Yvonne that stocks certainly reacted to that news today. Shares down 5 today. Lets get the first word news with Karina Mitchell. Karina President Trump has reportedly paid very little tax since entering the white house. The New York Times says that is largely because he reported losing much more money than he made. Continuing as decadelong audit on the legitimacy of a 73 million tax refund that he claimed. Totally fake news. I pay taxes. You will see that. The irs does not treat me well.

Keep it here with us. This is bloomberg. Haslinda u. S. Futures begin the week with modest gains. Bringing some relief. Some breathing room to asian investors. For the past three weeks. We dont think people should buy such stocks. Based on our estimates, it appears to be completed. The buying of Global Equity by. Edge funds regardless what they do with discretionary. They keep equity around it. Since september, the hedge fund has stamped only these excessive holdings. It has already been completed. Theas not deteriorated to point. There has been a concentrated buying spree in july and august. That might provide any excuse for profittaking. Their appetites for risktaking. And finetuning of the two highgrowth. So you say buy on dibs. Possibly theout impact of the election in the u. S. In november. How are you pricing in election volatility risk . Higher volatility could possibly scare some investors. Talking about the nasdaq market. They are running out of things. If the nasdaq moved back closer. They will be more likely to favor buying. They are trying to follow investors. They are wary of higher market volatility. They need to have their position at this moment. And a longer position in the nasdaq. It is down. As of the end of august. They have a chance of buying on dibs. The nasdaq 100 index could avoid falling. Yvonne ok. Is a soft landing here that we could see in the future. Lets get to our question of the day for all of our viewers. We have seen correlations breakdown. It seems like the regime has shifted right now. Gold surging. Emfx. China versus all of these correlations are breaking down. How do you see them playing out against different Asset Classes in the coming days . Recent fracturing of correlation across the market is due to the unwinding of segregated positions. And confusion around the president ial election. I think one of the reasons for this correlation is due to u. S. Dollars movement. Dollar market. Based on recent supply and demand. They will exceed 95. They have much more room. There are a few fundamental factors to accelerate the buying. Will it be normal levels . It is covered by the Short Covering of the rapidly accelerating position. Yvonne thank you.

Been a case that has been in and out of court ever since the president has taken office. Welcome will presents this as an opportunity for their tax policy vision for the u. S. Either way, this is coming at a time in which the president has said he is willing to make his tax filings public should the courts rule on that. In other big news over the weekend, it has been the nomination of amy coney barrett, the just assume it is now heading to the Supreme Court. This was not unexpected. How much of a shift will it be for the legal direction of the country . Withjust got off the phone someone in the Top Administration who says they have hit a political home run. The confirmation hearings are set to begin in the next 10 days or so. Those confirmation hearings will be happening in the final days up into the november 3 election. They are confident because they think in battleground states like michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, this will help them with catholic voters. This could help them with suburban women. And that it could motivate the base of the Republican Party to get out and vote. She is seen. As a staunch conservative much more akin to the justice she clerked for, scalia. Democrats are trying to use all of their political power to slow down this process and also trying to activate their base. It is a remarkable, fascinating time. This has implications for trump and biden but also for whether or not republicans are able to regain control of the senate and whether or not democrats are able to expand their majority in the house. We will be following all of this carefully and no doubt it will come up on tuesday nights debate. Haslinda biden is set to have the upper hand. What should we be looking out for . Look to see how the Supreme Court justice plays out. That will come up. I will be carefully monitoring the geopolitics of this. How will joe biden talk about how he would deal with u. S. Allies, not just from a military perspective, trying to unify the western alliance against china, but from an economic standpoint with regard to trade policy.

