From the asiapacific to new zealand we are seeing losses this hour. Lower on that1 disappointing chinese data. Retail sales. Right now youre seeing a decline in about one third of 1 . Also counting down to the openings in australia. Futures are pointing to a slightly lower open. Plus including being in the second cut from the royal bank of australia. Dropping to record lows. After that chinese data over the weekend. Lets get over to japan tracking futures trading at chicago. We are seeing signals pointing to a lower opening on monday. Japanese yen is still range bound. Watching out for Producer Prices for april. We will break that to you when it comes. Is the story disappointing data from china over the weekend that highlights the challenge facing policymakers trying to reform the economy and cut overcapacity. How bad do things look . In march we saw a slew of positive data. Some would say this is a corner has been turned. The reality is that industrial output and production and retail sales and private investment all missed their forecasts. Bloomberg tracks gdp growth. The bloomberg tracker has come and that is down from 7. 11 in march. Some of his cause by that date on Industrial Production. A big part of the reason is a slowdown in the coal and steel industries. A big part of that was a slowdown in automobile sales. Down 5. 1 . In march. Ore than 12 private investors here seeming to lose confidence. As the forecasters had expected. New housing sales still up around 63 in april. Due to cities putting curves to tighten some of that runaway growth that weve seen. The bank of china has come out and try to reassure the markets that they maintain supportive of the economy. Just before this date on Industrial Production retail sales. The credit that we saw on friday. We were trying to explain their way to some degree. Unusual anomalies. A major slowdown in credit is just not to be expected. They remain prudent stars from the pboc. Economists dont expect any rate cuts anytime soon. They also dont expect any major slowdowns in credit growth either. It points to the tight rope walk is being walked by policymakers here in china. Try to maintain this very difficult balance. Angie the record retreat of chinese copies from the american stock market is hitting a snag. Dozens of Chinese Companies are being bought out and being left back home. Stephen engles is taking a closer look at this. It really had a huge impact on adrs. Stephen we heard that the Securities Regulator in china was perhaps studying a new plan for groups to come in about 47 Companies Since the beginning of last year had announced plans or are in the works to back to listening back home. They think they can better a better evaluation back home. Not only the csrc but also the Foreign Exchange. The currency regulator. Largestinto one of the deals. Concern not only for the Securities Regulator but also the valuations that must be done. They are concerned about outflows. That could put further downward pressure on the chinese currency. That is what theyve done in the last week or so. This is a month for the data. This is not just last week alone. By. 3 billion u. S. Dollars. Still concerns about the currency outflows. Angie with the stock prices falling that makes buyout offers even more attractive. Is that the companies as well. The people who are buying them out my go with it. To frothy. Is exacerbating this froth that the government is worried about. The office might collapse because the price is so much lower. Premiums to price acting. China information technology. Social networking sites. One week prior the premium was 37 . That makes these overvalued areas more effective. Hong kong had an unexpected contraction in the economy the First Quarter. Partially due to lower retail sales involving numbers from china. The citys weakening Property Market so sales tumble to 25 year low in february. It also weighed on the figures. The government is maintaining its gdp forecast. The Prime Minister of japan is theosedly going to postpone Technology Conference due to the impact of the earthquake. 49 people died in komodo.

The automaker put out its annual profit forecast and is laying the blame at the cost of replacing those faulty airbags. They missed the forecast by 34 . To 3. 2 billion. That was the second year that it has fallen due to the cost of replacing those airbags. Closing something counties around the world. Many more vehicles than actually made last year. Vehicles thane were present before. It includes the negative impact of the airbags. Calculations for the last quarter. Reported its First Quarterly loss since 2009. Estimates of just over 1 billion profit. Increasing 9 . The stronger yen is continuing to affect all transactions. The forecast for the next fiscal year was assuming it will be ¥105 to the dollar. A big difference. 4. 6 billion for this year of profit. That is a rise of more than 30 . Because of their big replacement costs, analysts had in fact estimated that income coming in at 5. 3 billion. You know i miss our schools of interview with the asiapacific chairman ryan storck as we ask the Worlds Largest money manager how it is coping with Challenging Market conditions. Glenn maguire sees plenty more growing pains for asia. Angie welcome back. It 7 30 a. M. In hong kong. China says the United States is hyping up the military threat in the south china sea.

