I wouldn't say everything was discussed because of 20 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 3: the thing said probably in retrospect. We could have discussed, 21 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 3: and we did, for some reason didn't come up. 22 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: Trump went on to say that the deal will also 23 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: see China resume soybean purchases and pause its rare earth 24 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: licensing regime for at least a year. The US president 25 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: has said the rated that he rated the meeting twelve 26 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: out of ten, and that he planned to travel to 27 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: China next April, with she due to visit the US 28 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 2: later in twenty twenty six.

Now after his meeting with China, 31 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: g Trump also told reporters that leaders discussed artificial intelligence semiconductors. 32 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 3: We did discuss Jimson. He's going to be they're going 33 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 3: to be talking to Navidia and others about taking chips 34 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 3: if we make great chips, and Navidio is the leader, 35 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 3: and I'll be speaking to Jensen from Davidia, but they're 36 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 3: going to be discussing that with Davidia to see whether 37 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 3: or not they can do. I say, that's really between 38 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 3: you and Davidia, But we're sort of the arbitrator of 39 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: the referee. 40 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: However, the US President made clear he was not open 41 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: to giving Beijing access to Nvidia's most advanced Blackwell processors. 42 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: The comments came less than twenty four hours after in 43 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: Vidia each day historic five trillion dollar market capitalization.

The world's most valuable 48 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 2: startup is said to be targeting evaluation of one trillion 49 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: dollars is Some of the world's biggest tech companies reported 50 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: strong earnings, but investors are instead focusing on their spending 51 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 2: on AI. Revenues at Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta all beat 52 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: estimates in the last quarter. Together, the firms racked up 53 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 2: some seventy eight billion dollars in capital expenditures last quarter, 54 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: up eighty nine percent from a year earlier. Meta also 55 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: warns that it's spending in twenty twenty six would be 56 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: notably larger than this year. Kurt Wagner is Bloomberg's senior 57 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: technology reporter. 58 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: If you were sitting here, you know, trying to get 59 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: comfortable with this idea that Meta is throwing tens of 60 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: billions per year, hundreds of billions over the next decade 61 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: on AI. You probably were hoping that the Q four 62 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: numbers were going to be a home run, right, not 63 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: just an inline sort of we'll do what we said 64 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: we were going to do. You want that to be 65 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: a lot larger if you're going to hear that the 66 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: spending is going to ramp up as dramatically as it 67 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: will in twenty twenty. 68 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: Six, Kurt Wagner speaking there as Meta's share is declined 69 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: by over seven percent and after hours trading. Microsoft shares 70 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: fell by four percent in after hours, as the software 71 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: giant warned it still suffering from a computing capacity crunch 72 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: shared in alphabet. Meanwhile, where the bright Spot up by 73 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: seven percent post market. Let's take you through some of 74 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: the bank's reporting earnings this morning.

Net income increased 79 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 2: by eleven percent to one point five two billion euros, 80 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 2: well ahead of what analysts were estimating. It was helped 81 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: by lower costs and declining credit provisions. Standard Charters has 82 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: raised its outlook for income and returns as it reported 83 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 2: third quarter profits the beat estimates. The Asia focused lenders 84 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: performance was boosted by a record quarter for wealth solutions. 85 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 2: It saw adjusted pre tax profits rise to just under 86 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 2: two billion dollars. We've also been hearing from Spain's bb 87 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: reporting net income for the third quarter that met average 88 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: analyst estimates, coming in just above two and a half 89 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 2: billion euros net income slightly better than had been expected 90 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: at six point sixty four billion euros as well. This 91 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 2: is the first set of results from BBVA since it's 92 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 2: nineteen billion dollar offer for rival Sabadell collapsed when it 93 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: was rejected by shareholders. Federal Reserve charg Jerown Powell as 94 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 2: warned investors against assuming policymakers will cut rates again in December. 