations. sanda: absolutely. it is tough times around the world with inflation, the climate crisis, the nature crisis, societal inequalities widening. no doubt about that. it is difficult. the point is this is about our world and our future. business will not succeed when society around it is failing. there is a strong call for businesses to take action if they want to be resilient and sustainable for the long-term but it will require a lot. it will require bold leadership
7:47 pm
to make the right decisions for businesses to look at how you sacrifice or balance between the short-term and long-term. it will require bold businesses addressing issues like the inflation rate, how'd we make society more livable? also bold moves by businesses to make sure we can ensure a living wage, not just a minimum wage for our workers? how can businesses be more inclusive and sustainable? we did a survey of over 2000 ceos across 180 countries and all the ceos said the challenges they are facing today are really external to their business. it is not about your product. it is about how you as a business leader are standing up in the face of key issues like climate change, geopolitics impacting business more than ever before. haidi: have incentives work or
7:48 pm
are we at a point where we need to see stronger deterrents and penalties from government policymaking? sanda: we need a smart mix of both. i do not think we can regulate our way through all of the challenges we face at the moment but there certainly is an opportunity to look at how regulation can help shape some key issues we must address and must address urgently. a smart mix of regulation and good corporate behavior should get us where we need to get to. as we can see on issues like the climate crisis, where progress is painfully slow, we might need to take a much stronger look at some unfinished business about what happens with carbon and carbon emissions, where we give the incentives and the punitive measures so we can get back on track because we simply are not on track to manage the temperature of the 1.5-degree threshold. a smart mix really incentivizes businesses a lot more. we must put incentives in the

you look at the core readings streaming out energy and fresh food costs still at 4% so it tells us perhaps there is still stickiness in a deeper inflation trend. that's the open for japan. the focus in korea is on tech stocks. traders shifting through the fed remarks we got from susan collins on the count down to what jay powell will say later. treasuries falling across the curve. to your yields above 5%. -- the two year yield above 5%. kospi and cause deck slipping. the dollar has been stronger across the g10 watching what happens with emerging markets but some traders indicated 1340 against the greenback could be in play for the korean won.
8:03 pm
australia still has the focus on macro factors but earnings continuing to come through. west farm is a good barometer for the health of the australian consumer and we saw for your profit topping estimates with stocks weaker and watching brent crude because of a second weekly drop for oil given there are factors of improving supply we are continuing to see and sighing tensions between the u.s. and key sanction producers but also concerns around china's economy and lack of demand coming from them perhaps still with the focus on jackson hole. so let's head to jackson hole. shery: we are joined by a previous board member of the bank of england. thank you for joining us today. what are you watching for in this year's powell's speech
8:04 pm
because markets seem to be bracing for perhaps the bluntness we saw last year about the economic backdrop is so different now. >> thank you for having me on. the conference will start with chair powell speaking weird we should not expect a repeat of last year. it was short insisting to come inflation is too high. i remember when he stopped talking i was thinking it was just the introduction and there would be more and that was it. a very short speech. this year if he talks about the current policy debate it is more nuanced so it could not be a short. he cannot just focus on inflation. it is a trade-off about inflation and uncertainty about what comes next in the economy, will inflation continue to fall, will growth slow, so much more
8:05 pm
data-dependent mode, less certainty about what comes next and how the situation will evolve so it is hard to see that there will be a short speech. i hope it covers structural changes in the global economy and how it affects global banks. there are many different topics to talk about but it would be nice to see him returned to his successful speech in 2018 where he talked about how the stars are changing and how it affects monetary policy. shery: he could potentially dust off parts of his 28 speech. -- 2018 speech so how has the picture involved and why would that year serve as a guideline? >> the 2018 speech, the key theme at the time was in order
8:06 pm
to set monetary policy you had to have parameters like you start where unemployment could settle without inflation picking up too much and you had to set the parameters and then you knew where to set interest rates. he expressed frustrations back then about how it was hard to know where the stars were, the perimeters and it made it hard to set monetary policy but the uncertainty then is much less than today about where parameters are. we just do not know now where unemployment could settle. we do not know where interest rates could to settle to balance growth and employment. so these structural parameters have moved. they have moved much more now after covid and the shocks to energy, the invasion, the structural changes will make it even harder to set monetary policy then even in 2018. haidi: and if you do not know
8:07 pm
