Global news, 24 hours a day, on air and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. I am karina mitchell. This is bloomberg. U. S. China and the postponed indefinitely trade talks that were due to happen over this past weekend. No official reason has been given. Stephen engle is looking into this and joins us from hong kong. Is it down too bad timing with all of the other tensions going on between beijing and washington . That is very possible. We had the coronavirus outbreak over the last eight months. Taiwan issues are bubbling up again. Hong kong has been a Sticking Point in u. S. China relations. That the surprising talks that were due to be held on saturday actually never made it to any official public calendar, either in washington, d. C. , or beijing. These talks were due to review the phase one of the trade deal at the sixmonth mark, they did not materialize. There is no date set for when that might happen again. Trumps top Economic Advisor did reiterate that the trade deal is going well. We will have to see because donald trump basically said their view on china relations had changed course over the course of 2020. One of the latest Sticking Points is over tiktok and donald trump did order a new executive order on tiktok, the music video app. The u. S. Them to sell assets, citing National Security grounds. Steve mnuchin cited they conducted an exhaustive review of the case and unanimously recommended this action to protect u. S. Users from exploitation of their personal data and donald trump on saturday was asked whether this type of action on Chinese Tech Companies could be extended to other chinese techs. Some have speculated alibaba. Donald trump said they were looking into other things. He did not mention alibaba by name. Expecting the strategic rivalry between the two nations over tech, is that going to be the straw that breaks the camels neck . That is what is going to lead to a breakdown of tensions. It very well could be because we know the chinese side tried to get the issues of we chant and tiktok onto the agenda for those talks that were going to be held on saturday between held on saturday. Whether that was the Sticking Point that made these talks postponed could be because larry kudlow downplayed the trade was a big issue. Trade, he said, was one area where the United States and china were cooperating, even though the chinese have not come through at all they have not come through on the extent of the pledges they made for agricultural purchases. But is likely due to the coronavirus outbreak. Due is likely do the to the coronavirus outbreak. Yvonne we have seen the tech rivalry. What about the military side of things . We saw the news with the u. S. And taiwan, a military deal over the weekend. On friday, there was a formalization of the deal for the pentagon to sell taiwan 66 of the latest generation f16 fighting falcon jets to the tune of about 8 billion. That was a deal that was announced back in august of 2019. Back then, beijing did not shy away from its criticism. The ministry of Foreign Affairs putting out a statement saying the u. S. Arms sale to taiwan severely violates the one china principle. The u. S. Will have to bear all the consequences. The foreign minister also warned the u. S. Not to send the wrong signal to separatist forces in taiwan. Dont repeat mistakes and dont play with fire on taiwan related issues. They are not mincing words.

Slightly higher, putting much flat on the regional benchmark. U. S. And china postponing talks on their phase one trade deal, a lot of issues with that. No timeline for a new meeting just yet. President trump ratcheting up friction on the tech front giving tiktok owner 90 days to sell u. S. Operations. Another worry for investors, the u. S. Stimulus package. Lets bring in a strategist from everbright Wealth Management. Delayingd off with the of these trade talks between the u. S. And china indefinitely. How do you see this impacting risk assets . Has this largely been priced in . Kenny . Forny i think trading hang seng index this week. Do you steer toward momentum or are you leaning more toward procyclical these days . Moved money to old ecommerce stocks. It is a tough course to pick the correct sectors. Does that rotation, is it sustained . Do you think this is a sustained rotation or can this be flipped back if we get a flareup in geopolitical tensions or a flareup in the virus . Depends on the pandemic. The sector rotation is for shortterm. I know you are a fan of alibaba. They are doing well on the back of that in todays trade. What do you make of the change in membership . How consequential . What is your outlook for alibaba . Kenny i like alibaba. Earnings are