95 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 2: That's after they voted ten to two for a quarter 96 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 2: point percentage cut on Wednesday. Speaking after the decision, Pals said, 97 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: the Center Bank's next move is not assured. 98 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 4: At a time when we have tension between our two goals. 99 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 4: We have strong views across the committee, and as I mentioned, 100 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 4: there were strongly differing views today and the takeaway from 101 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 4: that is that we haven't made a decision about December. 102 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: After Jerome Poal's remarks, investors paired their expectations of a 103 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 2: cut in December to around to seventy percent chance. That's 104 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: down from over ninety percent from before we heard from 105 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 2: the Fed chair. The UK's Prime Minister Cure Starmer has 106 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 2: refused to rule out major tax hikes in next month's budget. 107 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: When asked by the Conservative leader Kemmy Badenock if he'd 108 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 2: keep his pledge not to raise income tax, national insurance 109 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: or VAT, Starmer sought to blame her record in office. 110 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 5: The tourist did even more damage to the economy. Could 111 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 5: we previously saw? How we will turn that around. 112 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: The shift in language comes as economists see few alternatives 113 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 2: to hire taxes as the growth has been too temper 114 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: to restore the public finances. When earlier in the year, 115 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: Starmer was asked the same question by Badenoch, he'd simply 116 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: answered yes. This comes as a new survey of small 117 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 2: businesses shows confidence slumping ahead of the budget next month. 118 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 2: In the Netherlands, the progressive Democrats sixty six party appears 119 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: on track to win the Dutch parliament entry election after 120 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 2: voters delta blow to Catfielder's far out Freedom Party. According 121 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 2: to a preliminary forecast published by the Dutch news agency AMP, 122 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: based on half of the votes being counted, d sixty 123 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: six is set to win twenty seven seats in the 124 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty seat House of Representatives, with the 125 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: Freedom Party poised to win twenty five. That would be 126 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: a loss of twelve seats. The result would put Democrats 127 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: sixty six leader Rob Jetton in a position to form 128 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: a coalition government and potentially become the country's next prime minister. 129 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 5: Those are your top stories.

We saw that drop in support 142 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: for the far right. But another story that we've been 143 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: reading this morning as well, what would convince you to 144 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: change your takeaway coffee order to sit in. This is 145 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: a mission that Starbucks has been on and Arcolic red 146 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 2: Brand has been writing about it. He's been looking at 147 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: data from placer dot ai, which shows the share of 148 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: visits of longer than ten minutes to Starbucks outlets has shrunk. 149 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 2: Since the current CEO, Brian Nickel, took over in September 150 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, it's been on a drive. Starbucks has 151 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 2: to try and speed up drinks orders and also return 152 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 2: cafes to the warm, cozy, comfortable environment. That's a quote 153 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 2: that were the company's original vision. Now that involves some redecorating, 154 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: but also putting back in soft furnishings the chain had 155 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: taken out and the same store sales did turn positive 156 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 2: at Starbucks last quarter, so that's a win. But There 157 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 2: is some concern too about the cost of these renovations. 158 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: That's been a big focus as well as the lenders 159 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 2: or the coffee outlet is also speeding up serving times 160 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 2: as well. Eighty percent of its strengths now served in 161 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: less than four minutes, so that is an improvement for 162 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: them as they've been beefing up staffing as well. Very 163 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: interesting to watch the strategy though, I was trying to 164 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: encourage people to stay but also get them their drinks faster. 165 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 2: To know which would encourage me in which direction. You 166 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 2: can read Red brandspiece on Bloomberg dot com and we'll 167 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 2: put a link to it on our podcast show Notes. 168 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 2: Let's bring you more now on what Donald Trump and 169 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 2: shooting being discussed during their ninety minute meeting.

