for an election result in tell tuesday. big business said the growing uncertainty is the worst possible outcome. marketplace seen as china's craig's list has gone from beauty to be's. auto is burning through cash. you can let us know what you think of today's top stories by following us on twitter. the china and hong kong markets underway in 30 minutes, but singapore, taiwan, and malaysia have just come online. here is david. david: the question is what is not happening. dense across the asia-pacific, very mixed. everything together, we are flat, so we have to wait another day for the msci pacific to hurdle the brexit losses. as far as all of asia, recouping those losses, largely down to the lethargic session in japan. flat right now on the nikkei 225 . same across currencies, exception is aussie dollar. we are in limbo in a moment. we have the rba decision tomorrow, and your first instinct would be to reduce your long exposure. it has managed, to recoup some early losses. , last week was a bit ok. dollar-yen, more bad news out of corporate japan as far as the boj is concern, inflation expectations are being drawn lower. there you go. thanks for that. the australian election delivered no clear result, a hung parliament looks like a near certainty. when our we going to at least get an idea of what the next government will look like? the pictures should become clear towards the end of the week. the counting resumes tomorrow, but 13 full days before everything is counted and it gets closed off by the electoral commission. at how thingsook stand, the ruling coalition sitting on 71 seats, 75 is the magic number you need to cross to form a government. on opposition labor party 67. that's why malcolm turnbull is in a slightly better position to form a majority government. if he can pick up a couple of seats yet to be determined and appoints a speaker from one of ts, he has made it. so malcolm tumble in a better position to form a minority government, but even if he does so, can he hang on? the former had similar circumstances in 2010, managed to get through her time as prime minister without facing a single vote of no-confidence. legislation ing this sort of situation is next to impossible. we have a recipe for policy paralysis, or at least another election, providing uncertainty for markets and questions around the fate of the aaa credit rating. angie: how many leadership coups in the past couple of years? almost as many prime minister leadership changes as there have been years in power. took power from tony abbott nine months ago, is he under threat himself? , and there is already some talk about that, potentially a coup forming on the right wing of the liberal party. he did get the job to prevent an election wipeout under tony abbott. there is some recent history in the liberal party as well. it's going to be a real test of malcolm turnbull's ability to lead here, but even if he does manage to cobble together a minority government, there is trouble ahead within his own ranks as well. angie: thank you so much for that. a survey of economists by bloomberg says that china will have to bail out it's bank within two years. tom mckenzie is taking a look at the story for us. how big do they think this bail out will be, and why the urgency? we are talking about a 500 billion dollar bailout of china's banks within two years. some put the number far higher. is a is one estimate that $3 trillion bail out, but even that is a fraction of the 10 billion trillion -- the $10 trillion forecast by kyle bass. china's debt now stands at 240% of gdp. record numbern a of defaults, and in the 12 month since the end of march, nonperforming loans shot up 40%. 210erforming loans may cut billion u.s. dollars according to government data. would question that data and the true scale of the nonperforming loans is likely to be far higher. the pboc released a financial stability report last month, banks are able to maintain relatively high capital levels even if hit by severe shocks. economistrt-term, predicted bailout would hit markets, bank stocks, the renminbi, pushing up government borrowing costs. many say longer-term that a rescue would be positive. china bailed out it's banks in the 1990's when nonperforming recapitalize, then the big for lenders and set up a big state run bank, largely seen as successful and followed by 10 years of breakneck growth, so short-term pain for long-term gain some of these analysts are saying. angie: thank you so much for that. we will take a detailed look later on in the show. we want your opinion. tweet us your thoughts. let's take a look at some other stories we are watching today. as companies consider their future in the u k posts brexit, the chancellor exchequer may offer an incentive to stay. john osborne is looking to lower the tax rate to 15% from 20%. meanwhile, tens of thousands of people marched through london protesting against leaving the european union. campaigners point out the referendum result is not legally binding. cannot legally happen without a vote in parliament. a group is threatening action against the government if it invokes article 50 without consulting mps. for brexit ision that it will be handled by whoever succeeds david cameron. latest figures have raised concerns about the state of the auto industry. 