It was the pivot of the whitecollar workforce for first half of this year. It is coming back in a few countries around the world. They have found that they have been able to migrate work exceeding our expectations. From these virtual, remote platforms. More than we expected. We have all had to adjust. We are doing that. There is a reasonable amount of variation. By the mindset of the individual employee. Large, we will see what happens. As we get out to the other side. Not just for Advisory Services like yourself but for retailers. Is that equally good for everyone . Is this way of working better for certain businesses versus others . How can you tell . Isi think what you will find it will be a large variability in how it actually works. For different job functions. Different mindsets based in your own situation. If you look at what happened to , there are things you want to buy via ecommerce and there is still things you want to go to a physical store for. Is now applying to actual professional work. Clearly you can do better. Some things you need to be able to have the physical interactions. The deep relationship building. The collaboration that requires physical proximity. What you are finding is each company will have to adapt to a world that will not be the same as it was last year. It will be a mix. We will find work with meaningful adjustments. Some of it is not just the nature of the different jobs. It is the mindset of people. Some people are enjoying working from home and find they are more productive. Another group think they are less productive for different reasons. Its own has to create portfolio. Haslinda lets pick on productivity. The pandemic forced everyone to be productive in some sense. Companies already wanting their workers back in the office. What is the best model to maintain productivity and build resilience at the same time . Companies have actually learned various lessons in the last few months. They are finding there are pockets where you can be more productive. You have less commute time. You can speed up decisionmaking. There are challenges as well. Feel they cannot get into the work mindset. Is the issue of individual productivity, which can be variable. In the productivity of the team. That Companies Want to get the benefit. How do we get more agile decisionmaking and bring it back as we are going back to Corporate Headquarters . Adjustst to fix and what has not been so productive. To actually work in this more agile way. Get smaller groups of people working together. To have the right tools.

Requires this agile and resistant mindset. Many favor remote work. How do Companies Use the pandemic to better push forward their businesses . Clients have said this is an opportunity. Kind ofe been on some Digital Transformation agenda anyway. To take advantage of all the technology we have. To run businesses more efficiently. This is a time of opportunity. You look at this underlying virtual remote technology. It will be a meaningful part of how work is done. Opportunity to potentially move faster. Companies are finding they can do this. It has been a source of surprise or many. Created, thatget is consistent with all the Ways Companies have been saying we need to have real investment. Making this aspect of our workforce much more important. Years ago companies were creating digital offices. Sustainability offices. That is typically a sign of how important it is. We see that happening. Yvonne thank you so much for joining us. Tries up next, evergrande to revive confidence over fears of debt. Onshore bonds are trading at record lows.

Haslinda you are right. It is 60,000 shares. Million, making them richer than they already are. The timing is pretty interesting. If you look at the album sales, they have been doing really well. Worldwide have been disappointed. That is pretty much paying off. Is, we have to bear in mind and overreliance on bts. They have to think about diversification. Where is it coming . You have to write on that success of bts. They just released an english song. It is in my head all of the time. It brings back a lot of flashbacks. They were just teenagers back then.

The Bilateral Agreements have started to fill the gaps in the wto. If i am chosen as the director general, i will want members to translate these agreements into better trading agreements. And better trading assistance. We could also update the group. We really need to reinvigorate and revitalize the negotiating function. This progress might lead more members to resort to bilateral is him bilateralism. Huawei ortrictions on other countries have also affected south korean countries. It is only fair to expect south korea and other members to readjust their supply chains away from china . Issue is still going on. Now, we will have to see how it is actually implemented. I will say that, in regard to the National Security issues, some other International Organizations are doing securityrelated technology controls. This issue needs to be further discussed. There are emerging issues in recent years. You have to find a way forward. The wto has never had a female leader in its over two decade existence. How important is female representation in International Organizations like the wto . In selecting the next director general, the capabilities of a person, the gender should not be the deciding factor. Find a very qualified candidate. It is high time for the wto she fought to find a capable woman. It could help foster inclusive, diverse control. This could also help better address and promote emerging trade agreements. Including economic empowerment. Which could contribute to sustainable exclusivity. The first female trade minister in south korea.

