00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Good morning.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: I'm Richard Salama and I'm Brian Curtiz.

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 3: Here are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 2: All right, we are looking now at Vietnam as if

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: it's formally upgraded ties with the US on Sunday, shifting

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: the relationship to the highest level of comprehensive strategic partnership.

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: President Biden said the US had an enormous economic opportunity

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: with Vietnam, making the comments during his first visit to

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: the country. Now, this does come as the US seeks

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: to make deeper inroads in the APAC region by offering

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: nations an alternative superpower to China. Speaking Hanoi, Biden denied

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: the United States is trying to contain China.

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 4: I just want to make sure that you have a

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 4: relationship with China that is on the up and up.

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 4: Squared away, everybody knows lives all about and one of the.

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 5: Ways to do that is to make sure that we

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 5: are talking about the same things. And I think that

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 5: one of the things we've done, I've tried into a

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 5: talk lestat about this from the last this six months

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 5: has been.

21
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 4: An opportunity to streathan alliances around the world, to maintain stoy.

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: Biden also told reporters that China's real estate industry is

23
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: facing problems, saying that President and Shijingping's plans for the

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: Chinese economy are not working.

25
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 3: Meantimes, sources say that Vietnam Airlines is entering an initial

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 3: agreement to buy about fifty Boeing seven thirty seven Max jets.

27
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: The deal could have a list price value of about

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 3: ten billion dollars. The actual amount after discounts is unknown.

29
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 3: In the deal, Vietnam's money losing national carrier would replace

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: more than forty older generation Airbus A three twenty one planes. Now,

31
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: this order is seen as something of a breakthrough for Boeing,

32
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: as Vietnam Airlines is currently an all Airbus single aisle

33
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: jet operator. We had reported back in June that the

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: airline was weighing in order for as many as fifty

35
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: Airbus A three twenty one Neo jets, and we haven't

36
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 3: been able to get in touch with Vietnam Airlines for

37
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: details on this. Whether or not that means that that

38
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: early report is no more.

39
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: Okay, let's move now to the sidelines of the Group

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: of twenty meeting, where Italy's Prime Minister Georgia Maloney told

41
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: China that Italy is planning to withdraw from the Belton

42
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: Road initiative. The most Joanna Won has more from Hong Kong.

43
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 6: Sources say Maloney spoke to Chinese President Chi Jinping about

44
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 6: Italy's withdrawal plan. Baloney also says she spoke to Chinese

45
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 6: Premier Lichang about the initiative, but a decision had yet

46
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 6: to be made. She's been taking her time before deciding

47
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 6: how to communicate her government's decision to exit from the plan.

48
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 6: Maloney fears trade retaliation after China's ambassador to Italy warned

49
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 6: of possible consequences. Baloney said the issue is sensitive and

50
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 6: she'll visit China in the coming months. In Hong Kong,

51
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,400

53
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,200

54
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 3: company's cloud division. Bloomberg's Bonnie Au has the story from

Speaker 3: Hong Kong.

56
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 7: Jiang has taken on the role after giving up his

57
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 7: due duties as CEO and chairman of the group. The

58
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 7: latest move adds another layer of uncertainty to Ali Baba

59
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 7: as it navigates a complicated breakup. Ali Baba has said

60
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 7: it wants to operate as a true investment holding company

61
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 7: that means individual units can seek funding and list separately.

62
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 7: With John's departure, Eddie will will serve as acting chairman

63

66
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: We've got Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen saying she's increasingly confident

67
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: that the United States will be able to contain inflation

68
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: without major damage to the job market. Also hailing read

69
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: economic data showing a steady slow down in inflation and

70
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: a fresh influx of job seekers now trate as we'll

71
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: have We'll next have their eyes on a report coming

72
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: out this week which we'll be telling us a bit

73
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: more about US prices i e. US inflation. Bloom mo

74
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: Ox Denise PELAGREENI has a look what to expect.

75
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 8: Higher energy prices are expected to push up the headline

76
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 8: inflation number for August, with the month on month inflation

77
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 8: rate expected to rise to six tenths of a percent

78
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 8: and the annual rate quickened to three point six percent

79
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 8: from three point two. Take out food and energy, though,

80
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 8: and Bloomberg Economics's core CPI likely continued at only a

81
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 8: two tens of a percent rate in August, same as

82
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 8: last month's rate, making it the longest stretch of subdued

83
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 8: readings since early twenty twenty one. Now you're on year,

84
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 8: that core rate is expected to fall to a four

85
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 8: point three percent rate, down from four point seven. And

86
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 8: Bloomberg Economics also says with the job market cooling and

87
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 8: student loan repayments resuming, retrenching demand will continue exerting downward

88
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 8: pressure on inflation, and the Fed, according to Bloomberg Economics,

89
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 8: has probably already done hiking for the year.