Manchester uniteds end of season soccer match was abandoned because of what is now described as a Security Training device. People were evacuated before remaining fans were told the match would not go ahead. It was explosive device. It can accidentally left in the stadium by private security companies. Angie lets check some other key events we will see this week. On tuesday an exclusive talk with the worlds biggest money manager here in the studio. Talking to black rock ceo larry saying. He is a critic of negative income. Think governments must do to boost the Global Economy. Moving into recession as we see new gdp figures missing the mark.

The agenda will include sluggish global growth. Has ruled out a discussion of further domestic spending. Trying to kickstart japans economy. President of taiwan. The formula used since 19 92. They say there is only one china but the two sides disagree on what that actually means. Lets discuss all of that in a week that includes these kind of meetings in job numbers. Indonesia and malaysia on thursday. Glenn maguire is here chief economist for the asiapacific region. Lets look at what happened over the weekend. China submitted disappointing data. It does not look like stability anymore. Glenn the key take away we can the momentum that the chinese economy is starting to display in march was obviously unsustainable. Very strong export numbers. The regions trade with the rest of the area. China was relying on oldfashioned stimulus. Boosting the Housing Market in expanding the infrastructure budget. Have a temporary kick for the economy and Industrial Production. One oldfashioned stimulus still works. Sustained ifto be you want to see a stabilization return in the chinese area. That runs counter to the goal of rebalancing. Angie if theyre importing less theyre also doing was business when it comes to the region. The decisions going to be fairly balanced. We also have trade figures coming in for indonesia. Likely to show that exports and imports remain in doubledigit contraction. I think what were going to see is the bank of indonesia clearly the trend toward moving to a new Monetary Policy regime from august 19. I dont think fundamentals are far enough away from the bank of indonesia central view for them to do anything about it. A meetingsia, it is with the new governor. I dont think he will be starting his 10 year with a radical move. Anything that would take the markets by surprise. It is important to recognize is slowing. S growth this is leading to some interbank liquidity problems. The Asian Central bank front. It would have to match with the economy we do that is a risk that a central view. Asian banks are on hold this week. There is still a lot of sentiment growing that it has got to do something. And it might be a backtoback rate cut. Glenn the bank is in a difficult position. And Quarterly Development data. It suppressed the inflation figure. It was not an area where the reserve bank was expecting inflation. The labor market reading this week could be very important. Unemployment has been falling. That is an important dynamic that ultimately should head to a little bit more confidence and a little bit more spending. At the same time this trillion dollar has been putting the reserve bank down. If we were having this conversation one or two weeks a royal bank of australia on hold outlook. But that outlook has changed. Risk now is that the reserve bank is likely to ease in the months ahead. Angie what about the asian bond rally . Glenn to certain extent it is sustainable. It clearly is starting to skew towards lower rates. We have asia and what we call a trade recession. They are experiencing doubledigit contraction seen port and import growth. Especially vietnam. Been in place for the best part of 12 to 18 months. The risk it is more links to a slowdown in domestic and growth. Further centralbank easing across asia. A positive for bonds. The asian bond rally certainly has legs. On a relative basis when we look at the returns that are occurring in other markets specially brazil it does look attractive on a relative basis. Chief economist from the bank. From trash to cash. Provideative way to Financial Access to indonesias poorest people. You are watching first up on bloomberg. The city in Eastern Indonesia produces 800 thousand tons of rubbish every day. It fills up landfill site. The innovative plan is using garbage to get people access to financial services. This may be as close as that seen ever gets using a bank. She is withdrawing money from her counter the trash bank. 102 1000y i have rupees saved. The trash bank offers a way for some of indonesias poorest people to get access to credit. The key currency is plentiful. It is literally trash. Instead of throwing away rubbish and adding to landfills locals can take recyclable items like bottles and paper and packaging where the rubbish is weighed and given a much needed monetary value. Funds also like to have regular bank. They can take out cash and pay back trash. No one has defaulted. From an economic point of view the project is getting results. With the people and rewards for the people. Most of the account holders are favored and many are women. About . 15 per week. They borrow to tie their families over. The local government collects the recycling rubbish and takes it for sorting in a central location. They buy the rubbish and set prices. That means stability for those bringing it in and for the environment selling garbage outside. A little less than seven landfill sites and trash can be turned into eight cash and credit cow.

