Good morning, I'm do Prisoner and I'm Brian Curtis. 18 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: Here are the stories we're following today. The White House 19 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: is considering cutting off Huawei technologies from all of its 20 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: American suppliers. Four years ago, the Trump administration limited sales 21 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: by US companies when Huawei was added to the US 22 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: Entity List out of national security concerns, but now officials 23 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: in the Biden administration are calling for an outright ban. 24 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: It's not clear how soon the administration would act on 25 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: this kind of policy change. We're told that the discussions 26 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: are still at an early stage. Officials said that timing 27 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: could coincide with the anniversary of Huawei's addition to the 28 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: Entity list in May. There was no comment today from 29 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: either the National Security Council or the Commerce Department. Well, 30 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, two pm Wall Street time, we will have 31 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: a FED rate decision. The goals seems to be dialing 32 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: back on the nature of how a rest with the 33 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: FED has been in its fight against inflation, without signaling 34 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: a readiness to stop entirely. Now, despite the rates that 35 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: we have seen last year, the rate hikes, I should say, 36 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: financial conditions are at the weakest level that they have 37 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: been in about eleven months. Somewhat hard to believe. And 38 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: now the f O m C seems to be worried 39 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: that markets maybe missing the message. Paul Krugman is Nobel Laureate. 40 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: We spoke with him earlier. I'm a little worried that 41 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: the markets may be getting ahead of themselves. I mean, 42 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: I'm I'm a big inflation dove. I'm still basically I 43 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: believe that that inflation is going to come down. But 44 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: the degree of certainty uh that we're seeing in the 45 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: market is the degree of certainty I'm seeing in financial 46 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: newsletters that inflation is behind us. That makes me nervous. 47 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: That is economist Paul Krugman. By the way, the market 48 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: is expecting the Fed to raise rates by a quarter point, 49 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: so we would have the target for the Fed Funds 50 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: and Arrange of four and a half to four and 51 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: three quarter percent. And as you know, Brian, last month 52 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: we were up a half point following four consecutive seventy 53 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: five basis point rate hikes. So it's a little difficult 54 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: to know exactly where we are there and also in China, 55 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: but listen to this. Boeing is set to add a 56 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: fourth assembly line for its seven thirty seven Max in 57 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: a move to capitalize on growing demand for narrow body jets. 58 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: The work will come satisfactory in Everett, Washington, and it's 59 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: expected to start in the second half of four The 60 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: decision comes on the heels of an optimistic outlook for 61 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: China travel, as reopening propels passengers back to the skies. 62 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: According to Boeing's vice president of Commercial Marketing Darren Holst, 63 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: air travel worldwide was back to seventy seven percent of 64 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen levels in December. Those numbers are expected to 65 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: rise to by the end of June as China's travelers returned. 66 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: Holst reiterated the playmakers expectations that airlines will need roughly 67 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: aircraft over the next twenty years to meet demand and 68 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: replace aging planes, and he says that China will be 69 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: a major driver of orders. Malaysia State owned Investment Fund 70 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: one MDB was supposed to promote economic development, but instead 71 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: it spurred a global multibillion dollars scandal, and now Malaysian 72 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: Prime Minister on War Ebram is calling out Goldman Sacks 73 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: to honor the settlement for its role in this ordeal. 74 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: I think Woldman's sex to come out clean and and 75 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: and deal with militia and don't don't think that you can, 76 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: you know, dismiss this as something um small that you 77 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: can just use your strength to dictate your terms now. 78 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: An agreement reached back in July called for Goldman to 79 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: pay two and a half billion dollars in exchange for 80 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: Malaysia to drop its charges. Goldman was also asked to 81 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: return one point four billion dollars of one MDB assets 82 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,799 Speaker 1: that were seized by authorities around the globe. Now. According 83 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: to of filing from Goldman last year, the current issue 84 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: remains over an August two payment deadline. At that time 85 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: for the filing, Goldman stated the party has had three 86 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: months to resolve this dispute. The matter will now head 87 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: to arbitration if no resolution is reached. Briefly, copper prices 88 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: lower as investors reassess the outlook for demand in China. 