Even though we saw stocks lower today, it seems like this run is still intact, particularly if tax reform moves forward by the end of this year. Not so great for one particular asset, 8240, this chart i want to show you, gold. Week,rd this earlier this if we get tax reform through and Interest Rates rise, which they look set to do, that was also pointing to the fed minutes, gold will suffer. We have seen gold slip from a oneyear high in september. , it though it is choppy looks like that down trend is in place. Dont buy gold. Some people would beg to differ thing gold has reached a bottom and you still have to find a decent return in this situation. Given fed minutes and inflation coming you have to wonder how much higher these rates can move and the dollar move. Exactly. If there is no inflation, or very little inflation, that is the same case for gold. Lets pull up the chart for the u. S. Markets and show you how we , particularly after those fed minutes.

Global news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. This is bloomberg. Thank you. The latest minutes from the fed moved markets, renewed concern inflation will remain sluggish. There is a renewed whiting to divide. Widening Kathleen Hays has been looking through those minutes. It has been brewing all year. Janet yellen now showing more concerned. You could even say finally worried about inflation because inflation has fallen farther from target. What is interesting about the november minutes is that it does show that even if we are worried about inflation and the future, they are still on board for the december rate hike, but the question is what happens next. This is chart 6897. White linetarget, a headline inflation at 1. 6 , but the core rate is 1. 3 . It only hit the inflation target once in five years for one month. Some of the key phrases. Many ready to hike rates in the near term. December rate hike is done. March rate hike, pace of rates in question pace of rate hikes in question. The does say inflation must rise before they hike again, but they all agreed on a very important sentence and that is the fed will monitor inflation developments closely. That means they are putting more recognition on the failure of the inflation to reach its target and it will be an important deal as janet yellen leads the fed. Last night, she to open the door to the dangers of low inflation although she still seems pretty be is is going to move higher, but she is at least expressing got out more than she has in the past. That was an interesting comment, the most salient point out of the conversation. Stay with us. Cofounderbring in the and chairman of wayland Global Advisors p or good to have you here on this thanksgiving eve. Global advisors. Good to have you here on this thanksgiving he. I wanted to play a comment from a guest we had in the last hour who says there seems to be more debate on inflation and puts into doubt the Interest Rate hikes for the following year. On the aboutainly inflation. I think this signaling that the december rate rise will happened, but it would not surprise me if it is not unanimous. The big question is what happens in 2018. Im not sure we will see enough inflation for the three rate as the plots are suggesting for 2018. Are you doubtful too. This whole process is quite surreal because the fomc is wedded to a very old policy mix in their minds. When they think about households, inflation, this whole fixation with the 2 inflation target, but what is really going on here is they are having to admit that inflation inquite high and it is assets, the stock market, real estate, and some very large Asset Classes moving very quickly. There was a misunderstanding over what quantitative easing would do. They thought it would impact statistical inflation, wages, that sort of thing. According to you, where should inflation effectively be . Know is that they have managed to cause a bull market in global equities, not just the fed, the other Central Banks too, and they have doubledigit price increases for residential and multifamily housing, which is not helping the consumers at all. Privately if you sit down and talk to people in the fed as i do occasionally, believe it or not, they admit there has been a reaction, but not the one they were looking for. The bond market, a lot of people, and the bond market represents people looking at the economy and saying there is no reason. The yield curve is flat. You want to raise longterm rates, then you will hurt people trying to buy a house they cant afford. The Financial Stability argument is interesting, but if the fed focuses on too much does it potentially create a problem by moving when they dont need to move . If you not going 175 Miles Per Hour down the runway, you cant pull back on the stick. There is not that kind of demand for credit, and inflationary consumer demand out there. What you have is a scarcity of assets, which is a different matter entirely, Institutional Investors who are still having a hard time finding the duration they want to put in their portfolios. Do think the Central Banks are buying too much . They are continuing to buy. The fed should to the mortgagebacked portfolios as quickly as they can. We are down 30 . Be selling 50100 a month. Until you do that, you cant interest price. They got this backwards. They went into qe after the drop in price. How do reverse that . Youd like to know the portfolio and see if the market can sustain any kind of price increase. What is this all about . It is about how much risk of the street is willing to support. If i am the fed and i see this bull market in the bonds, i should be taking advantage of this. They want bullets for the next downturn. It should be get those securities into private hands in case we have buy them later. I think they got it wrong, innocently enough. The funny thing is that the bond market is the mechanism for policy, and they dont really understand it. It is striking to see them talking about inflation. Talking about that yield curve kathleen just mentioned, i have a chart 7207. We are inching closer to thats zero line mark. How does chair yellen interpret this right now . Is the fed willing to see her out the yield curve or an inverted one . I call this the yellen put. She is wedded to this narrative they have created about raising shortterm rates. If they stick to that, you will have an inverted curve by next year. In thefast it has moved past month. It has taken a lot of people by surprise. You raise a very important question. Hang on as we will continue with you. Chris whalen, wayland Global Advisors. We will be talking banking in a few moments and jamie dimons rambunctious talk. Plenty more ahead on daybreak asia as we head into black day higher for fridaycyber monday spree, we talk about the state of retail 8 45 hong kong time.