Quick data coming in on europe, they are reacting to positive economic turns out of the u. S. And retail sales and kpi. That did not go through the american stocks. They fell in love with jobs with crude prices. The dow closed 1 , s p down almost that amount. We have a higher u. S. Index up 0. 6 , but the asia index was lower.

They are predicting earnings from negative rates. We have the banking reporter derek allen with more in tokyo. What can we read from the reporting so far . Reporter good morning. We have got two of the three biggest banks reporting on friday afternoon. A little mistake. One of them did well, they were 5 up on the consensus. Another was down as expected because interest margins have been squeezed further since the bank of japans negative Interest Rate policy was introduced in february. Mitsui did not do as much. They missed estimates by 100 billion. This was a writedown on the bank investment. We also have provisions for the finance business. Looking forward to next year however. Mitsui is reporting they will be down, and mizuho maybe. They are as predicted looking to be a little low next year, and that seems to be because of the negative Interest Rate policy. Mizuho that income for the fifth time in nine years, there will be smiles on the management. Angie yeah, definitely. But the gloomy forecast. What about mitsubishi reporting . Reporter yeah, that was japans biggest bank, coming in this afternoon. We are not seeing any surprises from mitsubishi f j. Mitsubishi f jng is going to come out and revise the way they report earnings. They are rumored to be the Worlds Largest lender to the Energy Sector, as we see what has happened in the Commodity Markets recently is concerning investors. The bank is assuring us that there are not that big problems in that sector. A lot of that sector could be a big concern. All right, live for us in tokyo. We are watching all of that today. Managerse largest many Money Managers blackrock has a conference, and we are a media partner for the event. Lets go to the chairman of asiapacific blackrock. He joins us in the studio today. , chineseppointing week data coming out. We had this sensibility coming out from china. Will this you will concern amongst clients at this conference . Ryan good morning. It will be a topic of discussion. From our perspective we are mindful that growth is going to be slowing in the next years. More broadly speaking as we go , we manufacturing lead have to expect growth to slow. Look at the Growth Profile in china and the rest of the world, on the absolute basis you still have growth rates on access with developed markets. If you look at the significant performance in Capital Markets opening up, you will still be in a situation where you see this connected in the longterm. Angie so why this reform versus policy driven investment which is what we saw underpinned the initive side of the growth china over the weekend . Retail sales still very weak, but where is the turnaround . Ryan you need time. You have a really big economy that is moving from what was very manufacturinglead to consumerlead. So financials in china are releasing you will have that transition. It will go upwards, and it will take years. Everyone is looking towards the release of the pboc. That will take a bit of time. Angie everyone is reeling against centralbank policy. Makers are over dependent on monetary a. Policy. Do you think it is there . Ryan if you look at announcements out of the last two weeks in the pboc, and i even think the fed is more aware and attuned to know the directions in their own country but how this will Impact Global markets. That is comforting. While we are in the market of all attila the the next few rters, the realization is of volatility for the next few quarters, this will have the law ramifications. This provides a sense of dampening volatility. Angie but it still persists, probably going to increase. Reading from blackrock strategy this year, very much factoring in to how you are looking at the region. Ryan there is no doubt. If you translate every optimism about growth relative to volatility, so in some respects, what are you supposed to do . Using new Investment Solutions whether it is around factors, these blending of access strategies, you will continue as bts where investors can make decisions in their portfolios. Angie lets talk more about that and strategies for blackrock when we come back after this break. He will pause for a moment. More of the exclusive chat with ryan storck after this. Juliette it is 7 42 in hong kong. These are stories making headlines around the world. More Chinese Companies have chosen mainland people for a phone scam. 32 people are being held and deported from malaysia. China is also helping people the port on the same charges. The victims were mainlanders. Taiwan says it is working to retrieve stolen money. The incoming president of the philippines says they must understand the Friendly Islands are philippine territory in not chinese. It will not relent on territorial claims or relay on detect events.

