Away from what is happening with the markets. It is timely look at goals. This reached a record last year. Many have pulled out. I guess you are looking at all the damage. This is pretty much been the worst year for investors since 1981. Imagine that. This year will be the first time for drop in prices. Lets look at holdings at the 14 Biggest Exchange rates. Investors have really gotten exposure. You do not have to pay for storage. That has fallen more than a hundred times. It is 31 year to date. Where has this gone . It has gone into the s p 500.

Nobody knows where it is going to go. If you can take a look at where we are at right now. It is a very good investment. It has been a good investment. Last are not where we were time. There we go. It is not bad. Probably the leading indicator would have to be what the fed is doing. This is still something that will hold true. Take a look at the 30 year chart. Theres upward momentum. You would have got in. Thank you for that. Indonesian leaders will likely face a new Risk Assessment standards as the economy grapples with a fallen currency.

Are pretty much looking at more extensive risk standards. They would be required to pay a levy. Have been banks expanding by financing companies. Others have started a brokerage business to go beyond commercial banking. With aia is grappling weakening currency. That prompted a tightening of monetary policy. The country is seen as being vulnerable to fed tapering. The bankingys sector has an appropriate buffers to handle all of that. Indonesian banks are the most profitable among the world 20 biggest economies. That is a fast snap to know. If you look at the overall economy, they have talked about deepening the capital market. Any changes expected in the coming year . Does look like indonesia wants to attract more ipos. This should help encourage more midsize Indonesian Companies. Product development is a top priority. Indonesia implemented rules just last year to limit m a. A 40 cap on institutions buying this. This got hit by the new ruling. It is set to buy a deal that will cost 6. 5 billion.

We are moments away from japans latest data. She is a japan economist at hsbc. Thank you so much. Anyhis is coming out minute. The expectation is with the Large Manufacturers. It will be at the highest level since 2007. What do you think . Has this contributed to the success of abenomics . It has helped weaken the yen. Is in the stimulus third quarter. It is an environment where exports are still turning weekly because of the global demand. What is the worstcase scenario in terms of what the economy is going to have to face . It is relatively smooth sailing. The only real significant risk factor is another slowdown in the overseas economy. The question is what happens after. That is a bigger risk. The big risk here is that the tax hike will create a sharp and prolonged slowdown in consumption. What about the effect of the sales tax on the corporate angle. What is the head . It will focus on the household sector. They have also put about 1 of gdp. Most is going to corporate. This is a big week for all the central banks. If you look at the doj, any easing . I think it will be a boring nondecision. It will confirm their baseline view. That is the big task. What will be the impact on the real economy . A sharp slowdown will slow down the pace of the improvement in the cpi. They will focus on wage hikes. Will come together and negotiate. I think the doj would be to the be o. J. We need to see an increase to feel comfortable core cpir baseline will continue to improve. How would you rate how abenomics has been . It has been one year since they have been in office. They took office on the 16th. He gets very low marks for the third aero. In terms of getting off the very strong par, he has done a good job. The most important part is he has reintroduced political stability to japan. Made it very difficult for government to support the economy. I think this is a positive change. Stick around. Were going to get those figures in just two minutes time. After that youll give us some analysis on what that means. You been speaking to the economist at hsbc. She will give us more on what we can expect right after this short break. We will have that to you live. Stay with us. Welcome back. Is it working . The forecast. It has risen 4. 0 allows quarter. It is a surefire sign that manufacturers are very happy. This is the best. They have fiscal stimulus again. The yen is weaker. So far the breakdown is this. Rising Large Companies 4. 6 . This is Large Manufacturers. The Large Manufacturer again. The 17 forecast. The main one is a forecast of 15. The actions are 16. It is really quite encouraging. The last quarter was 12. This is very encouraging. This is unchanged at the moment. It will give a sometimes to digest these figures. Very good boost on abenomics. It looks like ms. Data. Lets look at the japanese open.

It looks like were pretty encouraging news on the Large Manufacturing figure. Stronger than expected. It is in line with our expectations. Economy is turning around oversees a little bit. That has been a confidence boost. What was the surprise . If theres anything disappointing it is the figure. It looks like it was revised down 4. 6 year on year. Previous was 5. 1. They were expecting an improvement. We still do not find any evidence that corporate are starting to get confident about the sustainability. It is wrapping up investment. That means a worry where consumption will weaken. They have to pick up some of the slack. When you look at the small figures, theyre coming in for nonmanufacturing for the month of december. What would you say are the they faceallenges compared to the large ones . It is the increase in prices that is coming from Higher Oil Prices due to the weakening yen. Small firms typically do not have as much pricing power. When the yen pushes the spot, it hurts their bottom line. Would you say this is indication or an that theyre moderately chugging along . It is not really change the picture. This has been a confidence led recovery based on the weakening of the yen. We are seeing signs of that as corporate sentiment but has not really changed this.

S where are we headed from here . The past round of abenomics has been discounted. We have to see what will happen for the u. S. And japan. This would be fair for japanese stock markets. Overcoming for the high is quite high within this calendar year. This is quite possible by the end of the fiscal year. If you struck down abenomics in the u. S. Recovery, what other factors are guiding the japanese stock market higher . Expecting is over the monetary policy. I started to combine it with the tabling of the qe sites. Would give it more direction over the currency site. What does this look like over the april increase question is how should they position themselves .