Donald Trump has been very positive 173 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: about this meeting, announcing the reduction in tariffs on Chinese goods. 174 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: Take us through the key headlines that we learned from 175 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 2: the meeting. 176 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, so Donald Trump obviously wants to head back to 177 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 6: the United States, which he is on Air Force one 178 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 6: now heading back to Washington, DC, and to declare victory 179 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 6: essentially that they met the goals and they had a 180 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 6: very successful nearly week in Asia. He called the meeting 181 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 6: was hijenping here in Bussan this morning, which lasted about 182 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 6: an hour of forty minutes, was amazing, he said. He 183 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 6: actually went as far as to say on a scale 184 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 6: of zero to ten, he depicted it as a twelve, 185 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 6: So quite optimistic that this was a good meeting and 186 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 6: could be a springboard for more discussions. Obviously, I mean 187 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 6: the big takeaway, well, there's two takeaways. Really a lot 188 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 6: of the talks centered around fednyl, but the markets are 189 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 6: kind of not cheering it because there wasn't It was 190 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 6: more about what wasn't discussed between she and Trump that 191 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 6: the markets are reacting to. I can talk about that 192 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 6: in a little bit, but the key takeaway is that 193 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 6: the US will cut US FEEDNOL related tariffs by half 194 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 6: back to the original ten percent premium that they had 195 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 6: put on, and of course, you know subsequently over the 196 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 6: last six months they increase that to twenty percent because 197 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 6: of inaction by the Chinese. So he's basically cutting that 198 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 6: back to the original tariff that he had added to 199 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 6: Chinese goods because in action by the Chinese on fedel. 200 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 6: He says, she will take concrete steps to stop the 201 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 6: flow of those precursors, the chemicals that go in to fedanyl. 202 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 6: And the other thing is China, you know, will resume 203 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 6: soybean purchases, what Donald Trump says, a tremendous amount of soybeans, 204 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 6: and also pauses where Earth's licensing regime for at least 205 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 6: a year. We still haven't gotten the Chinese readout of 206 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 6: the top cell. 207 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 2: Okay, so we wait that with interest. But let's talk 208 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: about what we didn't learn from the meeting. What areas 209 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 2: weren't a supposed don't appear to have seen progress. 210 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 6: Well, you know, maybe Donald Trump did himself a disservice 211 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 6: yesterday by kind of outlining what he thinks could have 212 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,599 Speaker 6: transpired today and then didn't because yesterday the issue of 213 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 6: Nvidia Blackwell chips being possibly available, maybe that's something that's 214 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 6: on the table. He can make it available to China now, 215 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 6: he says, Blackwell those are the most advanced AI accelerators 216 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 6: from Nvidia. They were not part of the discussions today, 217 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 6: even though she and Trump did talk about access to 218 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 6: some of the other products from Nvidia, but keep in 219 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 6: mind it's China that blocked the lower level AI chips 220 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 6: from Nvidia, the Age twenty that was approved for export 221 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 6: license to China, but then China said it's a security threat. 222 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 6: Possibly we don't want it. So I'm not sure exactly. 223 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 6: We need to get a better readout from the Chinese 224 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 6: or the further readout from Commerce department or the negotiators 225 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 6: to see why Blackwell was not. 226 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 5: Part of this discussion. 227 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 6: Also, Taiwan was not discussed, and the sale of TikTok 228 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 6: was not either or at least it wasn't mentioned by 229 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 6: Trump in the readout on Air Force one. 230 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 2: Just thinking about the overall impression we can take from 231 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 2: this meeting, though we did see the images of the 232 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 2: handshake which all looked very cordial as well, and you know, 233 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: as you said, Donald Trump has been extremely positive in 234 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: the wrap up of this as well. Can we describe 235 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 2: this as being a turning point in the US China relationship? 236 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 5: Well, it's not getting worse. Is that a turning point? 237 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 6: Is that positive? I would say yes, because the last 238 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 6: six months have been pretty chaotic in the relationship between 239 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 6: China and the United States, with both sides trying to 240 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 6: you know, as a game of upsmanship. China finding that 241 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 6: it's rare earth curbs expert curbs really did work. It 242 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 6: was a lever of use to the Chinese. Also, not 243 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 6: buying any soybeans was useful to the Chinese because it 244 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 6: brought the United States to the table to talk about 245 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 6: those things. 