1.5 one million vehicles were 2.5%, but many automakers came in weaker than expected. annualsonally adjusted sales pace for the industry was $16.7 million month on month, falling short of $17.2 million. feeling concerns for u.s. autos, weaker jobs growth, u.s. employers added the fewest jobs in nearly six years in may. one of china's largest property developers resume trading for the first time this year. vanke was faulted as the two biggest shareholders fought for control. angie: thank you so much for that. on our website, we will look at why asian banks may be facing a whatsapp moment. that is a bloomberg.com/asia. persuade -- to be more relevant to ordinary people. we will take a look at the issues that have proved so divisive and australia. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> the latest first word worstnes, baghdad's attack in the year has killed 100 15 people, a truck exploded in a shia neighborhood, underscoring the ability of extremist to strike. clothing andmany jewelry stores, restaurants, and cafés. the blast came as the streets were filled with people. days ofs announced six naval exercises. andames start on tuesday run through july 11 in the south china sea. --jing says shipped from ships from other countries will be banned in the area. it comes ahead of arbitration from the hague on july 12. china has said it will ignore the outcome. rapprochement between israel and turkey has allowed for the passage of aid for palestinians in gaza. caring food, clothing, and toys, which will be distributed this week. global news 24 hours a day powered by over 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries . this is bloomberg. angie: pressure mounting as the austrian election declared -- austrian election declared no clear winner. election declared no clear winner. can you explain the nasa nations of the parliament here -- mechanization's of the parliament here. find ourselves in a similar situation to 2010 when neither party was able to win a majority of seats. to win a majority, a party must get 76 seats in order to govern. at the moment, the coalition of parties is sitting on 65-68. the labour party is around 69. a number of seats have yet to be decided. we are waiting for the count to progress and to see which side can start to win more seats. if any of them are going to have a chance of forming a majority government. angie: this is bill lowest primary vote for either of the two major party since 1943. the liberals and the label party -- labour party, now they have to court the greens. who else? there are so many here. how does that change the political tenure of the conversation? australia has two houses, the lower and upper house. house, ther government of the day will have to negotiate or deal with a number of minor parties. the greens have representation. has a seatical party in the lower house. there are a number of independents as well. they will become crucial if neither major party can get to 76 by themselves. let's say that is done. the real challenge for the next government will be the senate, which has a number of new and old faces. pauline hanson was a prominent figure in the late 1990's, she re-won a seat in the senate. , ahave a media personality number of right-wing , they arebased groups positioning themselves to win seats, so this will be a difficult next three years if such awe have government. angie: my question is whether or not this elevates the power of those minority voices. certainly. there's going to be an opportunity for all of these parties and independents to influence the government. traditionally australia has usually had a strong majority government, but they have always had to negotiate with cross benches in the senate. government for any now is the fact there are so many different voices in the senate. greens,right-wing, social democrats, a range of tople that really have yet declare their policies as well on a range of issues, so that is where the challenge lies. getting any major reforms to the senate is going to be impossible in some ways. angie: hard to get business done. i guess that's why we are looking at a credit rating cut. the question is about malcolm turnbull, will he survive? an unmitigatedn disaster for mr. turnbull, who of course was able to get the liberal party leadership in a coup in september last year. his promise was not to change any policies, but his promise was that he was a more popular leader than tony abbott and would lead the coalition government. he has not been able to do that. he is severely weaken, and a lot of his supporters and those within the liberal party who backed his cause are now saying -- very upset with this result. angie: let's say they are able to cobble a coalition party. can this government survive? if we have history as a guide, it is not impossible for a government to survive for three years and a minority situation. ,e have had that at some states so they can go for the three year time span, but that is provided they can satisfy the policy demands of those cross benches. the last time around, it was