promising. Performances relatively high. Do remember some sanctions maybe applied by the u. S. To alibaba. In for the shortterm case we see a mild correction, a longtime time holding on alibaba. Your picks mentioned are some of the financials, brokerages, for example. It is one of the most popular trades out there. The 10 most valuable security firms out there are in china right now. A lot of this has been fueled by the potential merger. Has this rally been rational in your eyes . Rationale is not based on mma issues. China stocks will be the beneficiary of a strong market. Largely operating data, we can expect their earnings. Very strong in asias market. Investore aggressive what about hong kong in particular . You have been talking about where your clients sit, how they view this National Security legislation. If you want exposure to china, its hard to ditch hong kong. What are you advising your clients now . Diversify need to your portfolio. Election and. S. Social unrest. I strongly recommend to have a wellbalanced portfolio. We still have a way to go for the gold prices. You need to have exposure on bonds. Prefer chinese property, of course you should have exposure on Equity Stocks because it can bring you potential capital gains. You need to diversify across asset classes. Across asset classes. Specific stocks, you need to focus on individual stocks. Change in youru portfolio if we do not get additional stimulus out of washington . Case, in terms of hong kong equities, the valuations are reasonable. Given our liquidity situation in think the direct impact on hong kong stocks will be relatively limited. We believe this type of strategy in the second half of this year. Tom we appreciate your time. You are a fan of goals, alibaba. A fan of gold, a fan of alibaba. Japans economy takes a record hit, plunging deeper into recession. Clouding prospects of any recovery. We will get you the latest. This is bloomberg.

More than once you are down more than 25 in a single quarter, what does what difference does a percentage point make . First there was a trade war, then a sales tax hike, and in the pandemic hit. You have to go back to the great recession. You will see more toward the lefthand side of the screen. You see a big downward red bar. Not quite as big as what we just got, but still pretty dramatic. The Second Quarter of 2020, nearly 28 down. This is the worst number since the japanese government started keeping record on gdp since 1955. In terms of what is inside of it, japan had emergency lockdowns. And people are locked up, they dont shop. Consumer spending was down 8. 2 . Businesses spent more, that number was up 1. 5 . This is not just the japan and the pandemic and how it affects the domestic economy. It is all of japans trading partners, right . China, the u. S. , europe. The exports were contracting three full percentage points. There have been signs of recovery. Retail sales, industrial production. With the week exports, virus case is still rising, we do not have the olympics. That would have been a lot of money going to the economy. Tourists are not there spending money. Japan may have seen the worst. Whatever recovery lies ahead, it will be slow. Tom kathleen, we have protests in thailand. What is the economic picture in that country looking like . Kathleen. Pretty grim. There gdp report is out soon, plunging 13 . That would be the very worst on record. You have to go back to the Asian Financial crisis, far left side of your seen. Seven quarters of negative growth. Second quarter of 1998, the gdp of thailand was down 12. 5 . First quarter of this year was not too bad. They seem to be skating past the virus. Now we get this 13 double digit number. What do we look for ahead . Second quarter is supposed to be the worst quarter in terms of the impact of the pandemic. Think about tourism. There is no vaccine yet. Borders. Ot have open this is something that is hard on the entire economy. And there is a stronger bought and it is hurting bot and it is hurting exports. Exports were down 17. 2 yearoveryear in the Second Quarter. Thailand is another one where seen theprobably have peak of the negative impact of the coronavirus. There are too many things going on. It will be interesting to see when that gdp number comes out, what looks better, what looks worse. The outlook is still pretty bad. Tom secondquarter gdp out in the next few hours. Kathleen hays. Here is the latest business flash reports from the u. S. Microsoft remains keen on buying tiktoks american operations and may make a bid for its british arm. Microsoft may expand its interest beyond the u. S. , canada, australia, and new zealand. It is not clear if tiktok would sell the u. K.

