About. Take a look at how we are trading across the region. We are seeing Risk Appetite roaring back about the big swings in bond market in treasuries overnight. The lowest, s p 500 closed since may not helping things. And of course, preexisting concerns over chinas premarket still playing out Property Market still playing out. Were looking at the next stage of the israelhamas war. Despite the release of the two catheters. The benchmark gauge in asia is just keeping its head above water but we are on course for the 11 months, with some of the greater equity really struggling to get back up there. Rishaad absolutely. Case in point, something we have been talking about really is the csi 300. It can a specific benchmark, 0. 05 . We had a very big drop yesterday, we opened lower, there was weakness, through. Then as we were speaking, it is rewriting our headline, reversing most gains. They claim, we talk about that, three 5000 earlier on. 9. 5 . The boj came in. Boj is next week, two, next week and then december 17. Dollar weakness. The prescription is to what pertained for equity markets. We are ending the holiday. Thailand at this hour, 0. 5 . Weakness in the thai baht. The asiapacific benchmark is right now unchanged. 151. 6 four. Four days a weakness. We will see how this ends. Mark cranfield is joining us to talk about everything we have seen. Mark, tell us where your head is right now. He had weakness in the equity market overnight and the s p. You had the web server in the 10year yield. What do you make of the session so far since that point in time . Mark we are getting the same erratic trading recital yesterday. We saw a huge range in treasury yields something we have been seeing frequently in the past 18 months or so, big swings between highs and lows. Yield and a bit lower on the day. You would think that would give optimism to equity markets, but the same erratic behavior were seeing here, obviously in this part of the world, will be dependent on whether outlook is for china. And so far, the etf biting you were talking about earlier has not been very convincing for people as far as china is concerned. They are still looking at other issues like Country Garden. If it signals a default event, credit default could kick in and i could have consequences across asia markets, not just for Country Garden and china as well. So there is still a lot of uncertainty sitting around the areas. Its no wonder that its very hard for people to be convinced one way or the other here they know that yields will stay high for a long time in the United States that will be a big hurdle for them making decisions on the other asset classes, especially equities until they get some clear signals either that china will step in or you will get something positive coming from Central Banks may be another rate cut from china or somewhere else in the region but in the meantime, if this constant battle between bond and Equity Investors the highball volumes are going to will not are going to win out. It will be tough for people to think they can do better than just keeping money in cash and earning 5 of the u. S. Yield. Rishaad and the riskreward going up, the 10year at 5 is really a lot more compelling, i guess, to equity markets. Ill try to tie this back into the china market and let me know what you think. Keep trying to find reasons within china why, this equity market is not rallying, and are there enough reasons, as you laid out. What about the macro environment outside is contributing to the fact that this market cap rally . Rates certainly arent helping the case to google on china. What is your take on that thesis . Mark most investors these days are international and can move their money anywhere in the world right through. A season for china being restricted, the currency is a bit uncertain as well. There are doubts about whether as a foreign investor, you would want to put your money into china right now. Compare that to other parts in the world, transparency is a lot greater in the United States or europe. There might be bigger pockets of value there, particularly in the bond curve. We up among the bond curve in the u. S. , you can get 5 . In europe, not so much. That investors have been looking for a long time at targeting high yields of return so they could put something in their portfolios that will give them a cornerstone to support the rest of their portfolio. They havent had that opportunity in a long time in fixed income. So there are compelling reasons to put some money in europe and in the United States. Not so much. Asia, and china is a big factor with in that. If we seek that here for further chinese authorities are not getting back in the way, not arresting people so frequently, just let the markets behave, that is what investors want to see in china. David stepping away, speaking of stepping away, i will try and crowbar the chinese part of the conversation. The Collateral Damage to higher yields could be boj policy. Is