246 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 5: And Chi Jinping alluded to that. 247 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 6: He says, you know, sizable nations like the United States 248 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 6: and China, the two biggest economies in the world, We're 249 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 6: not going to always see eye to eye. It's normal 250 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 6: to have friction between the two biggest economies, the two 251 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 6: biggest superpowers now and then. But even Chi Jinping and 252 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 6: those aping remark said we should stay the course. 253 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 5: We're going to continue to talk. 254 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 6: And he was the one that mentioned we've had three 255 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 6: phone calls since he's taken over again a second term. 256 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 6: They've exchanged letters. 257 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 5: I didn't know people still wrote letters. 258 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 6: And then he says we've been in close contact, so 259 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 6: there is a sense of. 260 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 5: A cautious camaraderie. 261 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: Is that a term, Well, I'm going to coin it 262 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 2: right now, okay, and we'll give you that as someone 263 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 2: who's been following this so closely. Stephen, thank you very 264 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 2: much for joining us. That's our chief North Asia correspondent 265 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 2: Steven Engel there speaking to us from Busan and South Korea, 266 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 2: where the two leaders met. 267 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 5: Stay with us. 268 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 2: More from Bloomberg Daybreak Europe coming up after this when 269 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: investors have been watching the Trump she meeting very closely 270 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: as well, but they've also been parsing the words from 271 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: Federal Reserve, charge your own Powell and where interest rates 272 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 2: in the US will go next. And of course we've 273 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 2: had some results too from the likes of the big 274 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: tech companies as well. Our Markets Live excit could have 275 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 2: editor Mark Codmore joins us now for more in all 276 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 2: of this, Well, let's start with the big political meeting. 277 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: We've just been discussing Trump and Cheesting Ping talking tariff 278 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: rates are coming down. How our market's taking all of that. 279 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 7: Mark a whole lot of noise, but ultimately just completely underwhelming. 280 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 5: We learned nothing new. 281 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 7: Everything that Trump announced was what they negotiated in Malaysia 282 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 7: earlier in the week, So yeah, at least he just confirmed, 283 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 7: but it wasn't like we got any fresh developments. 284 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 5: And I guess the only. 285 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 7: Thing was disappointing was that we didn't get the Blackwell 286 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 7: and video thing, which was kind of hinted at yesterday. 287 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 7: So like underwhelming to very marginal disappointment. There wasn't the 288 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 7: expectations aside, we haven't heard from the Chinese side, but 289 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 7: really a lot of hoople, a lot of noise, not 290 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 7: loads from this meeting. I think overall this week US 291 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 7: China has brought things forward because but I said, a 292 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 7: lot of that was ash came earlier in the week 293 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 7: rather than today's headline meeting. 294 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 2: I mean, there's quite a lot on a regular week. 295 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 2: I don't know when we last had one of those, 296 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 2: but on a regular week be quite a lot to 297 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 2: be competing for investors attention as well. So interesting to 298 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 2: see that underwhelming reaction from from markets to this part 299 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 2: of that story. Let's talk a bit about the FED, 300 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 2: though again would more usually be a bit more center stage. 301 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 2: Jerome Powell cartioning investors against assuming there would be a 302 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: cut in December, or investors listening to that. 303 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 7: Like, I mean, we saw obviously rate cut bets for 304 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 7: December paired back a little bit, but that's still the 305 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 7: base case is a cut there. 306 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 5: You know that they heeded it. 307 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 7: We saw a bit of a move and in yields yesterday, 308 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 7: but they're not going to care much in terms that 309 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 7: the blackout period now nds for other FED speakers will 310 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 7: get more FED speakers on top. Soon we'll get people, 311 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 7: you know, like Bowman out coming out saying, oh, we need. 312 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 5: Rate cuts, et cetera. 313 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 7: You know, if they don't get rate cut pricing back 314 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 7: in for December and might get Trump back on it. 315 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 7: The fact is they don't have much data. And while 316 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 7: Pale might be leading a cohort in the FED that 317 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 7: doesn't want to cut rates, and I'd be in that cohort, 318 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 7: I completely get it that the pressure from the market, 319 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 7: from the consensus from the administration is to continue cutting rates. 