Tensions politically in thailand. Contraction 12 still one of the worst we have seen. Taking a look at the terminal now. A little better than expected, but still the ugly. You mentioned the political scene. That we saw up to the 10 thousands. Police calling for the end of the military led government and a curb on the monarchys powers. Demand more about the for protesters. Protesters of the are demanding on three main changes. A call to the end of military led government, which includes theolving parliament and end of threat on civil liberty and the drafting of a new kind new constitution for the government. Paul who is leading the protest . It is the generation z. People group called free that includes several student lesbian ands, gay, transgender youth. It was the latest protest in a series that has been occurring in bangkok. That it was the largest in the thai capital so far. Tell us a little bit more. How is this weekend any different . And demand that the protesters are asking for protestthat makes this different than the many protests revolving around thailand that they have seen in the past. The key difference is that some of the protesters are actually ling on the kings powers a curb on the kings powers, especially concerning politics. This is quite a different phenomenon because thailand has very strict laws, where criticism of the monarchy could land you in jail for over 15 years or worse. Paul a breaking News Reporter with the latest on generation z led protests. ,ared kushner says ive been not israel should be the unifying factor for eighth march of the middle east. He spoke about how a deal might make an impact. Will tase is change the paradigm. Facte were resigned to the that nothing would change. Nobody was able to find solutions but the president brought fresh resolution and restring and everything. By taking a serious, no nonsense approach, he was able to make a breakthrough. Have you spoken with them since this has been announced . Statesthink other arab could follow suit . One of the great things that we did yesterday was to keep it a secret. Surprised with a deal of this historic magnitude was able to stay quiet. We have had discussions for very and people are positive. Crownre saying that the prince, that was a huge step forward. He will make the region more secure and prosperous. Purchasehey agreed to new military weapons . Can you give us anything about the purchases that they will make . We have an ongoing relationship for a long time. They are one of our closest military partners. Obviously, there is the common you have a man, who has been threatening america and funding a lot of the proxy fighters causing instability through the region. We are always in discussions with allies about how to advance with progress to make sure the region can be safe. One of the items outlined is the two state solution. He says he will not have annexation for the time being. Be inucial will this deal the longer term . Is a tough leader and he understands what is most important to the israeli people. Believes that it is much more important to strengthen the relationship with United Arab Emirate and other countries, to try to figure out how to create a cross pollination. He gives his word on something. He had noted that there was optimism and hope in terms of how they were working together on covid19. Not all the way, but some areas and the medical situation has forced them to look at regarding water and technology. The palestinians really denounced this deal. You have to put additional pressure on palestine to get them to broker that deal. Want to pressure the palestinian people. People have seen that a lot of the approaches do not work. It want to live in peace. That is the natural evolution. Has had problem after problem. President Trump Realizes realities on the ground. That was the senior white house advisor speaking to kevin. Hit from tensions with the u. S. We will discuss the outlook, next. This is bloomberg. Paul the asiapacific private equity market held stable in the first half, but the exit market saw a decline for a second year and fundraising is set to fall for the third consecutive year. The leading consulting partner. Thank you for joining us. When i spoke to bloomberg, we were looking at a pretty down First Quarter. In terms of deal value, the first half actually increased at about 71 million. Activities were up despite the environment. Down onw does it break a regional basis . China and india increased share of the market. Those two countries accounted for 73 of the overall market. They are usually about 65 . There is a significant increase in activities. Yvonne break it down for us for india in particular. Investments we have seen is there anything more to this surge . We saw a huge surge in technology. Long team ofe are industry and companies that are seeing a favorable condition despite the prices were looking at longerterm positive drivers, the covid crisis situation. It is not just communication across asia. You are looking at internet , so there is a lot of statuest technology that are active in india and you see a lot of health care, telemedicine and so forth. These drove a lot of that activity. What about some of the more risk heavy sectors . Is there any hint of demand or activity that is resuming right now . What would those valuations look like . To be honest, if you look at the retail for businesses like china, it is back to 90 . Activities are coming up. In terms of valuations or pricing, i think a lot of funding are noticing that there has not been a significant decline. If you look at the Public Market , it is very lift recovery. Backctivities really came once the Strict Lockdown went away. A lot of those are pushing people and evaluations have not come down. Paul on the fundraising front, thehad this stimulus led by u. S. And other countries around the world. At what point does that feed a to invest or demand . There is a desperate search for yield. Does that improve the environment around fundraising . Quest it has outperformed it has outperformed. If you look at the fundraising overall globally, we are pretty much on track versus last year. And we dot is lower notice the polarization of larger groups. It is able to do quite a bit of fundraising. It becomes quite difficult to write a check when your only meeting is to resume. Why do exits remain challenging . We are seeing a lot of dual listings. Is that likely to improve . I think we do expect it to turn out. Especially for health care sectors. Thedly speaking, a lot of investors are waiting for the right time for things in the thatt, to be able to show is a going to be important as well. Breaking down some themes in the sector for us. Ofing up, the resurrection australia is facing mounting pressure to salvage some of their debt. The latest as Court Proceedings get underway in sydney. This is bloomberg.