next weeks meeting live . Mark definitely. I think they will push it down the road, december is more likely. I think what is happening is as the jgb yields gradually increase and get higher, they will pass the threshold in the 203040 year rates going much higher. The whole curve has been shifting up. As that continues, it reduces the negative impact. If suddenly the bank of japan were to change policy without yields in the market already having gotten up, the faculty more dramatic. By the the effect will be more dramatic. Better time the bank of japan does something the mliv survey said most likely will be in the first half of next year. By the end, yields will be even higher in japan probably. A lot will be priced into the markets. When the bank of japan finally tightens policy, it will not be as dramatic as it may have been had they died earlier this year with no warning whatsoever. David mark, thank you. In singapore for us. Lets bring in eddy loh our guest, cio of maybank wealth markets. You guys put out a report 24 hours ago. I will read the title. Take us the thinking here. A tale of two risks. What are those risks, and what is the take away the investor . Eddy thanks, david. We published a note outlining the two risk factors affecting markets. The first is the surgeon tensions in the middle east with israelhamas conflict. Secondly, if the rising treasury yields leading to concerns. Given these two uncertainties, we think that investors need to be positioned accordingly in order to mitigate the downside risk. David and accordingly means what exactly, given the risks and your assumptions on those risks, too. Eddy i think may be first on the middle east incident, the conflict, our base case here is we think there is a higher probability that the conflict will be contained within the gaza strip. However, there is a nonremote chance that tensions will escalate, and it could involve even israel, in direct conflict between israel and iran. We expect a sporadic spike in market volatility, until we see clear signs of a potential ceasefire. On the back of that, are and go the crisis could remain volatile so we are urging investors to take advantage of the opportunity in high volatility perhaps through some structured solutions to play this volatility, on the middle east front. But on the yeah. David go ahead. Eddy moving onto the rising treasury yields, what were seeing here is, of course, 10year treasury yield have had 5 for the First Time Since 2007. That is on the back of betterthanexpected u. S. Growth, as well as unfavorable demandsupply dynamics. Rising boj yields does not help demand as well. Now, having said that, we are not sure if the u. S. Economy can continue to tolerate such high yields for a longer period of time. So, at this juncture, we thought at 5 , the risk is looking increasingly interesting for investors. Fixed income investors. There are actually merits to positioning in longer bonds. However, for clients and investors who are more worried about the near term volatility, you could pick up the shorter dated bonds, just for defensive carry. Haidi you actually dont mind some of the rate sensitive sectors like tech . Eddy right, i think we have actually seen that tech sector pulling back a fair bit with the rising treasury yields. In fact, in july, we did warn about some of the attack, especially in the u. S. , valuations looking a little bit excessive. But given the recent events, we are seeing ample opportunities. Still, there is a need to focus on a valuation buffer. Also, you want to focus on companies that are profitable and with strong cash positions, in better position to mitigate higher rates. That would include not Just Companies in the u. S. , but in china. Haidi i wanted to talk to you about china, how do you approach this market at the moment . Because the downward pressure when it comes to sentiment and a lack of confidence just seems relentless. There has to be opportunities there though. Eddy china has been updated disappointing after the covid reopening. I think finance has been quite damaged, consumer or corporate confidence, because of the policy uncertainties that we are facing. Having said that, valuation is really inexpensive. On the policy front, we are seeing encouraging signs to support growth. And macro indicators, there is some pickup in terms of pmi and retail sales as well. We do need to see a more meaningful rebound in the property sector. That is a key sector that is actually holding sentiment back. Over all for china, we would want to focus on areas of resilience. New economy places those are offering increasingly very attractive value. On top of that, some of the state owned ladies, within the energy stateowned plays, within energy or the telco area, that is worth a look. Haidi really great to have you with us, eddy loh, Maybank Group wealth management. Still ahead, will be digging into chinas hospitality outlook, with accors ceo, jeanjacques morin. This is bloomberg.