the greens and independents that gave labor the ability to govern. this time it is unclear to who and what demands they will make on the government of the day. that is where the question is, but if we can assume they make political decisions that satisfy these cross benches, the government can stand for the next three years. angie: what is the critical next step? >> to see how the counting progresses and how the votes progress. what we are expecting is that by thursday or friday next week, this week, we will have a clear understanding of how many seats have been one. once that is clarified, we will leaderss by the party to court those cross benches and try to get them on board. angie: we will leave it there. thank you so much for joining us. coming up, bumpy ride, why traders are betting the company known as the craig's list of china faces a rough road ahead. this is bloomberg. ♪ angie: this is "trending business". wasyears ago bitauto attracting support from hedge funds. thise have a look at why one time tech darling has hit the brakes. it seems investors feel it is underwhelming. haidi: this despite bitauto being a name included in the msci indices. things have worsened. two years ago, the stock surged , up 340% in 2013. tiger management made a $600 million wager for 15% in the company. it then reduced at stake 20% within a year. that's when things started to fall apart. this blue line here on the chart is where the stock price starts falling towards the end of 2015. we are also seeing this diversions. we are still seeing bear bets on it increase. the natureshow you of the investor interest in the company now. if you take a look at this white line, we see the divergence with those their bets climbing to a record high last week. a are saying this and tense five given that we are seeing a down, but also the company spending a lot of money in terms of how they are maintaining competitiveness against their major competitor. we are also seeing a potential drop in revenue, and listening if drop from 63% last year to 35% this year, falling further to 21% in 2017. islysts are saying that this essentially a case of a company that has not performed according to expectations. aboutors are undecided what they have managed to achieve versus the hype. angie: also, the economic slowdown, right?

to me it has been clear for years that the chinese banks have a massive nonperforming loan problem. the bailout has already started. the local government debt swap last year effectively was recapitalization of the banks by taking off future bad loans and swapping them for government bonds, so you can see the government is well aware they have a problem and they are already taking measures to solve the problem. yes, you might get a former bailout at some point in the future, but to make him the bailout began last year. angie: are you seeing liquidity seizing up in china? no, i don't think liquidity is seizing up. there seems to be an abundance of liquidity. this is the problem. the banks are throwing good money after bad, keep lending more money to distressed taking theo avoid debt write-down, recognizing the nonperforming loan. you can keep the wheels turning for quite a long time if you are prepared to protect the banks them to makeallow more bad lending decisions. that seems to be pretty much an explicit policy in china. angie: i guess let's see how foreign investors react to that ultimately. we will leave it there. thank you so much for that. still up, hanergy suspended from trade, but its parent company is thinking big. that is next. this is bloomberg. ♪ angie: are you ready for cloud anxiety?

this is a production by economists. the prediction from them is china will have to bail out its banks to the tune of $500 bi then u.s. dollars within next two years. some of the number far higher, $3 trillion. he reckoned china would need a $10 trillion bailout. there's mounting concern about china's bailout power. missedt 11 firms have payments on sure this year, that is more than all 2015. it then shut up more than 40%. it made up about 1.75%, that is equal to around $2010 billion u.s. dollars. many are skeptical about that data and city true scale is likely to be far higher. pboc beent has the saying here and could a bailout be good news in the long-term? tom: they had been issuing statements of calm. boc released a report last month and they said the banks here are able to maintain their relatively high capital levels even if they are hit by severe shocks. systemics pushing banks to up their capital ratios to 11.5% by 2018. that is one step in which they could try to reassure the markets. but the market are trying to price and the potential losses and in terms of evaluations, china's biggest banks are trading well below their peers. the bailout with it -- hit china's markets. an uptick into see china's borrowing costs. a rescue would be positive and we have seen this before in china's history, china bailout its banks in the 1990's when they hit 40%. the recapitalize and set up a state run bad bank. it was largely seen as successful. the question now is how exactly the government would implement a bailout and when they would pull the trigger on it?