He said he felt better about the banks treatment following the financial crisis and said he would never trust the government again. For a competitive tax system in the u. S. And if he has to pay more, so be it. We should get rid of carried interest, deferrals for hedge funds, and if you want to raise so bee comes my rate, it, but dont have an uncompetitive tax system in a competitive world. That is a mistake for america. Whalens bring back chris still with us. Dimon. Y fired up jamie the one line, hes willing to pay higher taxes to get a Corporate Tax rate of 20 . Is he a lone wolf in this camp right now . There are a lot of responsible people on wall street who feel the same way. I am delighted to hear him talk about carried interest. Is wrong for Financial Professionals to pretend they are taking risk when they are not. Overall i have always liked jamie dimons take on public policy. He is right about the crisis. The governments behavior was shameful. The way they strong the bondholders was wrong. They did the government of favor, but there you are. Talking about how he once to get rid of carried interest in deferrals for hedge funds, which the house and senate bill currently does not completely do, even despite the fact that king the campaign President Trump said he wanted to drain the swamp so to speak, so do you think these loopholes will derail the tax reform getting done this year . It is a strange calculus in washington. You never know how and why anything happens because it is all done at the last minute. We have not had a budget for most major departments in the government for years, but they will have to buy enough votes to get them over the line. Look at Susan Collins for example. It is unclear whether she will support the bill. Ultimately they all want something because that is why the process take so long. Who can be bought and who cant be bought .

This is a fraud decorated with technology. That is what bitcoin is. A fraud . I give you a legal tender dollar and you give me nothing. You give me a number. It is a gaming instrument at best. We have a lot of people fascinated by the technological aspects of this come also it is not connected to a government and subject to the kind of manipulation. It is a very interesting phenomenon. The government has had a monopoly on money for 150 years in this country. Bitcoin challenges that. You think this is a bubble that will burst . It is a fascinating social experiment. ,t will be extremely volatile putting it on Balance Sheets and buying it for customers. How are you going to value it . That theres a buyer, then there will be a seller. It is a collectible. It looks like a security, but all these icos have had to pretend they . Are charitable endeavors, so who knows ive put this next to elon musk and tesla. Are stories of overtime and shows you how confused we are and how difficult it is. Tesla has product.

Some of the things to watch in the market. Philip hammond has knowledge the Economic Outlook is deteriorating. His budget confirms lower growth forecast for 2018.