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. Trumps banesident on tiktok has been temporarily blocked by a federal judge, dealing a blow to the government and its showdown with the popular chinese app it says threatens National Security. Fromk is due to be removed u. S. App stores by midnight eastern. Joining us from san franciscos ofnder and Portfolio Manager a Management Firm that invested in bytedance. Good to have you with us. It is a relief for bytedance at the moment. You dealestor, how do with this messy political gain . It is good news. Thank you for having me on, it is a pleasure to be on bloomberg. I think of this as a distraction. It was three or four months of wasted effort, very expensive, a lot of speculation. We had the ceo of americas leave. It was a messy situation and i am glad that most of it is behind us and the company can get back to business. Haslinda i guess the biggest uncertainty right now is who will own the new tiktok. Does it make a difference to you who owns it as an investor . Ram not really. It seems like under the current structure, right dance bytedance will still have an ownership stake in the tiktok business. Ited on news information, looks like oracle and walmart will own a portion as well, and the last of it owned by investors, hopefully across all investors. It doesnt matter who owns it. Is howstion in my mind will the Product Development and growth functionality that this company is renowned for continue happening . Obviously with the oracle cloud deal i am confident any concerns anybody has with viciously tiktok sending data back to china should be out of everyones mind even though i am of the personal opinion the company was never doing anything surreptitious. Hitter,is another heavy big political covers kind of company as an investor. Hear arembers we correct, a 16 billion valuation for Tiktok Global, that should please most investors in bytedance, me included. The reason i say that is most of us who have been investing a while knew that tiktok would be a valuable asset but it is nice to see a number placed on it for investors to think about how big the overall business could be. It doesnt matter who controls the asset the reality is , most ofward, tiktok the Application Development has to likely be done in the united states. You go back six months, 12 months, the Historical Development process has been in china and then there was a customized application sent to other countries. It is clear that can no longer happen and the hope is that Tiktok Global will build its own internal team, scale up engineering and products in the u. S. To sell to american customers. Rishaad tell me something, of course this is a temporary reprieve, there will no doubt be more in the saga. With the 30 billion valuation, how does one arrive at that . Ram if you think about the overall tiktok business in america, as for the Court Proceedings and information in the public domain, close to 400 million americans use the product, monthly active users. That is bigger than snapchat and almost as big as twitter. Companies trade between 30 billion and 35 billion. There is a precedent and price available. If we think of tiktok as the equivalent of snapchat or twitter. I think thats why there were large investors willing to back them. , over the next five years, my bet is that this will be very big. In many ways, as an investor coming into the coming, 30 billion seems like a big price today but americans spend 4050 minutes on tiktok everyday and that is a highly engaged source of customers, especially younger customers and highly targeted as well. The real prize here is tiktok youtube. Uld offset thats what they are going after. This going on,ll has it in any way made you think twice about perhaps investing in future Chinese Tech Companies . Not just here, but look at the rest of the noise around wechat and snic. Ram to be clear, we do not invest in china. 30 of ourre than portfolio today is invested in chinese companies. We invest primarily in hong kong. My belief is the highest Quality Companies will always be listed, either in hong kong or in the u. S. Market, so we dont really care about the rest of the chinese individual companies. Am pragmatic. We are looking to find the best entrepreneurs globally, whether that is a china, latin america or america. It doesnt matter to us. Ultimately capitalism will find a way. That the you say issues are behind them, but this is a temporary injunction and has yet to play out. Plus we have a reaction from the Commerce Department saying it will defend the order and its implementation vigorously. There are risks. Ram i think that is true. Ien i said it is behind us, mean it is behind us for today. Haslinda [laughs] texted a while ago and i didnt get a response, what like imagine getting [indiscernible] one of the challenges the company is it has not been clear if a Chinese Company could win . Its. Companies have could win . Its. Companies have tried and failed. Companies could win western markets. Companies have tried and failed. This is not an expansion. Aboutaid, the way we talk america and our valuation market is we gave very little value to the america model. It is icing on the cake. If it happens, fantastic and if it doesnt, it doesnt matter. Thatook has publicly said retention on the tiktok app was so low it did not matter. Thats obviously change over time. Bytedance is an innovative they wered lets say told to shut down, go home, you will never have any sort of access in america, that is still an ok outcome. By my estimates, the company was going was spending 1 million 2 billion into the u. S. Alone. Those 2 billion will be available for china operations. The money is not the problem in this company. The problem or the opportunity is the people in the management. If they close down the u. S. , that will just open up an incredible amount of engineering product and management band with to focus on solutions and china, and theres huge amounts of ambition. Rishaad very quickly, last question. Whathead scratcher does oracle and more salient ly walmart get out of this . Ram i am surprised about the walmart connection and i have not internalized what that means. For oracle, it is simple. Oracle gets a marquee cloud customer after zoom. Tiktok can benefit from the oracle ties to d. C. 600 million in cloud spend every year, that is a direct input into oracles somewhat struggling cloud business. Tiktok doesnt care, infrastructure is infrastructure, and for oracle eyeing Tiktok Global, i think it is a steel. Steal. Rishaad still ahead scratcher with walmart. Thank you very much. Still to come, we will be speaking with a Portfolio Manager about merging market currencies and the upcoming centralbank decisions. Haslinda next, President Trump says he is a successful businessman, but information paints a picture of chronic losses. This is bloomberg. A couple of headlines to tell you about out of south korea. Bts agency is set to raise 962 6,000,000,001 in its ipo. Have helped to popularize k of, leading to the rise korean entertainment. To agency is a big hit, set been 1017ts ipo has times overbooked by institutional investors. A lot of interest in this ipo. Rishaad lets look at one of the biggest stories at the moment, President Trump reportedly paying just 750 in income tax in 2016 and 2017. A New York Times investigation has revealed millions of dollars in losses from golf courses and hundreds of millions and debt coming due in the next few years. Donald trump is dismissing the report. Total fake news. Actually, i paid tax. You will see that as soon as my tax returns are it is under audit, theyve been under audit a long time. The irs does not treat me well. Rishaad lets get to our editor, dodi schneider with the latest. Jodi schneider with the latest. The New York Times is standing by the story, but it goes back years. Jodi many years. The headline weve been seeing is that he paid just 750 in federal income taxes the year he his firstesidency and year in the white house, 2017, the same amount. Theres also a lot of other information in this very detailed investigative report by the New York Times that a sickly that they said he extended , this includess struggling properties he owned, vast writeoffs that according to them allowed him to pay lower taxes, a big audit battle and hundreds of millions in debt coming due. This as the president wages his reelection campaign. There are a lot of questions. He has said since he took over the presidency he would go ahead and release his tax records only when he was able to do so because they were under audit we have not seen his Tax Information at all. This is a very revelatory look into it by the New York Times. Haslinda jodie comer president jodi, President Trumps Supreme Court nominee might not pay the political dividend he thought. Jodi he is obviously nominating her for several reasons. It would give the Supreme Court the most conservative female justice in history but it would not necessarily accomplish what they were hoping, what the campaign was hoping, that the female nominee could attract new women voters, especially in the suburbs, with the election a month away. Basically, many women, conservative women who oppose abortion rights, were already in President Trumps cam, but they are a minority of women voters. Women,ng to polls, other particular independent and more moderate women voters who may be did not vote for him last time, although some may have, they apparently will not switch support from joe biden based on this choice of female jurists. This could actually drive democrats to the polls given her conservative stance. Haslinda jodi schneider. Plenty more to come on the show. This is bloomberg. Haslinda was do a quick check of the latest business flash headlines. Down in wellington after issuing a revenue warning. The stock fell as much as 50 in intraday trading.

