Eek. We look forward to that u. S. Up by almost two percent. China prepares in for more volatility when it comes to market, there had better be. The swings we have seen are likely to persist. Going to happen i guess. We have been looking at the Market Reaction today. As a positiveen move coming from the central bank. They do recognize a need to go higher. China does want to let free market dictate. They said that at the last forces doingmarket more in china. It is priced were the risk should be. What they are saying is the market does need to tolerate reasonable movements in rates. Where are we now . As far as today is concerned we are a little bit higher compared to friday, but if you look back three months or 10 years. You going to use this quote. Resources to be allocated properly, there you go. Massive roi has certainly increased risk massive has increased risks. The take away if you look back isough the last 10 years that the spike in market rates have become more futile. Some of these were up, and some were not. Thisnk if you do compare to four years back they are much higher. The range for november and december was four percent. We havent gone below that this year. It couldof economists cause some stress. In corporate china this goes up, but in time it is not a oneway street. Some industries and some companies where you have Growth Prospect you could see these cost of capital actually go down, so it depends on the risk profile. That is where you want to see china go eventually. Thank you, david. Lets take a look at other stories we are following. Htc and nokia have agreed to explore a collaboration after a patent dispute.

We are talking a record deficit for the month of december. Billion yen. That translates to 6. 2 billion. This matters because it is the broadest gauge of the rest of the world. It counters trade in terms of services, goods, tourism, and Foreign Investment and return on foreign and. You are looking at the end. The yen has been depreciating since late 2012. Costs, using up import pushing up import costs. You have to take a look at the reliance on imports, in particular Energy Imports since the tsunami has caused japan to import energy specifically in the form of fossil fuel. That is why the equation is higher when you take a look at imports to give you a chance of how you a view of how you calculate. The reliance on energy has been the predominant reason we are at record now. According to an analyst he says these are temporary factors laying a wider role in pushing up the deficit, but it does pose a bigger question. How is Prime Minister shinzo abe this and challenge get the industry back on track, as ashley since an april we will see an increase of sales tax rate room five percent to eight make it even worse as the thirdlargest economy looks to go back on track. We look at the session in shanghai. John is taking a look at what is going on. What is happening . Hashe Chinese Government actually expended a subsidy plan for vehicles beyond 2015 to promote the use of new energy vehicles. We are seeing these stocks. That is the key portion.