They were revealing some deep seated issues. Then said this is not a real election of this. Were looking back as to which will be the last time to write on the scale. I do not think it will be correct to generalize the behavior of some. What we have found was how they contributed. They are hardworking. Much like their forefathers. There have been reports that there is more than meets the eye. Substandard to workers. Are you denying such allegations . Is no denying that this is on record. We share the situation. It is improving. It is important not to draw quick completions conclusions. There are certain standards to be met. We regularly check them. We are not living in a decrepit shack.

Japan has an anger response to china by calling the defense zone unjust and saying it should be lifted. They say beijing is very dissatisfied at the comments, calling them malicious slander. This is increasingly severe. We are working on defense. We are determined to protect the lives and property of the people of japan under any circumstances. Lets look closer at the Prime Ministers comments and the reaction from china. It was a pretty frustrating situation. Why he said over the weekend was basically as we have seen. This is a line that japan has been taking since november the 23rd. The context in which he was speaking. Japan hosted the summit, inviting all 10 members of the association of Southeast Asian nations to celebrate the 40th anniversary. They took the opportunity to talk about issues at that summit. They raise the issue of chinas news earned and whether china is trying to change the status quo by force and how undesirable this would be. They have this angry response from china. To spend a long time speaking of his minister did plan. What is next on that front . Cracks that was a very important item. Been talking about this plan to take a more active role. The results that have been going on have to be improved by the cabinet tomorrow. Howave seen them talk about japan can take this a more active role. They also referred to chinas behavior over the past few years into the zone in the east china sea. There is the reaction from china this week. Hold has been offering to defense ministers with the oz asean region. Et is not clear whether alb succeeded in getting what he wanted. Thank you. Thats our Bloomberg Government reporter from tokyo.

Monetary policy and stimulus has helped weaken the yen. It has given this to porters. To supporters. This is help but a floor in an environment whe exports are still trying because of tepid global demand. Yen reaction to that data. Joining us is the global head at. Good morning to you. If you take a look at that yen rising from a fiveyear low, where are we headed with the yen . I think the path of least resistance is going to be at. It is probably behind us. We are targeting around when 10 or 111 for 2014. Theas very evident in latest positioning data published on friday. This is a very crowded traded. Think theres to will be another pullback toward the 100 level. Of our trades one for next year, we do think there will be another opportunity for lower levels. Least take a look at what is expected this week . Will taper. What is the impact of that on the u. S. Dollar Going Forward . Very ambiguous at the moment. It does look like it is evenly divided. Are probably 60 or 70 priced for an initial taper. I think if we get a 10 billion dollar taper announcement, i dont think that has dramatic shortterm implications. What will be interesting if there is any tweaking of the forward guidance. You started to see expectations for the first fed tightening. Month ago the market was saying no change into late 2015. It will be up by 50 basis points. If the fed tries to push back against that recent rise, even if we do get a taper, the net result could be the u. S. Dollar actually softens rather than strengthens. Beket positioning appears to pretty long running into the fomc. Onto your expertise, it looks like the rba made a strategic decision to push down the oz even further. Where is the Australian Dollar has it . To come. Is more that is one of the currencies we think we would rather be sure short than long of. I think the rhetoric has been so successful in seeing the currency lower. It is played with a grain that is particularly negative. An urgent needs to rebalance the economy through the Exchange Rate. They are clearly cutting Interest Rates further for fear of over stimulating the housing market. We were in a little bit of the step up in the rhetoric. Not Many Central Bank governors get what they want to when it comes to the currency. That says a lot about sentiment. He is putting pushing on the door at the moment. Does it surprise you that he said a weaker currency is probable at this point . I think that is exactly right. Rates isnterest probably not going to do that much to the currency. It is going to provide that much released rectally to the trade exposure. Manufacturing more broadly has been under the pump as well as real wages. These are allaid those fellas stand to benefit was something of a time lag. Dois not obviously going to anything to directly support those sectors. It is a very strong preference for an Exchange Rate reduction. Heads off to 6. 5 next or which we think is the risk. It may still be the case that the rba will still come to the table. Sure. You mentioned the rhetoric. He said a level of . 85 would be closer. Is the risk of saying . 85, is that what the markets are already comfortable with . No. The market is where the market is at. It is just below 90 in terms of expectations. We tweaked our number slightly. It would be around 84 by the end of next year. We were saying 86. This is just one measure of valuation which i think the rba uses what is happening with the terms straight. There are other models we can use. The Australian Dollar is undervalued here. Seconds, were short on time, what is the corporate impact . The strength of the australian tolar has forced borders shut down. Absolutely. That is why a weaker currency has been weaker. A lot of the problems, some of the sectors face these inner more structural in nature. Wages are appreciably higher. It is not just an exchange or a problem. Other things need to happen as well. The weaker Australian Dollar is the easiest. Thank you so much. You are looking at the Global National fx at Australia Bank sailing against the tide of austerity.