Ahhhhhh does it connect with acc. . Ahhhhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh haidi hamas militants have freed two more hostages, both elderly women from gaza. Calls are growing for israel to rethink the scope of a Ground Invasion and concerns of the fate of some 200 captives. Lets get more from our senior editor. Is there is sand that there needs to be a rethink because there is a possibility with the ongoing negotiations that more hostages. Be free . Bill right, with over 200 hostages still believed to big held. Guys that, there is talk about whether israel should rethink its strategy in terms of great in with Ground Forces into the gaza strip. At least that is the concern you are hearing voiced more frequently in israel, something that seems to be still and the debate. There are expectations that may be additional hostages could released if the Ground Invasion is delayed. There is also some thought that more strategic or a tougher or tighter focus in terms of target might save both civilian lives, and the lives of israeli soldiers. That is all under discussion as officially started to prepare for a likely groundwater and engaged the potential International Response to any escalation in the conflict. And engage the potential International Response to areas gritting the conflict. Haidi china initially came under heavy criticism for its response to the initial attack on israel. We have been hearing from the foreign minister only a. Have we heard any shape for clarification of her positioned . Bill Chinese Foreign minister wang yi said israel has a right to defend itself, he said that in a call with his israeli counterpart. But he reiterated beijings concern that any response follow International Humanitarian law, and that israel makes sure it protects civilians. Those comments from just ahead of what we expect to be wang yis visits to the United States later this week where he will likely meet with secretary of state Antony Blinken and other top u. S. Officials to discuss the ongoing conflict in the middle east, and likely the continuing conflict in ukraine as well. David yes, he will be in washington october 2628. We will be all over that story, of course. Thank you so much, bill faries in singapore. Lets stay clean here, stay on theme, the Virgin Atlantic ceo says that israelhamas war is affecting travel across oceans of the middle east. Some. Work forced to suspend services to tel aviv. After the atrocities of the number seven, the situation is still unpredictable. Right now the major impact has been people are not flying into israel and they are also not flying to the area, can jordan and egypt into other locations. David now, speaking in that same interview, the Delta Airlines ed bastian says the carrier is watching any potential impactor demand as the conflict develops that he also weighed in on where he is the u. S. Economy headed. This has been the most forecasted recession i have been indigenous over 40 years that i think i have ever seen. And as far as i am concerned, i think we will have a good landing, with respect to the confluence of financial variables that we are talking about. We have a consumer in our country that is reasonably in good shape, particularly as you get to the upper end of the income strata. In our business specifically, air travel, 40 of excuse me, 70 of our revenues come from the top 40 of consumers. Consumers that have Household Earnings of 100,000 a year or greater. At deltek, that number is arguably even higher. Version, i would suggest is even higher. That cohort the fed just reached your data last week, but we have been touting this for some time accumulated over 30 trillion of net worth from real estate, the market, savings, from prepandemic to current times. So our consumer is in really, really good shape. The reality is you have winners and losers in this economy, and a good sector that people accelerated purchases during the pandemic, are not really doing as well. If you leave in the experienced economy, who most of us do, its doing quite well. I think we need the alix indicator for this. A. M. In sky miles delta person, i took a lot of trips last year. I am we are describing. We love you. But dont love me yet, we are not doing that this year. I am going to hunker. We are saving. I am an example of what youre trying to get at. How can you be so reliant on our spending . Our planes artful almost everywhere you go, particularly internationally our planes are full, almost everywhere you go, particularly internationally. The other indicator in people is, if you look at a statistic you guys are about the math and the analytics the Airline Industry has a lot going on to your point, g thereu is one number that has proven resilient over 50 years and that isy the percentage of money spent on air travel, and the size of the economy. Is 1. 3 yearin and yearout. It broke through the pandemic because people couldnt travel. But that got, through 2020 and 2022 of people that wanted to travel, the inherent value, the size of the economy versus people that could, that gap is 100 million of people couldnt spend. So we are just trying to get back to normalized strengths. Its going to continue to stay strong. Haidi Delta AirlinesCeo Ed Bastian speaking to bloombergs alix steel and guy johnson. Coming up, new continue to take a look at Consumer Travel and a conversation about hotels in our exquisite interview with accors ceo and why he is staying strong growth across asia.