90
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini with that report, Sorry just here, eight

91
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: minutes past the hour. It's time now for Global News.

92
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: C twenty leaders reaching compromise wording in their final statement

93
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: on Ukraine that gives both sides an opening to claim

94
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: a diplomatic victory. And Baxter has Global News in the

95
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: nine sixty news room in San Francisco.

96
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 9: Ed, Yeah, exactly right, Brian A. G twenty leaders reaching

97
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 9: the compromise. US allies had wanted stronger language condemning Russia

98
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 9: for the invasion that did not happen, and Russia can

99
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 9: claimed victory there because the US and allies also say

100
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 9: the statement contained strong language regarding the invasion. Now, US

101
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 9: Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln comment.

102
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: The leaders here all stood up very clearly, including in

103
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 4: the statement for Ukraine's sovereignty, for its territorial integrity.

104
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 9: I think the statement's a very strong one. But of

105
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 9: course there are detractors. Former UN ambassador and Republican presidential

106
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 9: candidate Nikki Haley on'sn says it was a win.

107
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 7: For Russia and China.

108
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 10: They're celebrating today.

109
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 8: I mean, what we should have had was Biden should

110
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 8: have really pushed hard to acknowledge what he acknowledged a

111
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 8: year ago that Russia invaded a pro American freedom loving country.

112
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 9: As for President, Biden focused on the Indo Pacific, having.

113
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: India cooperate much more of the United States, be closer

114
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 4: to the United States, Vietnam be closer with the United States.

115
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 4: It's not about containing China, it's about having a stable base,

116
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 4: a stable base in Indo Pacific.

117
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 9: And global warming. Biden saying bigger than nuclear attack.

118
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 4: There's a lot of line dog faced poniceps out there

119
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 4: about global warming, but not anymore.

120
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 11: All of a sudden, Oh realize it.

121
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 4: It's a problem, and there's nothing like seeing the light.

122
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 9: Biden also saying he feels China is weakened enough that

123
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 9: it won't be in a position to invade Taiwan, and

124
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 9: US Vice President Kamala Harris as a policy to cement

125
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 9: relationships in the endo PASIL.

126
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 10: For example, when I was in Tokyo last year meeting

127
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 10: with CEOs there about what we are doing to coordinate

128
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 10: around the semiconductor industry, what we are doing with South

129
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 10: Korea to the same extent, ensuring that with our allies,

130
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 10: we are strengthening the relationship around our common goals.

131
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 9: Now, Harris on CBS has heard here on Bloomberg, says

132
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 9: those relationships are very important. COVID cases on the rise

133
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 9: in the US, and doctor Anthony Faucci back on ABC

134
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 9: has heard on Bloomberg, says it will increase.

135
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: We're having an uptick in cases, which is being reflected

136
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: by an uptick about seventeen or more percent in hospitalizations.

137
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: There's no doubt that that is going on, and since

138
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: we're now at the end of the summer, it is

139
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: likely that that will increase as we get into the fall.

140
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 9: But says immunity is still pretty high over people who have.

141
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: Been vaccinated boosted people who've been infected. The chances of

142
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: this being an overwhelming rush of cases and hospitalizations is

143
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: probably low.

144
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 9: Fauci says boosters will be available hopefully before the end

145
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 9: of September, and says it is important to get boosted.

146
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 9: He also says despite all the debate and crying about masks,

147
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 9: they still do deliver a line of added protection. Global

00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 11: that China's weakening as an economy, and we'd say that

160
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 11: when we look at the property devaluation, that we're seeing

161
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 11: the trade war with the US, the tensions with the US,

162
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 11: which is severe supply chain changes. Now, a lot of

163
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 11: companies now are looking to diversify out, especially as the COVID.

164
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 11: The consumption story in China is very weak relative to

165
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 11: what they really need to get to on a consumer basis.

166
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 11: They are at thirty eight percent is the consumer relative

167
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 11: to GDP. In order to get that up, they have

168
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 11: to put money into the pockets of consumers. So I

169
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 11: think investors are recognizing that the infrastructure build out that

170
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 11: they did was overdone. That's not They're not going to

171
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 11: be able to do that this time around to really

172
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 11: jumpstart their economy. And because of that, I think investors

173
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 11: and I think are going to move away from China

174
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 11: and movement places like India. India is a much more

175
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 11: attractive country to invest in than China today.

176
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 2: Phil Okay, Sure, when we look at China itself, we've

177
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: moved to India a bit later on. But the thing

178
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: is that the household savings are actually up quite considerably

179
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: since twenty twenty one at the point being with what's

180
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: happened with property, it's taken away one of the biggest

181
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: growth engines, and so what the country's thing is arguably

182
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: having a structure shift. The thing is what's the new

183
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: engine of growth going to be and would that become

184
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 2: investable and that would perhaps be where you need.

185
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: To be.