320 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 5: And I really I. 321 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 7: Think that the the the impetuses the on the data 322 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 7: to prove that that rate cut shouldn't be delivered. Sure, 323 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 7: we've changed pricing for December from above ninety percent to 324 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 7: like seventy percent or something that I haven't checked for 325 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 7: a few hours, but it's not a material move. 326 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can tell you it's currently seventy percent. Sixty 327 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 2: nine point seven percent is the chance. So we're looking 328 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 2: at the WRP function on the terminal. At the moment, 329 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: we've also had the Bank of Japan holding rates. The 330 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 2: ECB is also expects to hold rates later on today 331 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 2: as well. Is the central bank excitement over for now? 332 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 7: I mean, we've got some more to come, as you say, 333 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 7: But yes, I mean, actually I think I'm interested to 334 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 7: hear what you know, Governor Awada says. Bank of Japan 335 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 7: governor says later on, So that's coming up very soon. 336 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 7: That'll be interesting next week. Bank of England obviously might 337 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 7: be quite interesting. Probably more inched in the RBA next week. 338 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 7: So you got a little bit more such bank excitement. 339 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 7: But really the major game in town, I mean, I 340 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 7: think US China is important. But now we've got the 341 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 7: meeting and so far we'll wait for the China readout. 342 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 7: There hasn't been another incremental development there. So the only 343 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 7: major game in town is AI and that's why earnings 344 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 7: the moment are more important than. 345 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 5: What we see in that. 346 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 7: I do wonder whether you know the price action in 347 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 7: video got very excited, yesterda. We got that headline number 348 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 7: of five trillion market cap, which which brought back memories 349 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 7: to some of us have when we got the headline 350 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 7: about Microsoft reaching six d billion dollars market cap back 351 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 7: in the dot com bubble, that was like a week 352 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 7: before the top with you combine that with you know, 353 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 7: the jump hire and price, the disappointing price action, and 354 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 7: now that that Trump didn't deliver on hopes of Blackwell 355 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 7: chips been discussed with China. Maybe in video comes lower today, 356 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 7: So maybe stocks are a bit saugur in short term. 357 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 5: But really AI is dominating central banks at the moment. 358 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like on that point, what we heard from from 359 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 2: Alphabet and Meta Microsoft yesterday, this seventy eight billion dollars 360 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 2: figure in the last quarter. I mean, is there is 361 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 2: there nervousness that that's too much or that there's not 362 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 2: returns being delivered on those sorts of investment as well, 363 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 2: because I mean Master is promising that number is a 364 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 2: only going to increase completely. 365 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 7: There's nervousness and correctly so that the big issue though 366 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 7: is not like the vast majority of people in markets 367 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 7: would agree not I know, not everyone would agree that 368 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 7: we're somewhere in the AI capex bubble, but it's where 369 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 7: we're at. 370 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 5: Balls would argue, we're at the early stage. Again. 371 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 7: We talked about this in the show yesterday, the idea 372 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 7: of just because you identify a bubble, that's not necessarily bearish. 373 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 7: The best way to make money in the market is 374 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 7: to identify a bubble and get on board. And so 375 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 7: Balls would say, we're at the early stage. This is 376 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 7: like not an issue. You know, revenues are set to 377 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 7: keep on growing increasing, and you know we're a long 378 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 7: way from like playing. 379 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 5: Any kind of negative idea about this. 380 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 7: And the Bears would say, well, looked, as you know, 381 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 7: revenues aren't going to increase much mere in fact, adoption 382 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 7: is slowing. 383 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 5: We're seeing the signs of that. 384 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 7: And in fact, as these companies try to raise prices 385 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 7: to increase revenues, people are actually going to turn off adoption. 386 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 7: And so therefore it's just where we are on that 387 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 7: that bubble. I'm in the camp that we're we're not early, 388 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 7: but we're also not right at the end. But I'm 389 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 7: nervous about it because it is such a massive CAPEX bubble. 390 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 5: I don't know. 391 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 7: I'm completely open minded. I will be ready to change 392 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 7: my mind in this in a moment if I get 393 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 7: as I get new information, as you get more earnings. 394 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 7: But my base case assumption right now is that the 395 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 7: bubble bursting is for twenty twenty six and not for 396 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 7: right now. 397 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 2: Okay, Mark godmore, our Markets Live executive editor. You can 398 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 2: read the latest from Mark and his colleagues at M 399 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 2: Live on the terminal as well. 400 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 5: Now. 401 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 2: Voters in the Netherlands have turned away from the far 402 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 2: right party of Fielders, instead backing mainstream political groups and 403 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 2: yesterday's general election, the votes are still being counted and 404 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 2: forming a government will take some time. Let's bring in 405 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 2: our reporter Micau Cabala for more on this story. Micau, 406 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 2: what is the latest that we have in terms of 407 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 2: the results of this election. 