>> there are two things that have focused attention on it again. one was an article in may personse authoritative said china needs to tackle its bad debt. the other thing are high estimates from analysts as to what they think a true bad debt level is. 15% to 19% bad loan ratio when the official number is less than 2%. we areat the bottom starting to see defaults of loans, then it builds and builds and builds. at some point, a l out might he likely. -- a bailout might be likely. how likely? depends on how aggressive the government wants to be in tackling it. there is disagreement on how high the bad loan level is. angie: kyle bass things he could be a $10 trillion bailout. >> kyle bass talks about chinese banks losing $3.5 trillion in assets. sliding 30%, so he talks about a fairly extreme scenario. contrast to kyle bass, some analysts think the bad lane higher, loan ratio is so there is no agreement on what the real bad loan level is. then there is the question of analysts sometimes talking about the chinese government being in extend and pretend mode. it does not want to deal with the bad debt situation, but rather the banks keep on rolling and will deal with the problem later and hopefully we will grow out of it. so there is no real sign that the government will act, so analysts are forecasting something to happen within two years. that is forecasting a big change in the government's attitude. angie: there are two options, bail out or grow out of it, but it is china slowing down. at some point, how long will that patience last and it defaults to a possible bailout here? >> that is true if the bad debts are as bad as some analysts estimate. angie: can china afford such a bailout? >> that is one thing that all the analysts are agreed on, that china has the capacity to deal with it, that the money is there. angie: that is the expectation. thank you for monitoring that for us. isna's postal savings bank pressing ahead with its $8 billion ipo despite recent market turmoil. the listing is expected to be the world's a guest this year. what is driving this ipo? >> i suppose they could have taken better timing. in fact, one thing they will face is reaching a price of at least one times price to book. they did a private offering last year that got them one times price-to-book, but if you look at all the other banks in china listed in hong kong, they all trade below book value. there is a requirement by the chinese regulator that chinese banks cannot sell shares to foreigners unless they are at least at book by you. -- book value. the bad loan ratio keeps growing , and that is probably affecting the postal savings bank as well. they have a low capital ratio compared to their peers. they were around 9.6%, meaning ir equity is subordinated to bad debt. one of the reasons they might be doing this equity offering is they need more capital. angie: ok, they need more apital, but is this likely problem of nonperforming loans or something else? bestey are one of the seated when it comes to nonperforming loans. they have the lowest nonperforming loan ratio among the big thanks in china. while that is not the biggest problem, it is still a problem because nonperforming loans in china are going up, so whether you are at 0.65%, which is supposedly what the postal savings bank is, or 1.7%, which is what the other big banks are, or 10%, which is what kyle bass says, the truth is that the trend is up. if the trend is up, the more nonperforming loans you have, the less capital you have technically or the more capital you need, so they need more capital. they raised some equity last year and a private placement. think they would do many more capital raisings, because as they bring their capital structure back to 11.5%, the capital adequacy ratio required to have by 2019, they will need a lot more equity. well, the timing may be good after all, especially if you have such a pessimistic outlook as to the environment around you at some point in the future. that is a great point. thank you so much for that. let's check in on some other stories we are following. rio tinto's new ceo says he will pause on new mergers and acquisitions to focus on steering the company through mining's downturn. jean-sebastien jacques says new deals are "not top of the agenda." he will instead develop existing projects and cut costs. rio tinto is battling a slowdown in china, creating a supply glut. at rio tinto, it has decided to shelve plans to develop the world's biggest iron ore deposit. jean-sebastien jacques telling the times newspaper that the $20 expensive,ject is not really the right time to expand operations, he says. pop in new guinea's government has recently claimed that rio tinto was too slow with its plans. the national bank of abu dhabi is creating a regional powerhouse of assets worth one and $75 billion. shareholders will hold 52% of the combined entity, but will operate under the national bank of abu dhabi name. it will allow the lender to better compete with rivals such as qatar national bank. let's check back in on how markets have responded to the uncertainty of the australian election outcome. us indoes this leave australia? how is the business of doing business going to get done here? >> good morning. certainly the result is still unknown. been closerinly than most had anticipated, although the polls are predicting very close to 50-50. there might have been some sentiment, and the betting agencies might have given the