1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm Brian Curtis.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: And I'm Doug Prisner. Here are the stories we're following today.

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: Now In the top stories, China has told its state

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: owned banks to boost support for the yuan, the Chinese currency.

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Joan Wong has the story from Hong Kong.

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 3: The request came as the yuan fell towards seven point

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 3: three five per dollar. China is now in a push

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 3: to prevent a search in yuon volatility. Senior officials are

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: also considering cutting banks forign exchange reserve requirements, and they're

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 3: checking whether domestic companies helped accelerate yuan declines by conducting

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 3: speculative trades against it. A sense of gloom has descended

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 3: on China's markets, even though Beijing sawt to bolster sentiment

13
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 3: was an interest rate cut. The banks will release their

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: lone prime rates on Monday next week. In Hong Kong,

15
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 3: I'm joined Wang Bloomberg Day Brigasia Well China.

16
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: Evergrand Group is seeking Chapter fifteen bankruptcy protection in New

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: York now. Chapter fifteen protects a company's US assets while

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: restructuring arrangements are worked out in foreign jurisdictions. This type

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: of filing is routine in cases involving a restructuring of

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: debt held internationally. Now, Evergrand has been working for months

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: to finalize an offshore debt restructuring plan. Back in April,

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: you may recall Evergrand disclosed it did not yet have

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 2: the level of credit or support needed to implement the plan.

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: Now.

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: Today's petition here in New York references proceedings being carried

26
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: out by Evergrand in both Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands.

27
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: Right Hines's police officers went to the homes of people

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: who invested in Jongjur's trust unit and told them to

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: avoid public protests. People all the way from from Beijing

30
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: to Sichuan to jung Su received these visits, which they

31
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: did refer to as cordial. But it's the latest sign

32
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: that authorities are worried about unrest. Fears of financial contagion

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: have grown since the company Jongrong International Trust, which is

34
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: not Jongjur Unit, missed dozens of high yield products. This week,

35
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: group gathered briefly at the Beijing offices of General to

36
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: demand payment on these financial products.

37
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 2: Well back here in the States, President Biden will host

38
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: the leaders of Japan and South Korea. This will happen

39
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: at the Camp David Presidential Retreat. It's in rural Maryland,

40
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: and that will get underway tomorrow. The president is looking

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: to strengthen ties and open up lines of communications with

42
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: both countries. We spoke earlier with Bloomberg's Jack Fitzpatrick.

43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 4: North Korea will be on the dock at Nuclear non

44
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 4: proliferation is something they have said they're going to talk about,

45
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: and the latest there is that South Korean experts have

46
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: told our colleagues that North Korea may actually time the

47
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 4: test launch of a missile that can deliver a nuclear

48
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 4: warhead to the US mainland to coincide with that summit.

49
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: That is Bloomberg's Jack Fitzpatrick, by the way, was back

50
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: in June that the US, Japan, and South Korea all

51
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: agreed to share real time information on North Korean missile launches,

52
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: and they have since conducted several joint anti submarine and

53
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 2: missile defense exercises.

54
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: Right we hear Goldman Sachs Doug is planning to hire

55
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: several hundred new staffers to help address concerns raised by

56
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: banking supervisors. We get more from Bloomberg's Studhart Notrogen.

57
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 5: Over the past year. We understand that there has been

58
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 5: ramped up FED scrutiny from their banking supervisors that are

59
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 5: trying to remediate what they see as lapses. We of

60
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 5: course know that their consumer business, their credit card practices

61
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 5: have been looked at by the CFPB and other government agencies,

62
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 5: and we know that the FED had been asking questions

63
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 5: on that.

64
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: Goldman's hiring spree is notable in a year in which

65
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: the firm has been shrinking headcount because of a market slowdown.

66
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: Unclear is what deficiencies Goldman is seeking to address with this.

67
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: The firm largely abandoned an effort to build out a

68
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: consumer bank that may have set off some questions from

69
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: the FED.

70
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: Last year, well after the bell here in the States,

71
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: Applied Materials gave a bullish forecast for the current quarter.

72
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: We have that story from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett.

73
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 6: Applied is the largest American maker of chip making machinery,

74
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 6: and its forecast indicates that an industry slump maybe fading.

75
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 6: CEO Gary Dickerson says a shift toward artificial intelligence computing

76
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 6: and the rise of Internet connected devices are helping bolster results.

77
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 6: Applied Materials said fiscal fourth quarter sales will be about

78
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 6: six point five one billion dollars. That compares with an

79
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 6: average analyst estimate of five point eight eight billion in

80
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 6: New York Charlie Pellett, Bloomberg Daybreak as and shares in

81
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 6: Applied Materials right now higher by more than two percent

82
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 6: in late US trading, Brian, So what.

83
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: Struck me is interesting about that? Hence my tongue in

84
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: cheek comment about dazzling you with some brilliant So is this?

85
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: You know, We've had a lot of companies actually who've

86
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: had pretty solid earnings in the stocks have traded down.

87
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: But it's different with Applied Materials. I think simply because

88
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: the time went on and this stock sold down from

89
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: the one fifties down to the one thirties, to the

90
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: point where the valuation was at a point where when

91
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: investors got a beat right across the board, they decided

92
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: to go in there.

93
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 6: And buy it.

94
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: So you had that move up, as you just mentioned,

95
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: two point one percent. So it's interesting if you think

96
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: that a lot of the correction that we're seeing at

97
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: the moment is really due to valuation.