89 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: More from Bloomberg's Anibal Jewelers. Bloomberg's index of early Chinese 90 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: economic indicators shows a slight uptick, but copper has been 91 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: constrained as China's home sales during the holiday period fell 92 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: four from a year earlier. Sentiment has now turned more 93 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: cautious as investors trying to gauge the health of the 94 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: recovery a note from gin Ray Futures said China's economic 95 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: recovery will continue, but Kappa has already priced in some 96 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: of the more recent macro bullishness. It's trading a relatively 97 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: high levels, which increases the risk of a pullback in 98 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: Hong Kong. I'm Annibal Rulers Bloomberg Daybreak Asian coming up 99 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: on Global News. Final preparations are being put on high 100 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: level US China talks later this week at Baxter with 101 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: more from the Bloomberg Newsroom in San Francisco. Eddie, Yeah, 102 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: exactly right. Douglas U s Secretary of State, and today 103 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: Blincoln is traveling to Beijang. It's been billboarded as a 104 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: major conversation. Asia Society Institute Vice President Wendy Cutler on 105 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,119 Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Balance of power today, says, very important first step 106 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: going forward. What's the most disturbing is how little engagement 107 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: there has been between officials. And when there's little engagement, 108 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: then there's little prospects for cooperation in those areas where 109 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: either we need to cooperate because it's in the public good, 110 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: or it's in our interest to avoid a military conflict 111 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: or a military incident. Cutler says in the benefit of 112 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: both sides to talk, but at the same time, we 113 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: should not expect that a major breakthroughs Again, that's the 114 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: end of the week, within the week. Blincoln meanwhile, as 115 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: an Israel today, saying the US commitment to Israel has 116 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: never wavered, but peace in the region will only come 117 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: with a two state commitment. We continue to believe the 118 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: best way to achieve it is through preserving and then 119 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: realizing division of two states. Yeah, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 120 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: that Yahoo mean, while says on the top of the 121 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: list and cooperation, is it wrong? I think there's a 122 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: common consensus that this regime must not acquire nuclear weapons, 123 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: and that Yaho says it has to be stopped at 124 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: all costs. Meanwhile, a drone hit in an Iranian advanced 125 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: weapons production facility today Wall Street Journal reporting it was 126 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: an Israeli drone. Beijing has reacted angrily after reports that 127 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: the check President elect Peter Pavo called Taiwanese President Sim 128 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: Wang over the weekend to discuss their shared values of 129 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: democracy and human rights. China says it is considering blacklisting 130 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: Check made products and making them largely unable to clear 131 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: Chinese customs. Meanwhile, China's warning how speaker Kevin McCarthy not 132 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: to repeat Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan. Well, we're starting 133 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: to see signs of an accelerating electric vehicle price war 134 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: in the US. TESTA went first and Forward is cutting 135 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: forty dollars off it's Mocke Mustang version. But Bloomberg's Ed 136 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: Ludlow says, as you move up the scale, the most 137 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: significant cuts are at the higher end. The GT Extended 138 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: range has a price trim of fifty dollars, and so 139 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: that actually starts to indicate that this might be more 140 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: about getting those vehicles in line with the i ra 141 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: A requirements for seventy federal credit or discount. It also 142 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: says you could have to do with the fact that 143 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: the chip supply is better now, so the supply demand 144 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: ratio for consumers may tip more to the buyer for 145 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: it also has at a discounted financing and an effort 146 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: to boost sales. White House are our US House speaker 147 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy is going to the White House on Wednesday, 148 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: he says, to talk about the debt ceiling. But Bloomberg's 149 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: Jennie Schanzeno says, the White House has been firm on 150 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: its position on the debt ceiling. They keep to their 151 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: point that they are not going to negotiate on the 152 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: debt ceiling. I think what they'd really like to do 153 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: on the debt ceiling is have the Republicans come forward 154 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: with where they want to cut spending. McArthur has said 155 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: that he's open to talks about raising the death ceiling, 156 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: but that he wants guaranteed caps on spending. So we'll 157 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: see how this plays out. On Wednesday in San Francisco, 158 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: I'm at Baxter. This is Bloomberg. This is Bloomberg day 159 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: Break Asia. I'm Brian Curtis along with Rashad Salama, and 160 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: our guest is on Witty Bahoganah, head of multi assets 161 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: strategy at Columbia thread Needle Investments. And what we just 162 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: heard those comments from Paul Krugman, which are all the 163 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: more interesting since he is at Dove. But as a 164 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: counter to that, HSBC is predicting that the Fed will 165 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: will change course this year and will cut quite significantly, 166 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: cutting as soon as recession uh you know, is apparent. 167 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: HSPC is looking for a full percentage point in in 168 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: cuts and that's double the market Right now, the swaps 169 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: market sees just fifty basis points of a cut. Your 170 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: thoughts on that. How do you see the FED moving? Hey, Brian, 171 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: thank you for having me in a very happy new year. 172 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: Lots of debate in the market about production and really 173 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: um you specified just now with the market is expecting. 174 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: You know, I suspect the FED stays on hold this 175 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: year if the soft landing scenario um comes through and 176 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: the other scenario, which is recession, would actually be very 177 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: much in line with what HSDC is thinking. If there 178 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: is inter pocession, they're likely to cut and quite aggressively, 179 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: not just fifty basis points. Well, yeah, that's quite a 180 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: cool actually, but you know when did that happen? And 181 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: you know we've got three central banks. You know, we've 182 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: got the Bank of England and then then the ECB 183 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: and the FED. As we've been talking about what other 184 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: separate narratives here, So which that's an excellent question. I 185 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: would say that, you know, market grappling with three different 186 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: narratives when it comes to growth and inflation going forward. 