It displaces 120,000 pounds and can accommodate a point 5000 passengers and crew. It has 23ommodate swimming pools and even apart. It is the most expensive ever built, costing 1 billion. , inby over 2400 journalists over 150 news bureaus around the world. Angie the largest pacific money manager is holding its asia wealth symposium in hong kong this week. Asian wealth has been weakening a little bit this First Quarter for Global Investors and Central Banks. They are trying to figure out how it needs to bolster its own economies including indonesia and malaysia. How do you think this will happen. Ryan the public will step back. If you step back and think about the markets, they are caught by the lack of additional move by the boj and the surprise of the moves from the rda earlier this month. Both malaysia and indonesia, the trend across the region will be would yous. Angie think of the fundamentals . Investors like the bond market coming out. Ryan we are still constructive in indonesia. I think maybe there are some interesting things with volatility in malaysia in the shortterm to pick up on. But china, india and indonesia are trade markets we like. Angie what about japan . , you in the context of know japan is going to go through some challenging i mentioned earlier the low rate environment and the boj negatives. That will put enormous pressure on financials. Some are reporting in the next few days. From an industrial perspective, still reasonably destructive. There is a pressure, downward stocks. On japanese from evaluation perspective, you see really interesting companies. Angie in the First Quarter, it led your Growth Strategy in the region. That has got to have shifted somewhat to the downside, especially after the boj surprise of in action. Ryan from earnings perspective, possibly. But with business across the region, japan is a part of our strategy with the institution but also the individual wealth and retail side areas that is a part of the wealth already sitting in japan as opposed to Wealth Creation from this moment forward. Angie it all ties back to china. Week,was a speech last kind of affirmed whether people like it or not, it is still all about supplyside reform. So these headwinds will continue. Where does the fallout play out in asia, and how are you offsetting that for your investors as they come to your conference and asked for guidance . Ryan i think the overarching at the is you look ability to own Good Companies in asia relative to owning broad swaths in massive allocation framework. Look at india. There are great old World Companies to own in china, but that does not say everyone should own shares in this. But those of the conversations we are having with clients. Even outside of the region. Seven years of a tailwind of strong turns help buy Central Banks. It is a fundamental story about helping companies and doing the work. Angie blackrock, your business is passive, third active. How is that ratio changing, especially when investors and institutionals are looking for a specific outcome . Ryan you will see more of a lowcost alternative make their way into allocation portfolios. Look at etf is one example. If you compare asia to the u. S. , etf market here is by and large institutional. Look at that compared to the u. S. Market, it is a minority, but a significant minority in the retail space. There is a lot of evolution to take place in asia for the wealth investor here. Angie speaking of japan, we are about to get pti coming out in a few minutes now, and we will break to that. Speaking of which, there was a lot of anticipation that if the boj were to act, they would get more into the etf market. Does that boulter bolster the Business Case for the products you offer . Ryan it creates stronger awareness. This is something constructive and helpful, but it creates awareness as in the context of the individual, the wealth investor. Including some portion of their assets in etf. Angie so for a wealth investor, how much does the business like gain more wallet share . Ryan it is strategy. If you look at our business in of thet is a majority profile. It is a really important part of the process. We should think about the Wealth Creation that is not about taking market share. Ideas. Pplying investors hackers, the region equity platform is the best in the industry. To make tactical decisions in the shortterm, and looking at alternatives. Shot shortterm equities. All of those we will increasingly find in the wealth investment portfolio. Angie but multiassets is important over equities . Ryan it is a way for the investor to allow the professional investor in this case or the competitors to make faster allocation decisions in an environment where out but generally is not sticking around very long. So that focus in income stability of yield as well as the asset is something we will see more often. Taking elbow but also smart data. In the negative rate environment world of ours, you cannot be passive. You cannot put it under the mattress. You cannot play it safe because that is probably even riskier than trying to get assets. Ryan those broad market allocations to Asset Strategies will morph into smart beta, country specific allocations, more tactical use of passive over the course of an environment where it is not as obvious where the increment of the alpha will return in the market environment where medical follows the thinking process. Angie what is exciting for you with your wealth clients in this region of a Strategic Point of view . Ryan the oped space. We have an enormous platform. I know you asked for one, but i will go back to my comment, i think that platform in what our team is doing is exceptional. Angie hold on to that thought right now. Japans api coming out. It is 4. 