The big headlines out of the chancellors budget in the 90 kingdom surrounded the housing sector. 44 billion pounds will be spent on housing over the next five years to try and address the lack of affordability in the housing market. A tax on housing transactions will be charged to firsttime buyers up to a set value. We also got some new measures on brexit come a 3 Million Pound exited Contingency Fund is being set aside. All that is being overshadowed by a downgrade to expectations for the u. K. Economy. At no point in the next four years are they expecting the u. K. Economy will grow at more than 2 . Mind, philip bymond with his hands tied his own party and lack of a mandate, brexit overrides all of this, hangs behind all of this we heard in westminster on the subject of the budget. The big question is whether negotiations will move on at the heads of state meeting in december in brussels. We also move onto the future trading relationship, having self with the three priority issues, and that we dont yet know, so we wait to get more details over the weeks ahead. Could there be another offer of more money on the table from the u. K. . Switching gears now to china, the corporate want market is starting to feel the bite from the debt Deleveraging Campaign. Yields on the top rated fiveyear notes rose to a threeyear high. This is 1910. We have seen those yields and jumping 26 basis points since the start of the month. Some analysts are saying yields will keep climbing and corporate defaults could reach record levels. Lets bring in our chief asia correspondent to tell us more about this and what the bond market is really signaling. Is stress among the corporate spirit we have seen global bond yields spike. Spread intoee it company barring come a fiveyear yields at a threeyear high. We have one trillion in notes maturing. Refinancing more expensive then anticipated will lead to defaults and pressure some parts of the economy to fail. Allowing defaults is not a bad thing. It puts the china sovereign bond market on level with its peers. , these yields are signaling higher borrowing costs that will have some impact on their own profit and margins. They certainly need some type of reality check given they have not seen any losses for three years. Deleveragingthis campaign spread from shadow banking, Asset Management asducts, to microlenders well. It seems to be a concerted effort by the authorities. We know the authorities were serious about debt and flagged risks associated with the Asset Management sector, but now they are really moving on it. Pboc governorhe with a warning during the party congress, and now the Asset Management crackdown. Definitelyent is putting their foot down to rein in risks around the edges, but that they question is how far will they go. What does this mean . Were not only talking about china, but the world. China it itself is forecast to contribute more than 30 of Global Growth this year according to the imf. The chinese authorities are going hard on the Deleveraging Campaign for taking risk out of the system, that would apply in a slower economy. Feeling that the authorities while they go hard on certain areas will ensure the macro settings are stable and growth remains on track. World, that of the probably means that even if china is slowing, it should not fall off a cliff or hit a hard landing. What is interesting here and what Goldman Sachs said is that the Deleveraging Campaign in china is one of the most important issues for the World Economy in the year ahead in terms of whether they get it right or not. It certainly is. Up next, chinas push to make its greater bay area the leading hub for life sciences. We will hear how the Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group is looking to cash in on this growth. This is bloomberg. This is daybreak asia. I am yvonne man in hong kong. I am betty liu in new york. We have focused all week on entrepreneurs planning to connect nine cities in guangzhou province to create a hub of innovation and technology rivaling silicon valley. Tom mackenzie has been following this and is now in beijing. You have been speaking to the regions largest drugmaker. So tell us where the opportunities are for this company. This is guangzhou pharmaceuticals, one of the largest Drug Companies in china aed in guangzhou and they see number of opportunities based around key areas. They are heavily automating their factories and production lines. They have teamed up with madea group and are starting to put factories to in automate production of drugs. They are also teaming up with a company around artificial intelligence. The other area they are excited about is chinas demographics. The large numbers of people now with cancer and diabetes, a strange thing to be excited about, but that does provide some opportunities. There is a push by chinas policy makers to allow some Drug Companies to get involved in the private sector around things like private health care, hospitals, and Nursing Homes. Pharma once to create this ecosystem to create a disconnected system of health care products. That is something i started by asking the chairman of the company about. Take a listen. The sales of guangzhou from a suitable group are said to exceed 100 billion yuan. 150 billion yuan by 2020. As an industry with great importance, Chinas Health care sector shows huge growth potential. We must seize this opportunity to cash in from a robust market in supporting policies. Our goal is to join the fortune 500 within three years. One issue is the bottlenecks when it comes to approvals for new drugs. That chinese customers and patients dont have access to drugs that many people in other parts of the world do. How much of an issue is this . There has been extensive reform in the drug approving system. The approved process has been sped up under policies. The amount of approvals on new drugs we received in the first three quarters this year is the same as the past three years combined. Will bring more new drugs to the market and give consumers more options. The government has raised the regulation standard, but on the other hand further open the market. The market has been playing the dominant role in setting drug prices. As result, the retail price limit has been scrapped. Another area of interest increasingly is private hospitals, something that is being supported by beijing. Forhis an area of focus you. How much of an opportunity is there . China is now facing an aging population and a severe shortage of medical resources. Based on the social reality, guangzhou pharmaceutical has made up its mind to combine and an ecosystem that combines facilities providing medical and Health Services and open special hospitals, maternity centers, rehabilitation clubs come and Nursing Homes to meet the evergrowing demands. The chairman of guangzhou pharmaceutical laying out an ambitious plan there. They Health Care Sector in china has not caught up with a lot of the development you have seen across china in terms of the hospitals still state owned, including guangzhou, and there has been this backlog in terms of drug approvals in that interview. That is starting to speed up and this focus on provision of private health care in partnership with the state is something that is increasingly a key area that policy makers in beijing are looking at. Many investors and companies see health care as a serious opportunity now in china. What about globally . Pharma haveangzhou in terms of plans on the global stage . Domestically policymakers are starting to lower the barriers for foreign pharmaceutical companies to enter china, which will be potentially good news. Face greatermay competition. He talked about a partnership they were trying to line up with an Israeli Company that specializes in generic drugs. They were going to try to work with them to supply some of those generics into the chinese market, so that is the domestic side of it. On the international front, he told us that he was looking to buy an indonesian listed company. He would not give us the name, but said he was looking to build up factories and production lines in Southeast Asia as part of that, so Southeast Asia is a key area for them, but primarily it is about building this ecosystem the messed agree and fending off competition from foreign drugmakers in the but does have his eye on international expansion. Great interview there. , we discuss the future of health care with david great grayden, the innovation that could help paralyzed people move again.