coalition a slight upper hand, so unfortunately we will be very close. we have to wait until tuesday or wednesday for a final result. it does look like the conservatives may just get a majority in their own right, but bit ofse will also be a a battlefield for them to negotiate legislation through. is almost ay, this return to the 2010 time for legislators, and certainly for austrian business. angie: i guess it is not something that you are not used to. this is very familiar to investors here, but of course this time what we are staring at is a aaa rating cut. we are not concerned by that. clearly agencies will be watching closely, particularly around whoever comes in and governs. what they will be doing in terms of the budget and budget deficit, but that has been on the table for quite some time. our budget at deficit as a percentage of the gdp, it is still one of the lowest in the oecd, but ratings ensuringwant to keep that deficit does not blow out, so there will be lots of warnings, but we feel reasonably comfortable in terms of total debt and the budget deficit component that that aaa rating is not at risk. angie: let's talk about the broader market. msci asia-pacific regional ,enchmark at levels pre-brexit completely discounting the possibility -- well, the absolute likelihood that it will leave the eu. is that fair? is it sustainable? it is an interesting to see how markets have rebounded so strongly. if you look at any long-term volatility chart, we do see spikes, clearly a very big spike on concerns of global growth, and a similar spike, although not to the same extent, through the brexit vote with a strong rebound. i'm not so sure the markets are saying they will not leave brexit. there is so much unknown in plan.s to that exit as a result, we would expect to see ongoing volatility, although surely the pace will surely subside. that's not to say we don't take it seriously. clearly we do. we have downgraded our outlook for the u.k. economy, literally lving it to 1%, but we don't see it going to reception. to europe, .2 of 1% down 1.6% growth for europe, so a slowing of growth and we will be watching that closely, but we don't see as big a risks as markets might have been forecasting when markets were down 6% in europe. you are notay counting in a risk of recession, why not? is it central-bank action that will help buffer some of the problems there? >> i think it is twofold, we are certainly expecting central banks, who have been well prepared for either outcome on brexit, will be accommodated in terms of policy settings, but don't forget the trade links remain. it is not as if business has suddenly stopped. business will continue, albeit consumers and british business will delay investment plans, but are still expecting to see growth around that 1% level for britain in 2017, so we don't see it falling off a cliff, but definitely slowing. angie: and volatility persisting. thank you so much for joining us live from sydney. next, lessons to be learned. we will look at what the uk's retreat means for asean. that story is coming up next. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> 10:47 a.m. in hong kong. the latest first word headlines. in court have appeared in connection with last week's attack on istanbul airport. in the attack, which no one has claimed responsibility, although turkey blames islamic state. inpeople have been detained connection with the attack. china warns of severe flooding after days of torrential rain. ishorities say flood control obese have been improved, but rising water levels pose a serious threat. a reservoir is already overflowing with 70,000 people at risk if the dam collapses. has completed a stake of $1.3 billion in kuka. kuka executives back the deal confirm jobs will be safe until the end of 2023. they will expand production in china and move into household robots. global news 24 hours a day powered by over 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. this is bloomberg. angie: the historic referendum in the u.k. may hold a lesson for the asean. they have been moving closer in recent years, but brexit may mean it made now be forced to consider the views of ordinary people more than ever. asianutheast orso correspondent has been watching this. brexit seen as a warning here. >> pretty much. time for asean to think about what it once to do now. asean faces the risk of becoming a project of the elite. indonesia's trade minister said exactly that, and says not enough time, not enough money, not enough effort being spent on socializing it to the people, the people that asean is supposed to be serving. asean launched a single market this year, 10 countries, $600 million -- six and a million people. these countries are at different stages of development. asean has managed to remove tariff barriers between members, a charter for regional integration. nontariffs to remove barriers to trade before 2025. the thing to remember is that the integration process has not been easy, has not been without its challenges. angie: how closely has asean tailored itself to the eu anyway? a you can say the eu has been source of inspiration for asean, but we have to be very clear here. on several occasions, asean did say that the eu is not the model it has adopted. the modelnted to being unrealistic and utopian, and brexit serves as a warning. to be careful, that is what one political observer said. angie: isn't it the case that asean has also faced internal dissent?