2 in april from the previous year. Economists surveyed were expecting a decline of 6. 7 . Lets check the yen on the disappointing tti figure for april, and there you have it, it is unchanged but still on that strengthening phase. Range,road within that 108. 62. Lets go back to ryan here. First quarter was really awful for a lot of firms, and certainly blackrock is not immune to that. There has been a lot of contraction amongst firms in asia, and globally. Is asia cutting jobs . Ryan no. That is the short answer. If you look at our market in this part of the world, we have been growing at an exceptional pace relative to the rest of the firm. We are also much smaller compared to the rest of the firm. From the investor perspective, from a Client Service perspective, and bringing not just global product here but also increasing capabilities in local markets has been a big focus. We are expanding our team, and we are looking at the fixed income side and the alternative space. Expand. The expertise and the service. Angie you got your post, october 2014. Thank you for joining us in the studio today. Im looking forward to spending the next couple of days with you at the symposium for blackrock. We will have more from blackrock in the coming days. You do not want to miss the exclusive interview with larry think coming up on trending business. Up, a potential deal in australias Energy Sector could see orange and take off at the market open. Details ahead. Angie welcome to the stock exchange. We are looking at the open to japan and australia. We have reporters to say what they are looking at. Juliette im looking at our state energy in australia. Mitsui can be making final bids for origins assets in this space , 50 they are trying to offload. A final bid due in the next three weeks. It has not done well over the past year. Using my pink calculator, 11 gain on the open. I should have done that hello kitty sticker. They had a great beat the comes to profits. Avenue percent year and years ales read business going to japan, almost linked to year on year as well. Very little impact from the stronger yen. They are also forecast 23 up. They are a part of this great premium pt story expected to hit 120 billion by 2020 with asia with the skincare, which is what they do best. Complete a different type of industry, they make chipmakers, panel displays, and pharmaceuticals. It has a fouryear operating forecast profit forecast by 60 to 100 million. And the profit for nine months was 116 million, which is better than the same a year ago. Origin energy, shiseido, all back, thank you. That is the verdict from the stock exchange. These are highlighted based on news events areas back in an hour to see how we do. Hour,g in the next alibaba is suspended from at 18 counterfeit in after only one month. Find out why. L also counting down to the trade in japan and australia. This is first up. Angie disappointing data weighing on markets of the start of a new trading week. Honda profit plunges again driven down by the cost of recalling the lands of calls cars with Allstate Takata airbags. And alibaba kicked out of a group after gaining membership only weeks. Coming live from asia headquarters right here in hong kong on mobile and bloomberg. Com. We have futures markets with a mix with a new trading week. This is after new Economic Data from china missing estimates. Juliet is watching the boards. How are korea and japan opening up . Juliette it is looking like more weakness coming through. A little flat start in japan on the nikkei 225. We had the pti numbers coming through, so not only are investors reacting to the weaker chinese data but also pti 4 year on year in japan. This is investors surveyed, it was 3. 2 drop. On the month we saw it lose three point 0. 3 . A little weakness coming through in japan on the open. Australia also opening the flat. We will get a fresh read on korea when it has time to open up. Having a quick look at the yen, a little weaker. You can see when the pti marker did hit terminal, it was a little drop. T is holding at 108. 67 we are also watching bonds because of the chinese Economic Data that came through over the weekend, missing estimates. That has a 10 year bond rising and the yield dropping to a record this morning, down 2. 2 at the moment. We have seen quite a lot of money going into those debt markets. Having more of a check on the market for the open and seeing what korea is doing. Now we have a pickup on the nikkei 225. 0. 3 . There was a mixed session coming through from Global Markets on friday. European markets rose on the expectation of u. S. Markets, but u. S. Markets fell. We have japan april machine orders for short labor. Initial reaction, seeing good gains. On friday. L in korea, 0. 2 in the early session. Takatas lethal airbags are leaving honda with a bigger headache. They missed their forecast last year, blaming the inflation of the faulty product. We have a reporter looking into this. Reporter this is 34 based on estimate. It is the seventh role just year in a row the hit. Honda recalled four times more than last year that it made. Four times more vehicles that it made, which is a huge number. Youll recall 21 million more vehicles according to the executive Vice President , they have made this a policy, and the negative impact of the 2. 