Children Building Block is a legol hit. We will look at s journey from playroom fun to bigscreen success. We have heard many say the worst is over for an emerging market, but our next guest remains bearish when we return. Stocks in this part of the world have the longest winning streak. Investors should prepare for the beginning of a downturn in equity markets. Withinur 2014 outlook site of the summit, our messages old market can still run further, but we are certainly within the summit, and it is important to recognize the downside is greater. We dont have the same margin of safety. What are the alternatives . There are opportunities in the u. S. Treasury. The u. S. Is doing a solid growth pickup. It looks like it is going to be sustainable. Therefore, around the 250, 260 area. We still see the rates this year edging up to around three and a quarter, three and a half. To us this is an all an opportunity, not a dangerous look at markets. There is still plenty of risk when it comes to emerging markets. Act and forth across emerging markets where risk is going to go up and down depending on what investors feel is a hot potato right now, but you arent going to see this rod movement anymore. Lets get more on asia markets with our next guest. That is a mouthful. Us live thisd morning in our studio. Good to see you. Bearishlk about this look you have on emerging markets. A lot of people said the selloff was overdone. Now it is time to get back in and pick up some bargains, but you say, not so fast. I am not sure about it. The view is almost always happy. We are in the minority that believe asia and emerging markets are highly likely to deliver either flat or negative returns this year, and the reasons are pretty straightforward. When the Federal Reserve changes its monetary stance and we are tapering by the end of the year, normally emerging markets tend to have trouble. We have already seen some weak links with the ukraine, argentina, venezuela already beginning to break. I think that might spread to other countries that have debt,t deficits, external and i think in latin america and also in korea the earnings expectations are massively high. I dont know why, so i am expecting some downgrades from those two. Of globalecause recovery. I think Global Recovery is good, but emerging markets have two ways to deal with the issues. One is to let markets devalue it and to raise Interest Rates. Money in both circumstances, so yes, there may ifa Global Recovery, but your company is raising Interest Rates, those numbers are going to come down. They describe it as risk love. Would you say there is too much love in the developed world that sentiment is basically neutral but at panic levels . Why . They are at proprietary indicators. They want to step back. Were inember people love with risk. Then people got ahead of themselves. I think people got ahead of themselves. Even what has happened that risk is back to neutral. I want to see it in a panic. What about the u. S. Growth story . I think in december people were pricing in too much. They are probably realistic now. As a house we are very bullish on u. S. Growth, especially the second half. He has done a great job. This is the first year he has gone above consensus. His view is the consumer is in pretty good shape. Of housinge effect stabilizing. There is a pick up in energy production, so the usual list, so we are actually pretty positive in the u. S. Recovery. The developed markers probably went up because multiples went up, not because of earnings. All you are seeing is these multiples coming in a little bit. Ofwe heard from the cio Goldman Sachs saying this u. S. Equities story is very bullish, but it does little more nuanced, because while we have valuations at a level where you have to be a little more careful. Valuations so sure are huge problem in the u. S. The u. S. Equity strategist manytt that it did different ways, and she comes to the conclusion the market is moderately undervalued. Equity thatost of is about eight or nine percent. That gap is very positive, so in other words, you can just compare our ray versus the emerging. You have to look at cost of. Apital it is really apples and cockroaches. I am not going to answer that question, although it is interesting amongst your pessimistic view there is another one sharing an equally pessimistic view and not really traditional, but mark mobius is also down on emerging markets as i would listen closely to what mark mobius has to say, given that he is one of the groups in investing. Wehe is worried i would say should listen very closely. What do we agree with that he is seeing and you are seeing . Isthe reason of my pessimism produced straight forward. Whenever Monetary Policy is tightening, i think the starting point is we have had a fiveyear credit boom primarily fed by qe, so a lot of money came in, almost four and a half trillion dollars. That has led to massive property bubbles, massive credit booms, and what the fed giveth, the fed take up. Take us away. That is probably by the end of this year. Please stay with us. We are going to get the rest of the gang. B of a merrill lynch. X, the race for space in the Company Helping tourists next, the race for space in the Company Helping tourists. A new space race is underway with private enterprise leading the way. Richard ransons Virgin Galactic is set to make its Maiden Voyage this year, and a Company Called zero g is helping tourists prepare for the real thing. We take a look at the business of weightlessness. I am cory johnson, and right now this is one of the most enjoyable moments of my life. Not always that way. Just a few minutes ago i looked like this. I am down in Cape Canaveral to experience zero gravity. I am exactly the wrong person to be doing this. They have recently partnered bransons Virgin Galactic for passengers who have already purchased tickets to get acclimated to the feeling of weightlessness. They have charged up to five grams for the privilege. Here is how it works. Of her into a series bolick parts. Parts. Bolic it nearly pinned passengers to the floor, and it against to dive at an equally extreme angle thatalf a minute. At moment passengers experience weightlessness, and they do it again and again and again. There is a reason the plane is known as the vomit plane. It is very rare. Denise is one of our zero g guides. Now that this is becoming more of a reality these companies are starting to talk tout training customers experience microgravity, so it is really a wideopen market heating created with commercial space. That brings us to where we this experience comes at a price. A Virgin Galactic ticket costs 250 grams for six minutes of weightlessness. They are charging five grand ahead for seven and a half minutes. T is only 11 boxes second 11 a second. They have more than thrill seekers. There is big money moving. Several companies are buying for contract from the increasingly outsourced space agency. It is all going to be private companies now. And lift up. Now they are paying 70 him they are tarred and 70 million each time a u. S. Astronaut hitches off from the International Space station. There is only room for one passenger at the time. The amazon ceo says they are still in the testing phase for his company blue origin. He hopes to take three astronauts in the new capsule. The odds of that working are back on the ground. Paying 5,000 might seem like a lot of coins. Think of the extra parts. Then there is a set of twitter pictures making the envy of your friends. Can you put a price on that . One small step for me. One giant leap for bloomberg television. It looks like a lot of fun. That was greg johnson on the race into space. To there cutting down start of the trading day in india. We have future is in the mix. Futures indicate they are going to be going up alongside the wider asiapacific. This is what is happening. Currently the situation is like this in sydney. Of 6 10 of one percent. What we have is some data coming out of china and also japan. We have hong kong vacillating between gains and losses as far as the hang seng goes.

More gains for asian stocks, and brick i brick, how lego has become the second largest toy maker in the world. Lets get a brick by brick look at the latest in the markets. Mixed hang seng has a picture. One of the reasons china is highest is because the chin ese new year. Only two or three industries seeing gains. It is really quite different in shanghai. Hong kong has been closed for two days, and look at this. Shanghai was closed the whole week. Every single industry will see again. Consumer Goods Companies are thely seeing a big drive. Chinese government is looking to extend. You ideas seeing big gains. Byd seeing big gains. More or less for the week. One designer. 34 gainers. Seeingthese Companies Big gains, and Consumer Spending rising in china. The chinese new year, and enormous amount of people are migrating back and forth. China is seeing the gains. China is opening up at the lunch break. What effect is the weak yen having . Clearly the yen is weaker. Out. Have figures that is the picture. Actually 10252 before. Ofis the Biggest Record december. Imports driving even higher. China is ahead in that. We have also individual stocks they are driving up exporters. Big gainers. Huge exporters in japan. These companies have earnings that are quite encouraging. A torrid year last year. Misting missing estimates. Shares down the most in six months. These three seeing declines. They are the Nuclear Reactor stocks. They could see a drop in the need for nuclear energy. Thanks. Looking forward to tomorrow. To meet up with Goldman Sachs chief executive, lloyd blankfein.

Once we cracked the code and are confident we can then start moving on to another city. Within three years the next city could be the birth ways of yoga. Youre probably near the top of the list because it is a huge middle class that is growing. There are other countries in asia lick the philippines or thailand or malaysia that are halftime on the radar. The spending is not as high. From a financial point of view they wont make anywhere near the kind of money we can make in hong kong or singapore.