where the stars are going to end up it is hard to have them aligned and this will be a greenspan speech, not last year's vulgar speech. it -- volker speech. is it possible for the fed to work within the calculus all the risks you mentioned? inflationary risk coming from climate, weather, all the things we haven't started looking at yet going forward? >> they have to work within those parameters because that is the world we live in and they have to set monetary policy and make decisions but i think the lesson is they should not guide markets and say this is what we plan to do because there is so much uncertainty. they should do what they have been doing is keep options open, it will be data-dependent and we will learn how the economy
8:08 pm
evolves and keep all options open. it could mean more rate hikes, lowering rates, causing, keeping all options on the table. make sense given the need to move forward in this uncertain world. haidi: how much does deflation in china export help measure economies given that we see the stickiest parts being wage growth and [inaudible] >> slower growth in china is generally not good for the global economy, especially if this evolves into a financial crisis. that it is hard to know how things will evolve or where risks are. but if china evolves into a modest slow down, it will take some pressure off energy prices and keep headline inflation rates down in the u.s. and make jobs suck -- make their job somewhat easier because as they wait to see the lad defects --
8:09 pm
lagged effects of other rate hikes to come as long as there is not another spike in energy prices, it will give them more time to assess the impacts to hike so far and that is where the slowdown in china by keeping energy and commodity prices suppressed will make the job somewhat easier for the fed and central banks. haidi: how much emphasis do you put on the psychology of inflation? with consumer you numbers coming out of the ua -- the u.k. -- with consumer numbers coming out of the you pay, could they have an easier job? >> expectations are critically important, no question. the example of the u.k. is a good one. in the u.k., they had higher inflation then the decade before
8:10 pm
covid than many countries so companies and workers were more used to seeing prices and wages go up so when there was this inflation, it became embedded more quickly than in other economies and now inflation in the u.k., core inflation, seven percent. wage inflation, eight percent, not coming down like in other countries and it shows that once workers expect higher inflation and companies do, it is harder to take it out of the system. so yes, managing inflation expectations is key. and for central banks, communication is key. so that is why powell speech last year was so effective. it was very clear. i am bringing inflation down. i will do whatever it takes. it was very clear communication. shery: we have seen several central banks already start to tighten, passively or actively through sales of government
8:11 pm
bonds. what impact does this have on financial conditions worldwide, and is there anything we should be watching out for going into year end? >> i am delighted you brought up quantitative tightening. it's been going on in the background but it is an important shift in policy. two years ago at this conference i presented a paper are -- urging central banks to shape their balance sheet sooner rather than later and move forward faster than in the past and two years ago central bankers said it's interesting and that is so far in the future, we have years to think about it. fast forward to today, seven of the major central banks are already doing quantitative tightening or letting assets rolloff when they expire and not purchasing new ones. three central banks are selling assets on their balance sheet outright. it is early days but so far, so
8:12 pm
good. it looks like central banks are shrinking their balance sheets. it has only had a very modest impacts on yields. most is through actual rate increases. quantitative tightening. we have not seen liquidity issues or problems in markets as central banks have sold assets they hold outright so again early days, at some point as sheets shrink there could be more issues but it is off to a smooth start. haidi: kristin forbes joining us from jackson hole, really grateful for your time. let's get to annabelle for a look at the early movers. annabelle: taking a look at the tech space, this sector is very sensitive to interest rates and
8:13 pm
looking at what we get out of jay powell because this was a big debate, the nvidia earnings, blockbuster numbers yesterday that came through versus what we expected at jackson hole later this week and it appears the sentiment has shifted to the fed's speech friday and given nvidia's earnings failed to hold friday so today we are seeing tech stocks come under pressure as they did on wall street. one stocks standing out is neighbor. that -- never. that is south korea's social media. it has not -- it has jumped as much as 9% giving up gains today. these are crypto linked to names in asia and they are under pressure following what came through in the u.s. session and
8:14 pm
we saw crypto firms give up rallies gained this year. there had been optimism with the bitcoin spot filing bts and these are under pressure is bitcoin continues to retreat freshly higher today but close to the 26,000 level and then a look at wesfarmers, a group in australia has large divisions including kmart so can be seen as a check on the health of the aussie consumer and posted its four-year profit topping expectations here, stop a little higher as we get underway. shery: coming up we hear from thailand's the central bank governor from jackson hole. this is bloomberg. ♪

shery: bond traders at jackson hole. let's bring in senior reporter for fx and rates. why is the r* dominating discussions? >> it is the name of the game going into jackson hole. so what is the feds neutral rate for the economy? and what would happen to yields in the world's biggest bond market if there were any tweets to the r*?