5 billion deaths related to airbags. And the fourth quarter, honda reported the first loss since 2009, a net loss of 316 billion. Estimates a profit of 1 billion. So that is either a sales increase that i believe stocks are calling now. Angie what is the forecast for honda this year . Reporter it will eat into profits. Honda had estimates based on a calculation of ¥105, that compares to ¥120 to the u. S. Dollar. So this is a wide difference. Is what results look like at the end of this year. The forecast this year operating profit 5. 5 billion. It rises 19 , but against estimates of 16. 8 billion, that comes to 3. 6 billion for the again, and the rising net income but the factor of the airbags is not factored into the numbers. Conservative, but the margins might be to return industry average levels unless in emergingmprove markets for honda. Jeffries is saying yes. That is but hundred five yen where the dollar is conservative. But it is quote unquote disappointment. Angie thank you. Some of the other earnings out of japan, mizuho said the negative Interest Rate will push the income down 11 the fiscal year to a fouryear low. The secondbiggest lender by assets expects net income to fall 5. 5 billion in march. The ceo says negative income rates will cut 68 million per year. I dont think we will see Significant Growth in capital spending. We cant expect to grow if the Global Economy slows even further. Impact of what negative rates may bring, but confusion can be resolved in the next six months or so. Executives will start figuring out how they can make this policy. Angie meantime, sumitomo and mizuho death mitsubishi suing a rise in profit after that dropped last year. They reported negative for march 14. 1 . Ling 14 1 it is forecasting a rebound of 6. 4 billion next year. Many things affected our earnings other than negative rates policy, such as the slowdown in Global Economy, including china, as well as other geopolitical events. The impact of negative rates has been rather limited as a financial institution. There are things we can do with spending and investment and corporate japan. Top story it is the today, all eyes on this disappointing data from china over the weekend that has highlighted the challenge facing policymakers trying to reform the economy, cut overcapacity, and curb excess credit. A big job. And Tom Mackenzie joins us from beijing. How bad is this for corporate china . It shows the major engines of growth are slowing. It shows just how complex that juggling act for chinas policymakers is. Bloomberg tracks gdp growth on a monthly asis. This track came in at 6. 88 for april down from 7. 11 in march. We got more details for what is feeding into that picture. Industrial output is 6. 4 growth in april, now it is down from march, below forecast at 6. 5 . The National Bureau statistics saying a big reason for that was a slowdown in the coal and Steel Industry and its seasonal effects. Retail sales also miss expectations. Consumers are keeping their hands in their pockets. A big reason, it was auto sales. They were up over 12 in april sorryme down around 5. 1 , they came down 5. 8 . So spending from private investors make estimates remain cautious when it comes to putting money out there and investigating best investing. One bright spot was housing sales. They were up 63 , new home sales in april, despite measures like shenzhen and shanghai to target the hype in the high prices we have seen, 25 rise in shanghai, 6 on a yeartoyear basis in shenzhen. Angie policy driven growth, what about monetary German Growth . What did the pboc have to say over the weekend . Reporter the china bank came out saying the credit production we saw on friday and trying to reassure the markets and investors here saying that was down for what normally would have been a swap for a highend expensive local Government Debt with usable bonds, something that is usually an anomaly. The pboc is reported. Monetary policy is rooted but it really points to the difficulties in the balancing act. Last week we heard from top lenders saying that leveraging and cutting overcapacity is a priority. But the pboc say they remain supportive. Bloomberg intelligence thinks of cut is in height order, but they do not expect a major slowdown. Policymakers are going to tap the banks breaks gently with this complex slowdown. Angie thank you so much. Tom mackenzie live in beijing. Lets check other headlines. Softbank is reporting sales at stake, and a finish gaining Company Super cell.

We still like it. We can to new death we continue to look at domestic consumption and shareholders, increasing dividends, buybacks, and so on. That has also been under scrutiny as a strategy for a lot of these corporate. Idends and dime backs buybacks are fine but it does not help with fundamentals of future growth. It does not, but as a shareholder you get whatever you can at this point in time. This is what the market likes. Angie you are rewarding that kind of strategy rather than moving away from it. Corporates have a lot of cash. With negative Interest Rates, you can remove that cash from their balance sheets, and that is a good way for them to return the cash and be friendly with the market. Angie what is the most important data coming out this week . I am not expecting much on data this week. There is Something Interesting from last week actually, which is china. The policy is changing in china. We have seen massive changing sentiments. We start the year, they were skeptical, and then a growth financing, fiscal reforms and so on. Fiscal boosts, and so now the people is the authoritative person, talking about money for reforms. We saw a transcript of xi jinpings speech focusing on supplyside reforms.