187 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: We just talked about of this the session scenario and 188 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: the soft landing where we have, you know, inflation come 189 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: coming down without a mass of it to growth. And 190 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: the other scenario out there is the scenario where growth 191 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: actually re accelerate and or that inflation re accelerates, and 192 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: that's what Yeah, that's what Kuipman was saying. But you know, 193 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: out of the last thirteen FED hiking cycles, the average 194 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: time in between the last hike and the first cut 195 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: is five months five months, and in six of the 196 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: thirteen cycles the time was two months or less. So 197 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: I think that investors would be wise to think about 198 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: that before pillering the bond market for suggesting a cut 199 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: later this year. And indeed HSBC is full one percentage 200 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: point exactly. And I think if you think about the 201 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: fact that market bond markets are sort of reflecting probabilities, 202 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: then the part of the market it doesn't expect any 203 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: cuts would would you know, would expect things to stay flat, 204 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: whereas the HSBC sort of scenarios would expect the cut 205 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: and are finding probabilities that waited to have, which is 206 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: actually what the swop curves are reflecting. All right, so 207 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: let's have a look at what all this really played 208 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: it plays out on markets. I mean, we've had so 209 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: much euphoria at the start of this year equity wise, 210 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: you know, we know the risks to all of that 211 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: becoming a damp squibt I eat a real recession of course, 212 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: also a geopolitics, but would actually turn around for the 213 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: dollar and strength for the dollar also be a big, 214 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: big how can I say a headwind absolutely, I mean 215 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: that was the scenario all of last year. The shot. 216 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. If the dollar, you know, takes off 217 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: again like it did, most of that would be a 218 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: growth dampener globally. It's seen that happened again and again 219 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: in the past, and in the last three months or 220 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: so we've had dollar correct about ten percent. I'm talking 221 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: to d X y here um, which has really helped 222 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: the sentiment globally. We've seen the rally in the developed 223 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: market x US and E M far supart s apart 224 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: any of the enthusiasm you've seen in the US markets 225 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: and always been a huge factor in that M So 226 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: we'll get the jobs data this week now. If we 227 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: get a negative print on jobs seems unlikely, but it's possible. 228 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure it would embarrass the Fed right after a hike, 229 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: But how do you think the market would respond that's 230 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: a very interesting question, Brian. I think I would say 231 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: that the bond market would you know, the treasury and 232 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: the sort of safer parts of the bone market would 233 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: rarely hard because that would price out any more hikes, 234 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: because a recession seems more likely. You know, the soft 235 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: data has been calling for that, but we haven't seen 236 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: it any of the hard data. Um. The equity picture 237 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: is a little bit mixed, you know. Um, so far 238 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: the correlation has been that both equities and bonds have 239 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: moved quite together, and in this is the one scenario 240 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: where when we see growth downgrades, I think equities might 241 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: not do quite as well as the bonds. Right, So 242 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: this brings us nice and you ready to talk about 243 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: whether you think that this momentum faquities can continue now 244 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: and if so, is it time to be loading up 245 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: on risk or is it time to probably take stock 246 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: part of the punk so I, you know, our positioning 247 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: is actually sort of what I would call barbelled. We 248 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: we love taking risk in emerging markets at this point. Um, 249 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: that's one area where we see quite a scope for 250 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: growth recovery. So e M has done quite well Richard 251 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: in the last two three months already, But Most of 252 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: it has been sort of multiple expansion in anticipation for 253 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: better earnings growth and better um economic growth. And if 254 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: that does come through, then I would say there is 255 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: more room in e M markets for more repricing of 256 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: a better growth scenario. The other side of it is 257 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: they also own a lot of treasuries because I think 258 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: the recession risk is real. Also, it's interesting how you 259 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: read China, so you can give me that because you're 260 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: on year and you're to date kind of squishy, but 261 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: last week pretty good. Yeah. You know, I've never seen 262 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: our China analyst as bullish as of late. And you know, 263 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: really the new year is starting UM policy wise quite nicely. 264 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: There there is some impact finally, of all the property 265 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: developed measures they had taken last year, some of them 266 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: are bearing fruit now. UM and monetary policy and credit 267 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: policy is all supposed to be very supportive. At the 268 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: same time, the draconian COVID policy have all been put aside, 269 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: So we are quite bullish in China.