186
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 11: In China. I just think that first investors have to

187
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 11: have confidence that they can get over this real estate

188
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 11: property issue that they're having, which is very substantial when

189
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 11: you look at the quantity of debt that's consumed, that's

190
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 11: that is that they have on many the properties in China.

191
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 11: I just think that investors are going to be skittish

192
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 11: to deploy capital there and until that's resolved, until we

193
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 11: see Chinese consumers spending like they should be and savings

194
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 11: not going up as you just talked about just now,

195
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 11: I think there's a lot that we have to really

196
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 11: think about before you see a lot of capital flowing

197
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 11: into China and you're seeing money leaving China and going

198
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 11: into Japan and other countries. So I think there's a

199
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 11: lot still needs to be done and reviewed before investors

200
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 11: state China series Again.

201
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: A moment ago, you said that India looked the better

202
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: option at the moment.

203
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 11: Why so, India has the first and most important thing

204
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 11: for countries go from developing into developed. It all comes

205
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 11: down to leadership and good policy making. And Prime Minister

206
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 11: Modi has done a phenomenal job since he's been in

207
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 11: office in attracting foreign investment into his country. The demographics

208
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 11: in India is much more attractive than China. They are

209
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 11: one point four billion people and the average age is

210
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 11: twenty nine years old. The average per capita income is

211
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 11: only twenty four hundred dollars, so there's plenty of room

212
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 11: to grow. And I would suggest that India is the

213
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 11: new China. So what China was thirty forty years ago,

214
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 11: India is today. And Mody is going all around the world.

215
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 11: He's doing a great job politically. Just at the G

216
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 11: twenty meeting, they put together this real important deals with

217
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 11: the Saudis, the US and the EU, which is going

218
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 11: to be tremendous for their country. So he's really doing

219
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 11: a great job that's going to attract money into his liney.

220
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Phil, I have to follow up on that because

221
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: obviously Mody is known as a nationalist, not so much

222
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: as a globalist. Are you saying that he can wear

223
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 3: both hats at the same time.

224
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 11: I think it is wearing both at the same time.

225
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 11: I mean, he is a nationalist, but he's definitely you know,

226
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 11: creating great, strong relations with many leaders around the country,

227
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 11: and you're seeing direct investments into the country. You're seeing

228
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 11: direct investments in infrastructure and renewable energy, and so you're

229
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 11: seeing a lot of things that are going on with

230
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 11: in India and his policies that are improving the growth

231
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 11: in You could see it in the growth of the GDP.

232
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 11: You could see it in where the market's trading relative

233
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 11: to other emerging market countries. Right, it's trading or it's

234
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 11: training at a higher valuation because investors are recognizing that

235
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 11: investing in India is a good investment in the long term.

236
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: The thing is phil it's very expensive. There's it's I mean,

237
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: that's what puts a lot of people off here. And

238
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: is that huge premium that India has enjoyed. If you

239
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: can argue that something which is likely to put people off.

240
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 11: It sure is right. So a couple of things we

241
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 11: have to think about. Number one is, you know, the

242
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 11: strong dollar relative to other currencies, right, So when you

243
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 11: look at the performance of the Indian market versus the

244
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 11: S and P five hundred, there is on the performance there.

245
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 11: So there are things that have to unravel before you

246
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 11: can make a direct investment in India from a public

247
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 11: stock market standpoints. I don't think you need to necessarily

248
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 11: jump in today because of overvaluation, but I do think

249
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 11: you're going to get opportunities where the Indian stock market

250
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 11: will retrace because of some currency risk perhaps or higher

251
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 11: interest rates all around the world. That's putting pressure on

252
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 11: emerging markets. So that pressure is going to create a

253
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 11: cheaper stock market overorld for India, and that's going to

254
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 11: be the opportunity for investors to jump in.

255
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 3: And you mentioned Japan, they've had a good run there too. Obviously,

256
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: the NYK one of the better performing major benchmarks in Asia.

257
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 3: A lot of investors cite some changes in the structural

258
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: nature of corporate culture. Are you in that camp?

259
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 11: Absolutely? So the corporate culture. The three major things that's

260
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 11: attracting investors is there increase in buybacks, dividends and selling

261
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 11: off non core assets. Those are three key areas that

262
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 11: will that there are tracking investors into their market that

263
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 11: I think is sustainable and you've see in supply supply

264
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 11: chain shifts into Japan as well. You're starting to see

265
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 11: real rates rise for the first time in a very

266
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 11: very long time. You yeld curve control, you know that,

267
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 11: I think they're going to start to remove that or

268
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 11: start a subside on that, and you start to see

269
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 11: rates move up higher, which will attrack capital to their

270
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 11: market overall. So these are the benefits that you've seen

271
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 11: with in Japan, which is a game change which we

272
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 11: haven't seen in a very long time.