So the reason they were able to join was that in april, the iaac created a new category and alibaba joined afterwards. All of this is under review. Angie what does this mean . Reporter their share prices were down. In terms of investor confidence, it puts in question whether alibaba is on track to shake off its name and reputation has a haven for counterfeits, which is one of the things that has plagued this company. They have said they will continue to regulate and crackdown on counterfeits and in terms of iaac they have an independent unit to look at this. Angie this is critical to the global trust. Reporter alibaba wants more than 50 of revenue to come out of china, bring on more global branches. They have been trying to do this. In terms of attracting new brands. They really have to establish the fact that they are serious about cracking down on counterfeits. And so, whether they can really tackle this issue determines how they expand.

We are seeing gains in australia. It is about 0. 25 higher. A d have pdf coming in ppi coming out of japan that was disappointing. Weighing down on equity. I will to you what is waiting down on equity, they thought that never before has the bank of japan had to do so much to achieve so little. Even after a record Stimulus Program and cutting rates to negative, the Central Bank Inflation target of 2 remains a far away. Other indicators suggest kuroda s measures are failing to get traction. We look at the charts. Haidi it is not a good sign when it appears as Major Central Bank is seemingly running out of policy bullets. That is the case when it comes to the bank of japan. On friday saying, really reiterating there is more that they can do, and it would not hesitate from additional lending or easing across three dimensions, quality, quantity and the Interest Rate. More has to be done if inflation continues to knock out traction this is really showing the data in the boj strategy. ,apanese Government Bond yields have well documented, falling to record lows. That is having an impact as the bank of japan has been intended, but Corporate Bond yields have diverge at the start of this year. That is not good when it comes to bringing down the cost for Japanese Corporate product. What we are seen as well is the issue of inflation, or rather a lack of inflation, the 2 target that has long been in play, it thears at the start of quarter. The purple line is the inflation slump. Investors are expecting Consumer Price increases Holding Close to zero for the next decade. It appears the market is managing expectations for how the inflationary campaign is playing out. You cannot blame them. We are seeing cpi coming up here on the blueline, and cpi, with that consumption tax hike coming down as well. The bank of japan continues to blame lower oil prices, Energy Prices as being part of that and certainly that is part of the equation, but you have to question consumer demand in the animal spirit in the japanese market, failing to gain any traction. The concern is to get the second sales tax hike and are rumors and they will be forced to delay it once again. Seee does proceed, we will that decline in inflation and pressures coming again like we saw the last time. This is really the story of the bank of japan doing everything they can, record expansion of stimulus, going into negative rates and trying to drop off the yen which is starting to lose its effect as well. Angie. Angie well, the markets are also not playing all anymore ball anymore. Haidi right. To backtrack, if you want to bring up the story, here is the top story. Chart that isxt really depressing if you look at the efforts japanese policymakers of it going through. The yen has been strengthening aside from the intentions of the boj. Exports, a record amount of stimulus and we are seeing began as one of the top performers so far this year, a gain of 12 . A lot of that is a dollar weakened the story, but this is not what policymakers want to see. At the same time, they are seeing the topix starting to fall, trading at levels much lower than the stimulus package was expanded four. Rally afteruroda the entire program came into play, but that is starting to fade as well. There is the sense that investors at least are starting to lose their patience with the entire economic experiment. Finally, angie, i want to dove it is not just the markets in the yen feeling that lackluster effects, exports declining, baked lending starting to best lending starting to fall. Although this is not bode well. Is the lowering of diminishing returns, what more effect can we start to see . Angie. Angie thank you.

If you look at china relative to the rest of the world, you still have growth rates, which is what you have in developed markets, so if you couple that with a significant reform agenda and Capital Markets opening up, you are still in a position where you will find great assets to overwhelm the china market.