Haidi alright, we are watching energy at the moment given some interesting dynamics at play. Youre watching the middle east conflict and some of this pause we have seen it when it comes to that of the Ground Invasion of gaza aptly as these halted negotiations are ongoing. We have had released oil is headed higher. Brent is up 0. 6 , just above 90 a barrel. Trading in new york seeing a bitmap activity met this as saw 90 a barrel after camping 2. 5 in mondays session. This potential rate inking of the scope of the ground and fear of retaliation by militants from lebanon, the fate of some 200 hostages in gaza and other military casualties at stake. We are seeing that translate to broader trading. Taking a look at the other big focus day, they cannot industry. That is feeding through into persistent pessimism. We are looking at Country Garden, it is up just about 4 permit we have had to gain from that in a very negative way, tens of thousands of chinese knives. One of the few bright spots in the treaty has been bit player some of this exuberant reading 35,000 for the First Time Since 2022, hope that the expected etfs will create more mainstream embracing of bitcoin and crypto more generally. More ahead. This is bloomberg. David welcome back. Snapshot of onshore Chinese Market headed to the network. Net flows northbound. Red is pretty much the story of outflows all the way back to the start of august. Yellow is where we are at this point in the day. We are continuing to see some selling net outflows to the stock connect. It goes to the region. When you look at price and it the csa 300 which opened lure, reversed the weakness and then more, and then from that point in time, retraced most of those gains, if not. We are now trading slightly below the starting point of the session, by the a relatively specific. The breath of chinese bank marks benchmarking collectives. Shanghai composite we are entering earnings season. You have the likes of cnooc and others coming out with earnings. We are focused on two things, the hang seng at 17. 7 thousand, nothing really. In lieu of that, that will be the first time we are trading below 17 this year. On hstech, 3637. Taking all the way back to lows we havent really seen since the start of the year. The only remaining benchmark that remains in the running this year. Major hong kong benchmark. And given travel, it does seem that it would not be a complete surprise if it were to extend a french hill for the year of the tecate in hong kong. Tech gate in hong kong. Haidi the framing that, but i dont think that direction seeing that drop market in the region the nikkei is of them. We are seeing just about every character other than telcos and Health Care Equipment read. Everything else is mostly led by industrials and state about 1. 5 . Were headed for the fourth straight decline when it comes to japanese equities. The 10year yield, we started back at and are scheduled board participation to try to get humans under control since they adjusted the euro per control program in july. It is increasing the pressure on the regular operation. To help out with debt. So lets get to our next guest. Youre talking about the strength or the vulnerability of the Chinese Consumer and the traveler seeing sin reopening story. Accor is the Largest Hospitality Group in the middle east, africa and Asia Pacific Company says it is the two words recordbreaking year across asia. During our speaker ceo, jeanjacques morin. So many concerns about the property sector. Outward comes to Consumer Sentiment and Household Wealth would help me, going out for you guys . Jeanjacques china is about 5 of our turnover worldwide, so it is important market. But its not going to fundamentally change the direction that enjoying or six quarters of continued growth. Its an important market because it gives the tone of what is happening in asia. That is why we are monitoring closely with china. Haidi are you optimistic . Because i know doomers and intention can find about 100 and five vote partnerships in china . Tell us about how much more investment secure interested in being involved in. Jeanjacques i am optimistic in the sense that this can only go up. So the numbers have significantly improved from where they were last year. But right now, the recovery of china and the way it needs to industry, as being, the one thing that needs to come and that will come with time, is the opening to international destinations. So if you want to summarize it, its about the business we have got today, its the level we have to have used to have a 2019 domestically. If you look at internationally, both flying from china or into china were to be at 30 to 40 of what it used to be in 2019. All of that has to do with two things notably. One is the capability to travel to china. The airline flow is not what it was. We are at 30 of the flu. The other thing is the complexity in given countries to get visa in order to travel but marginally and extending to asia, asia is a market that we are number one in, as you mentioned. It has been 50 of the development of the accor group before covid. We believe we will get back to that level in the coming years. Any country in business and, if you will, the top line. The place that will come with time is china. The development is all the more important. Asia is developing significantly in terms of Wealth Creation over time. And our model is based on 1. 3 billion more characters in the next 10 years, within the work. 50 of those travelers will come from asia. Very significant in history and very significant in the nature for accor to have that presence in asia. David this is david. Your core markets japan, india, thailand, singapore and vietnam, substantial number of brands, particularly in southeast asia. Do i take it, based on your tone to your footprint in all these markets extend the china, 12 months from now exchina 12 months from now, will be bigger than it is currently . Jeanjacques absolutely. We work on density. When we make Good Business here is when we are present locally. We have a very strong presence in all the countries you mentioned. That helps, in fact, drive the brand consistency, the brand stickiness and the brand attractiveness. When we are in a country, we focus on further developing that country by making sure we put the right investment. This is a strategy that will continue it. I would like to make two additional comments, two places that we have been focusing lately is japan and india. In