Lets get a look at what is going on with the trading environment in general. Our guest is with us. Thank you for joining us. E. M. , china look at and global high yield and the risk. You cant really divorce that from what is going on in the u. S. And perhaps europe, where we have Central Banks reaching their effective lower bounds or tionary lower bounds. Site, there is not much fiscal wiggle room, unlike the fed or the ecb. What are your thoughts on that, and what is the likely outcome . Guest it seems to be the case. The way i look at it is when you look at the driving points behind the rates, it typically is by the diverse Central Banks. Mentioned, a lot of Central Banks have reached their effective lower bounds and are relying on the ability of fiscal measures to take this recovery through. A lot of the a. M. Region for a lot of the e. M. Region, some have more monetary space or are allowed to use it. They want to preserve as much flexibility as possible. At the same time, a loss of emergingmarket Companies Pushing against the ability to deliver more fiscal stimulus into those economies. That means we have got betweeng spreads emerging markets and developed ones. How about for the dollar longerterm . Guest that is a really great question. Typically in the past, emerging markets fx are somewhat beholden to the actions of the u. S. Dollar. When you are in a weak dollar environment, that Global Growth is going really well, and it is usually in un uptrend and emerging markets are benefiting from inflows of money from offshores, seeking better that theom the growth economies benefit from. I think what is different this time around is because with this ,attle between Monetary Policy playis not just a beat to against the dollar. I think you do have to look at the individual economies to determine how much monetary space they have and are willing to use, and how much fiscal levers they hold. If you wantuntries, risk, you would go for the highyield. They are likely to have the same kind of returns that you have had in the past because a lot of these countries are also coming up against years if not decades of underinvestment in infrastructure. When you are getting that lift off, they will be suffering from coming up against the ageold inflation problems as well as potentially the limiting supply being able to expand in those economies. Justad what you have said, does that really mean we will see more corporate issuance in dollar terms rather than indigenous currency terms . Guest that is a really good question. I think it varies for individual countries, and i think when you look at the dollar issue, obviously the corporate e. M. Dollar issue is growing by leaps and bounds over the past decade. Think as we continue to see countries come closer to the fiscal bounds, they are more likely to be punished by these special communities when they issue dollar bonds, and wherever possible they will be encouraging the development of their local bond markets, as we have been seeing with the chinese example and last weeks announcement of chinese inclusion is one good example of that. For the boost for chinese bonds going forward, the bonds for you has made very attractive. Guest absolutely. I think i have, mentioned in the past on this show as well. A very simple reason being that in this world where highquality government issuance, Government Bond yields are disappearing to almost nothing, china is one of the few countries globally that still has very an solid Investment Grade ratings. You know the government stands behind this market as well, and they are offering real yields that are unparalleled anywhere else in the world. Emergingmarket currencies among emergingmarket currencies, the you want is going strong goal the yuan is going stronger. At what stage do you see the pboc getting worried . Guest arguably, you have already seen a couple signs of that in the last quarter. Countercyclical factor when they announce. It is a pseudomanaged currency at the end of the day. Is it hasave seen allowed us more flexibility to come into play. Using that countercyclical backdrop, especially in periods of weakness, china has strengthened the yuan slightly against the dollar. Now you see them leaning in favor of the market remote momentum. Pboc stigma what that is it will always be a oneway ride. Dont think we will always have your back. But in the grand scheme of things, to allow for more index inclusion of chinese assets in these big global indices, the pboc needs to demonstrate more flexibility to come into all of its markets, currency included. Xie patrick, thank you for your insight. Recapping the headlines from hsbc, it is seeing its biggest jump on the back of boosting at stake in the bank, taking it to about 8 , which makes it the biggest shareholder in hsbc. Still to come, it has been touted as one of the biggest reforms undertaken in india. But indias new farming bills are stoking protests and have caused Prime Minister modi an important ally. More on that next. This is bloomberg. Rishaad you are back with Bloomberg Markets. The president of india has approved three controversial farming bills that are protests from the opposition and prompted an ally to leave the Ruling Coalition. The legislation is expected to change how farm producers cultivate and sell. Millions of people who depend on agriculture directly or indirectly. Lets get to our south asian government editor. The film the farm bill is now law. Reporter the execution of the farm bill is largely procedure once both houses sign it. The president usually signs it. Now that this part of the process is complete, the bill is now the law, how the massive farm sector sells its product will be determined by the lords. This is something the Prime Minister has described as a watershed moment for indian agriculture. He has said this would lead to more independence for farmers and other prices. The lot removes several barriers former have to face right now and they can trade the law removes several bear yours farmers have to face right now. It has led to an incredible angle by the farmer who feels that what will happen is the safety net indias farmers operated with will be yanked away. Haslinda what are the implications of modis government losing an old ally . Both the protest from the farmers as well as the exit of the chairman, a loyal ally of the party and a member of the ruling alliance, it certainly is inconvenient. It comes at a time when the government is fighting many fires, the pandemic is surging, and the country will likely hit the 6 million infection mark. The economy is in shambles. He has a very comfortable majority. Losing an ally is inconvenient. It is not something that looks good. We have ramifications in the future. But for now, the government has the numbers of the law house and it is completely safe. It does not have any immediate ramifications for the Prime Minister and his ruling party. Rishaad thank you.