It means basically the revival will take a little longer than what people expected. That is not good news because every day cash is burning. They are not flying as russias they used to. Getting a plan is vital for airlines to get back on its feet. Thisat is the chances of deal being derailed . We will have to see what the court decides, but in the case where they are firm that what they offered is the final offer and it is what they have decided , so imf assuming the court will hear this and make a decision that is best for the airline and employees.

Thank you as always. , we discuss stalled trade talks between u. S. And china. This is bloomberg. Juliette beginning the week somewhat mixed. Cash injections by the chinese central bank. Lets go to investment solution. Great to have you with us. Tuesday back to those july levels. , iterms of the overall wanted to ask you the question of the day. How can this affect assets . Relations is something that is top of mind for the market. Meeting anticipating a over the weekend, but the market at the moment. Think that there are a lot of other things going on, including school stimulus in the u. S. And the continued new infections of covid19. Unless we get significant deterioration in the relationship, we think it will be passed in the market. Juliette lets focus on china and i of recovery. We had this injection in terms of list today. What are you expecting for policy support . Has been out in front of this crisis which allows policymakers to put a little bit of a pause over the last couple of months on policy. They do not really need to do anything more said if it can on the Monetary Policy side, but they also recognize that the risk is not completely out of the way. We think that policy, monetary and fiscal will stay very supported. Continue toobably signal dovishness. It is not going to be as significant as it was. Yvonne he had getting some jitters in the market. Is there any indication that the selloff is on treasuries and gold and we can Gain Momentum . That is a really good question. Perspective, they were not pricing in any of the growth recovery. We thought it was warranted, given that it has improved so take lacethat did not until last week. The bond market was looking for a few different things. Starting. Ly it looks like the u. S. Government has been able to manage the secondly. It is pretty supportive towards the market. Vaccine. D is potential youre not talking about it as much. That is something that should not be ignored. We actually look at the bond market which is something more coherent than what we have seen. We still think that there is more space for them to go higher. Do you think the fed will have to do some thing . It is dealing as much as it can. They have made it clear that they will probably not raise rates for the next one of years. We will probably get an indication of what the new Monetary Policy will look like in september. Changes. Announce some the baseline is that they become slightly more dovish in their approach. I think the fed is doing everything that it can. We need that physical package to come through for markets to continue to rally. We need people to start spending, which you saw a little bit in the data. Retail sales are pretty much back to precovid levels. The markets in change and you see more men towards value . So far, it has certainly been growth outpacing. Absolutely. That is the question of the decade, i think. A little bit of a setback over the last 15 to 20 days. Is to seeeally need consumers have a sustained sense of spending. Unemployment is still high in the u. S. , so a lot of the spending is being supported by fiscal support and benefits. We have only seen half the come back through the executive order. If we want to see a sustained increase, we need to see the Congress Passed this package. That corporate businesses are Strong Enough at the moment, at least for the remainder of this year. Keep Consumer Spending up. Juliette what are you looking at in terms of asia . You have this divergence for what is happening in indonesia. What are you looking for in terms of sustained recovery costs asia . Asia has been quite interesting. There has been a north and south asia divide. They have benefited and generally speaking been able to bring new infections under control. It,heast asia, a lot of from our spirit our perspective is the competition of the index. They are very financial focused. When you do see Interest Rate pushesenerally, that pressure. To succeed to see a