japan, we just closed a deal in japan this summer with a Company Called daewa. And we will be starting next year the number two operator in japan. From a place where you have a limited presence, will be number two is a market interpret the other. Once you are there. Not only are we in places where you have been for a long time, we have been in australia for 13 years. But we were all on group in asia. As i mentioned, the most important thing here is Wealth Creation and the growing middleclass see in the world, and we believe that if you look not at the next six months than the next five years, this is most definitely going to be a cross sector for the globe. David so just for our viewers, youre in premium, midscale and also economy. You mentioned middleclass. The latitude of the bulk of the business, or the bottom two of the priorities of the business in terms of group going forward, midscale and also economy . Jeanjacques yes. The heritage of accors premium and economy. What we have done the last 10 years with our ceo is we have significantly more for the company which was premium, midscale and economy, but has been entering into luxury with brands that were added to the portfolio in 2016. From their own, what we have also pushed, and we are the leading company in the world on that is the socalled lifestyle. In that segment of the Hotel Business into which you have more social adding. Its about getting memorable experiences within the vicinity of the hotel and mingling with the local community. All of that is something that we have been pushing. If you look at the business, 90 of the hotels are premium, midscale and economy. 70 of the turnover and the prophet is coming from premium. We have a stronghold positioning their. As you mentioned, we are number one in asia, but were also number one in the middle east, in europe and in latin america. So the strategy for that part of the business is basically to continue to densify a lot stronghold and look at her transition to make sure that we look at prioritization to make sure that we continue. Make sure we continue to optimize the operating model. So as an example, we have been very much a Management Company to which we provide a lot of service. We will probably move gradually to more franchises, because its one way to grow faster doing business and its also one way that the market is asking for. In the premium, the core of the business and the medium charge of the business, if you will, we have premium brands, like one which is very famous asia which is going to push swiss hotel and others. There is a lot of business which we can push through in asia and also out of asia. We are very confident about the midterm here. Haidi we have seen room rates elevated across the board and we have seen airfares elevated as well. What is your outlook for when these potentially start coming down . And are you seeing elevated airfares playing into, a gas, modeling around demand when it comes to your properties . Jeanjacques the issue on the demand of properties and the asset is fundamentally the financial environment. Its very difficult for anybody in our business, for anybody in the real estate Business Today to find the proper financing. There is an element in the shortterm that we are leaving, but that we will continue to monitor, which is the capability for asset owners to get their own financing in order to do the right deal. This is a situation we have been leaving throughout 2023. It probably will not resolve itself easily at the beginning of 2024, but this is where, in fact, to some extent we have to follow the economy and there is a couple of things where we can control what we can control. But in the meantime, we have got a good running business, a good operating business that we will continue and monitor what we can do, which is Operational Excellence to further improve. And at one point in time, out of that will come. Notably, i remember the medium term push, the mediumterm contrast is the willingness of will to travel essen as they get the means to do that the willingness of people to travel as soon as they get the means. One year ago, nobody would have bet the recovery would be as strong as what is in the world, or in asia. Everybody was talking 2024, 2025. This business is very, very resilient. You feel it today and i think you will feel it in the coming years and months. David jeanjacques, are you feeling inflation . A lot of people that we talked to in your industry mention things like telling shortages. What are you mention things like talent shortages. What are you feeling as much as asher is concerned, and do you expect to pass that on the form of higher prices next year . Jeanjacques we are talking of inflation, that is what you mean . David yes. What do you see . Jeanjacques yeah. We have been i think we have been fortunate that postcovid, there was this pentup demand which meant that everybody really wanted to get back their life, if you will, make it simple. People have probably changed the way they allocate their own money, their share of wallet, in order to move towards much more, i would say experiences. Compared to spending money on an asset. We have been surfing that way. If you look at our turnover and how it compares versus where we were in 2019, we are 25 above. By the 25 is largely because of the pricing, and in the pricing, you find inflation that is at the hotel level. So we have not been feeling the brunt of inflation because there is very Strong Demand from the young customer to go and spend money on what business is about. I think this will stabilize. I dont believe prices will continue to improve. I dont believe either on the basis of what i have in my hands, that prices will drop. I think what you are going to do is that after a very steep increase, following the strongly less of people to consume, we will find some kind of a flattening of that pricing curve and that is how we are going to enter into 2024. The other element which is laying here, is that occupational rate you have pricing on the one side and the occupational rate and we are not yet in this industry, back to the 2019 level. And were gradually going to continue to also grow that curve. Things will normalize, i believe, in 2024. I believe the difficulty, if any, is not so much. It is the development and the capacity to finance. David thank you so much for your time, jeanjacques morin ceo of al khor taking us unworthy are ceo of accor. Breaking news. The byjus eeo has quit.