408 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, the Dutch elections look set for close race between 409 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 8: here the builder's far right Freedom Party and the centrist 410 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 8: Democrats sixty six. 411 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 5: We have an ipsus. 412 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 8: Rejection showing d sixty six could potentially win about twenty 413 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 8: seven seats in the one hundred and fifty seat parliament, 414 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 8: with the Freedom Party just behind at twenty five. That's 415 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 8: a loss of twelve seats for the far right force there. 416 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 8: From early morning local time projections, though the Dutch news 417 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 8: agency ANP estimated that both parties could stand neck and 418 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 8: neck add twenty six seats each. All these are based 419 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 8: on partial results, so we're still waiting for more clarity, 420 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 8: but so far the projections suggest a big boost forty 421 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 8: sixty six and its leader, rob rob Yetten, and a 422 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 8: setback for the Freedom Party, which appears to be down 423 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 8: from the thirty seven seats of Builders one two years ago. 424 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 2: Given those that picture that we have emerging from those 425 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 2: partial results, what could the next government look like and 426 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 2: who's likely to lead us well? 427 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,479 Speaker 8: What is important is that almost all major Dutch parties 428 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 8: have ruled out working with the Builders, and with the 429 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 8: current projections, the Fidom Party is effectively blocked from forming 430 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 8: a cabinet, so attention is now likely to turn to 431 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 8: Robbie Yetten and the Progressive D sixty six, who is 432 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 8: even said to become next prime minister. That means a 433 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 8: more mainstream centrist cabinet after two years of far right rule. 434 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 8: But when it comes to specific it is really too 435 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,479 Speaker 8: early to say. Forming a government in the Netherlands is 436 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 8: infamously complicated. There's hardly any threshold for a party to 437 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 8: enter the lower House, so usually takes several of them 438 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 8: coming together to reach a majority of seventy six seats. 439 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 8: After you know, last elections, there were fifteen parties in 440 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 8: the parliament and it took four of them seven months 441 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 8: to form a coalition. It's among the slowest countries in 442 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 8: Europe to form a government. And you know, with Yeten's 443 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 8: D sixty six's centris stance, they could be looking, they 444 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 8: could left, they could be working right to form a 445 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 8: workable alliance and all that means only the coming months 446 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 8: will tell. 447 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed, and plenty of negotiations to be had from 448 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 2: here as well. What will be the key challenges though 449 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: in store for the next government In the Netherlands. 450 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 8: A lot of the campaigning has centered on anger over immigration. 451 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 8: That was Fielders, you know, slamming migration from Islamic countries, 452 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 8: pushing an anti Islam rhetoric, saying the religion is putting 453 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 8: freedom in the Netherlands in peril. On migration, the D 454 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 8: sixty six that's called for finding a more balanced approach 455 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 8: between you know, finding a balance between attracting and international 456 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 8: specialist staff needed in the country and ditching workforces that 457 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 8: are less crucial to the economy. Other issues have been 458 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 8: put forward, notably the housing shortage. Yet and primarily focused 459 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 8: on that because that consistently ranked as the top concern 460 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 8: for Dutch voters, but there's also the fears of Netherlands, 461 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 8: the Netherlands losing its competitive edge, and the next cabinet 462 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 8: will also have to navigate the recent seizure by the 463 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 8: government of Chinese owned Chickmaker and Experia, So that's a 464 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 8: diplomatic fallout. 465 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 5: To definitely keep an eye out. 466 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 2: For mcause a lot of those issues or issues being 467 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 2: debated also at a European level. What does this result 468 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 2: mean for the European Union? In Europe more broadly, it 469 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 2: does speak of a trend of sorts. Two years ago, 470 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,479 Speaker 2: when Hitfielders and his Freedom Party won the election, it 471 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 2: was read as another chapter in Europe's for right surge. 472 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 2: Now it seems to be that Filders has lost that momentum, 473 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 2: and that anyway stands in contrast to gains by nationalist 474 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 2: parties elsewhere. You know, we can look at Germany's AfD 475 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 2: or France's National Rally from a European Union point of view. 476 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 2: The nether Ldan's remains and has remain anchored in the 477 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 2: pro EU sort of mainstream. But this fragmented result that 478 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 2: we're likely to see just shows how volatile your politics 479 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 2: have become. We have this split between populist, green, centrist, conservative, 480 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 2: conservative and other forces, and all of those factors are 481 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 2: really reshuffling at the political deck.