sustained rally, we do need to see a couple of things. I know i keep repeating the same point, but it is important that fiscal policy stays. Project a and they have done everything. You need stable currency. Ways and continued fiscal support. About you mentioned fiscal stimulus. Why do we need this to warrant rotation . It seems like you are leaning towards the procyclicals. If we see a reversal and a meaningful one, is it enough to offset the text selloff that we might see in light of this . They do not really hold that much index weight. I think you can play it in many different ways. Whether it is industrials and materials is one way that we are positive on. Ven the tech sector action andust price evaluation. It is actually supported by earnings. What you are looking for in terms of risk is going to be whether the u. S. And china needs to be earlier , if you see it in terms of Tech Knowledge he driven talks, that is very different from going back to last year, which was much more economic. Risk. S definitely a if you see it passed by the end of september, that would be a sign that is close. Yvonne we are going to leave it there. Thank you for joining us from singapore. Plenty more to come. This is delivering. Bloomberg. Theette warning that relentless alley could end if joe biden wins the white house. They will be tougher on wall street because of the tax plan. So, electing biden and harris, as much as it will be great for the country, it will not be great for the market. Aside from taxation, the Vice President ial pick does not do much in the way of financial policy. People will be watching for that treasury take. Are your expectations of what they would to regulate industry in a different way . The biden camp and everybody i have spoke to our centrist and more conservative than the trump camp. They know that you cannot keep spending forever without having some kind of offset. I think you will see time tax hikes on the wealthy. The country has gotten as wide as it has been, ever. Average american is not doing as well. Most people in america agree with that. It is a question of how it is done. Problem many the tax regimes. That will be the big test. Are markets prepared for that . I do not think so. We are in a liquidity driven frenzy. Up because they announced a stock split. It makes a lot of sense in this environment because everything in 2017,g like bitcoin into a speculative frenzy. Usually, it is fed action. It could be action on raising taxes. Company, an amazing but it is trading on a gigantic multiple a gigantic earnings base. I think the are in bubble territory. The election right stop it for a wild. Some volatile stocks. Is it an appropriate value in these times the echo i think it is. I think bitcoin crossed the rubicon for something that people maybe think is. They are looking into how to get involved. It is a downhill race. The first four years of my existence, i was pushing the ball up hill. I like bitcoin that are than bitcoin has been hard to buy. Bitcoin has a long way to go to catch gold. Think gold should be ending up by the end of the year . Those are hard predictions. Out the highs in the markets, it is hard to figure out where they end. The fed will go even more dovish in the next meeting. That could be what accelerate gold and bitcoin. Was mike. At we have plenty more to come. We will take a look at derailed trade talks. This is bloomberg. A. M. E it is 11 29 continuing to stumble amid the spreading coronavirus pandemic. Growth fell 27. 8 in the Second Quarter, more than expected.

Together. Ply work it has been a productive relationship and we would like to see that continue, if possible. Tell us more about how members are reacting to this ban. How devastating will it be for businesses operating outside of the u. S. And china . It has our full attention, for sure. The executive order is extremely vague. One meeting of it is that it would be a defensive measure to protect american consumers, in terms of protecting their data, and it would not affect American Companies operating overseas. That would be one meeting and it would be possible, but we are trying to gauge with the administration to learn more about what the intentions are.

As far as democrats and republicans, whether a biting administration would be different than a trump administration, certain things will stay the same. Toward china and some requirements for a shift, structurally. That will be the same. Probably stay the same, but the how will probably be much different.