Make more of whats yours. Haidi bloomberg has learned that nvidia is using our technology to develop chips that would challenge intel processors in personal computers. Lets get more from our editor for asia technology, peter elstrom. Peter, what do we know about this . Peter so this is a pretty big strategic move for nvidia. Intel has long been the dominant player in personal computer processors. You will remember in the pce were, it will essentially the trio of intel, microsoft and dell that dominated the market. Since then, things have changed a lot. We do most of our computing on selfworth. Intel tried to get into the chips for smartphones but it wasnt successfully because its chips used so much power that would kill batteries quickly. What we are seeing is nvidia, which is a leader in graphics and aa chips, is moving into the personal consumer space that intel has dominated for so long. Nvidia is trying to use arm chips to move into that space. Developing these new chips, aiming to get something on the market in 2025. These would run on the windows operating system just like the intel chips today, so its a big strategic threat for intel. David yeah, and the market told us that. The stock is showing on the screen. Close to 3 lower and already off the lows of the day. It takes me to, my question is nvidia in position to pose a significant challenge . How successful could the company be in this endeavor . Peter intel surgery has been ambitions here and elsewhere. The Company Started out with graphics processors that were very good for gaming in particular. Since then, it has moved into the ai space and become the leader in chips that train ai models including chatgpt. You can see that in the market price, is the First Company to breach a trillion dollar market valuation. Still about that level. Meantime,. Tells market value is about 140 billion at this point, so certainly, intel has had a lot more momentum. As it moves into this space, it could present challenges. Arm creates the designs that chipmakers like nvidia use should be able to make these processes. Arm has been trying to move into servers in particular. Now with nvidia trying to move into the personal computer space, this is a big issue for intel which has been struggling with its production capabilities. It has fallen behind some of the leaders in the market, including tsmc and samsung. David . , great staff our executive editor for asia tech peter elstrom, joining us on this new foray, as they say. Japanese Prime MinisterFumio Kishida has touted his lands for cuts and energy cities. Our next guest joins us out of tokyo. Isabel, what do we know about these rebates that the Prime Minister is planning . Isabel on friday night, kishida called in some of his Senior Executives and said we need to have tax cuts, i want you to think about the details of that. On sunday he had two by elections. In japan, one of them he lost, a seat that belongs to his party. Then he gave his opening speech to the social Parliament Yesterday and reiterated the plan that he was going to offer tax breaks. He also said he will continue the Energy Subsidies that have already put in place and have been extended to the end of this year, now they are going to continue into the spring. What happens next is that the ruling Party Executives have to go into meetings and deciding exactly what form these tax breaks are going to take. The consensus so far is that it seems like it will be a flat rebate, we dont know exactly how much, and it could be for about a year. There has been a process this is a temporary move to help people with the inflation that has hit japan and has very unaccustomed for a country that has been for many deflation for many, many years. Haidi why are measures working . Is it all about information . Isabel thats a big part of the picture. You have to remember that Fumio Kishida came to office two years ago, integrates incomes. Although this may not be his fault,. The war in ukraine and a lot of other external factors, it has turned out that the pay raises that have come in japan were pretty big. To, the past but they havent kept pace with inflation they were pretty big in the past but they have not kept up with the pace of inflation. People are aware of his plans for spending in the future he promised a huge increase in defense spending, in spending on families and children. And people are taking well, he will need to raise taxes to do that. So people are seeing him in the longer term as someone who plans to raise taxes. And that is never popular. Haidi our politics reporter Isabel Reynolds their in turkiye. Plenty more ahead. Our politics reporter Isabel Reynolds there in tokyo. Plenty more ahead. This is bloomberg. Available now in siding colors, styles and textures. Curated by joanna gaines. David welcome back. Just to recap some of the news from this hour the Philippine Central Bank is out, maybe putting a possible redhead on the table. They are watching inflation and remaining hawkish.