8:18 pm
one investor from a hedge fund in singapore said it is like the appendix, it seems to be irrelevant to daily life until it suddenly bursts on you are painfully aware of it. it is essentially the theoretical level at which rates neither stimulate nor restrict economy. if there is even a hint that the fed is revising the r* it could float -- the r* it could focus a re-think. -- force a re-think. shery: should jay powell weigh in on it? should he flag any changes to the metric from the fed's point of view? >> markets are not even waiting for it to happen. we have seen a massive shift in
8:19 pm
rates as people are thinking of these dovish bets and rate cut bets early next year everything has been pushed back so there is the expectation [indiscernible] even if it is not within his speech he might be asked a question on the r*. expect violent swings. we have seen yields hit the highest level since the financial crisis this week and looking at benchmark treasuries are around 4.2% in a matter of days and that is without revision to any r* so expect a lot to evolve very quickly and it should be addressed at jackson hole one way or another. haidi: you just mentioned expectations. how do we expect the uncertainty? >> should there be any risk up
8:20 pm
at all their will be investors just behind the [inaudible] the u.s. economy is well ahead of their peers and treasuries remain the haven of choice for loads of people and when you think about the 4.2 percent unthinkable six months ago because everyone thought it was done so how people would trade through this, probably just locking to treasuries and dollars at these numbers. haidi: we await jay powell speech from jackson hole. bank of thailand governor says there central bank are close to where they want to be on rates [indiscernible] spoke from jackson hole and says he is on watch for policy indications from the new thai government. >> for us, our goal is to try to minimize the impact on thailand
8:21 pm
so we have been trying to ensure our buffers are quite strong and i think we are fairly well positioned in terms of managing if the fed were continue to hike or stay higher for longer as some expect. if you look at the bot, it has been volatile as of late but part of that reflects not just what was happening in global factors like the u.s. and the yuan but also what was happening politically and now we that we have the governor hopefully volatility will be lessened going forward. >> there are expectations you are perhaps close to ending the tightening. how close are you? are you close to equilibrium? >> we are getting there. as you saw from our last mpc, we
8:22 pm
changed the language on policy statement. before we described it as trying to ensure a smooth take off and we feel we have done that. consistent with that was wanting to normalize rates in a measured fashion. we took out that to indicate we are at an inflection point and getting closer now to where we want to be so the objective is now shifting boards towards getting the landing right, sticking the landing. for that what we would like to see as an outcome is for growth to stay in the 3% to 4% range which is what we see as our long-term potential growth rate and also to get inflation in the target rate of 1% 3%. on the inflation front we are fairly comfortable we will get there. the latest out-earn's came out soft. the headline was 0.4%. we feel it will come back into range because there is still
8:23 pm
upside risk to inflation in thailand, impacts from el niño. so we expect inflation to come back into the 1% to 3% range sustainably. growth has disappointed. the latest second-quarter gdp number came out softer than expected at 1.8%. so we will be revising our headline forecast for gdp in september with the new monetary policy report. we had a 3.6% number that will have to come down. >> might you revise your project -- projection lower given economic malaise in china? >> the latest figure we have is 3.6% so that will come down from the gdp out turns. part of the weakness, a lot has to do with the softer than expected contribution to
8:24 pm
services -- from services, particularly tourism. tourist have been arriving but they are spending less than expected. part is fewer than expected chinese tourists. they tend to spend more. so we are tight about what happens in china. china slow down hits our exports like other countries in the region. and any kind of china slow down we expect will impact the export outlook and have implications for the revised gdp figure we will put out in september. >> thailand has a new government . the party says they want to disperse cash via digital payments that amounts to possibly $14 billion u.s., which is huge. will that translate to high inflation in the country? >> yes, if it happens, it will
8:25 pm
no doubt add additional pressure to hide lit -- headline pressure in thailand but it is early days. it is early government and we have to figure out which party will be in charge of which ministry and how the cabinet will be, how responsibilities will be divided up and that will better indicate which policies are likely to be implemented and also the details about how and which policies and how they will be implemented, a lot of details are still unclear at this point so it is a bit premature for me to assess what impact of the policies will be on our own policy response. shery: the bank of thailand governor speaking from jackson hole. we have more to come on daybreak asia. this is bloomberg. ♪

8:42 pm
croatian national bank. thank you for taking time to join us today. we have been talking all day about the economy in europe and the u.s. and how everyone is trying to bring down inflation but the economic situation is different in both places. how would you describe the european economy now and croatia's place in it? >> european economy at the moment as we see in latest data is slowing down a -- down, which was expected. one thing to look at is how much the services sector will slow down, which was quite resilient. labor market remains also quite resilient. we have seen it did not feel the consequences of real sector slow down so far. so i would say we are in this position in europe now where the
8:43 pm
economy is basically stagnating. croatian is doing a little better. we expect the growth of 3% this year. which is significantly above the average, but it is also something you would expect from the economy that joined the euro zone this year and feels the benefits of it. >> inflation has come down. some think core inflation has peaked. what do you think? >> i think it was mostly -- most likely peaked as well. it is coming down but very slowly. what we see at the moment is more signs of slowdown in economic activity than in inflation itself which might have to do with the resilient labor markets and still i would say healthy wage growth we see, part of it being still a
8:44 pm
catch-up. and part of it probably being also some kind of inflation expectations induced. so the important thing is to look next spring for the data, whether we will really see a softening of the core inflation and inflation moving towards our target. >> do you think policy is tight enough? >> we are in restricted territory now. regarding restricted -- we got into restricted territory by rapidly hiking rates. whether it is restrictive enough remains to be seen and this is what we will see from the inflation data that comes. >> do you worry about stagflation? >> this is the main risk as you
8:45 pm
rightly point to, we are in this situation will receive from the recent pmi's indications in the soft data that the economy will slow down. while we do not see that much in the inflation rates. however, now we have been through the summer season in europe where we expected that particularly services inflation would still be high and it remains to be seen now as we move towards the bottom whether there will be slowing down in the services, whether we will feel the consequences of the slowdown in the labor market which will be reflected also in the inflation data. >> is a slow down worst-case scenario or do you risk recession? >> where we are now it is looking like a stagnation picture. i do not see a recession at the moment. when i say that, i think about a real recession, not a technical
8:46 pm
to quarter data off a very mild decline in economic activity. so i still think the soft landing scenario is achievable. >> if you pause or raise rates, you are very close to the end i would imagine either way. how long would you have to leave high rates in place? >> that is the main question, how long they would have to remain in restrictive territory that is restrictive enough to bring inflation towards the medium-term target and there is probably a trade off in terms of how high we go and relationship how long we have to stay there. i would say that sooner we bring inflation down, the better. sooner we bring it down, we will be able to cut sooner.
8:47 pm
this is the way how i think about where we have to go. >> will you get to 2% in the next year? >> 2% is something that at the moment we expect to achieve in 2025. but i am pretty sure that by next spring, we will have a more clear picture about whether we are firmly on the path of achieving that or if we have to do more. >> you mentioned croatia doing better economically, growth of 3% is pretty good. you have a country like germany where they have had a stagnant quarter and contraction quarter. does it make it more difficult for the governing council to set policy when you have such divergent economies? >> we look at the eurozone as an aggregate. we look at the macroeconomic