98
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 2: Very interesting day in the bond market, and I wanted

99
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: to talk a little bit more about one of the

100
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 2: things that may have been functioning today as it relates

101
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: to week foreign currencies, particularly the Chinese You won, as

102
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: we heard earlier, the U one weekend over nine two

103
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: seven spot three five against the greenback. That's when we

104
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: were told Chinese authorities gave instruction to some state owned

105
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: banks to step up their intervention. Now it's reasonable to

106
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: assume that a few of those banks sold some US

107
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: dollar assets, long dated US treasuries as an example, to

108
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 2: raise funds in order to buy the Chinese currency, and that, Brian,

109
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: I think may have been one of the reasons that

110
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: we see a little bit of weakness at the long

111
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: end today.

112
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's interesting that China would be selling US treasurers.

113
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: We had reported that that had been the case in

114
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,119
Speaker 1: this latest round, and that Japan had upped its amount

115
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: of treasures, but China had sold. So there's definitely a

116
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: lot of nervousness there. And I think, as you mentioned

117
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: right now, we've got the offshore Chinese currency at seven

118
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: thirty forty, so strengthening considerably. Very interesting stories out of China.

119
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we mentioned that people said that police officers

120
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: came to their homes and paid a cordial visit visit,

121
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: but we know in China, when police officers go to

122
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: your home and tell you don't go out to public protests,

123
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: people get the message, whether or not they consider the

124
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: visit cordial or not. Another interesting point, sources telling us

125
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: that Tyson Foods, the biggest US meat company, is looking

126
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: at options, including selling its China business. Interesting process.

127
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: Looking forward to next week, right with those loone prime

128
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 2: rate cuts.

129
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: Yep on Monday. Very interesting. Indeed, we'll see most likely

130
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: they'll follow what we saw from the PBOC earlier. It's

131
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: not always slam dunk, but I think that's what we expect.

132
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: Now it's time for Global news. Questions mounting here over

133
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: why Maui's warning sirens system did not sound when the

134
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: Maui wildfires broke out. A batched with Global News in

135
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: the nine to sixty News from San Francisco.

136
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 7: Ed, Yeah, that's right. Brian officials are saying that they

137
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 7: were not designed for fires, but for tsunamis, and that

138
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 7: instructions are to flee to higher ground. They say, the

139
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 7: officials do that that would have had people running toward

140
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 7: the flames. The Attorney General is dubious and investigating, as

141
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 7: well as accounts that some of the alarms are broken. Anyway,

142
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 7: It's been no official cause released for those fires, but

143
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 7: from the beginning there's been concern that it could have

144
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 7: been down power lines. Bob Marshall's CEO of Whisker Lobs

145
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 7: power Monitoring System, says that new video shows little doubt

146
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 7: about what happened. There is didn't meddle and sparks falling

147
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 7: down to the ground, So if you've got dry grass

148
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 7: and fuel underneath, that's what sparks the fire. Hawaiian Electric

149
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 7: is not commenting. There are now thirty FEMA canine teams

150
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 7: searching through the rubble of the Hina Town fire, and

151
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 7: Governor Josh Green says a slow, painful process, one.

152
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 8: Individual by one individual.

153
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: It makes us, like I said, heartbroken.

154
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 7: And President Biden has made his most visible comments about

155
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 7: the fires today.

156
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 9: Already from the darkness and the smoke and the ash,

157
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 9: we've seen the light of hope and strength, first responders

158
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 9: working around the clock. Many of those first responders in

159
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 9: fact impacted by the fires themselves, losing their own homes.

Speaker 7: and North Korea being a prime topic for conversation. It

164
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 7: is one of the major topics and was the topic

165
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 7: of conversation today at the UN Security Council, Human Rights

166

Speaker 7: Chief Vulgar Turk telling the Council human rights are very

167
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 7: much being abused.

168
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 10: The people of the DPRK have endured periods of severe

169
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 10: economic difficulty and at other times severe repression of their rights.

170
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 10: Currently they appear to be suffering both.

171
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 7: Turk says people are becoming increasingly desperate. Los Angeles Area

172

Speaker 7: Angeles Police, La County Sheriff's Office, Burbank and Glendale police

174
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 7: departments to crack down on retail theft. The flash mobs

175
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 7: hit luxury stores, they're in and out. LA Mayor Karen vass.

176
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 8: To Angelino's our message is clear, those who commit these

177
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 8: crimes will be caught, they will be held accountable, and

178
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 8: we will work to address this issue.

179
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 7: And La County Sheriff Robert Luna says it will be multifaceted.

180
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 11: We're not only focused on the individuals who are walking

181
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 11: into these stores and committing the crimes that we see

182
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 11: on video. But if you are supporting them logistically, either

183
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 11: by being a driver, harboring them, buying merchandise, selling merchandise,

184
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 11: you're in this chain.

185
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 7: Yeah. The task Force says it has to stop global

186
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 7: news powered by more than twenty seven hundred journalists and

187
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 7: analysts in over one hundred and twenty countries. In San Francisco,

188
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 7: I'm Ed Baxter, and this is Bloomberg.

189
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Asia. I'm Brian Curtis in Hong Kong,

190
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: along with Vonni Quinn in New York. A guest is

191
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: Joy Young, head of product management Market Vector Indexes. Joy,

192
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: thank you for taking out the time to be with us.

193
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: So we've seen this repricing in the bond market, but

194
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: yields have gone up a lot more at the long

195
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: end than they have at the short end, which might

196
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: suggest that investors don't really see a lot of big

197
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: changes coming to FED policy. Hence, is this correction that

198
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: we're seeing in the stock market Is that more about

199
00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: valuations than perhaps fears about sharply high interest rates from the.

200
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 12: FAT I mean interesting question because we look across markets

201
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 12: and we see equity markets are also down, so I think,

202
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 12: you know, it could be that people are just now sensitive.

203
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 12: We thought August was going to be quiet, but it

204
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 12: hasn't turned out that way. You know, when we look

205
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 12: at where we came from at the beginning of the year,

206
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 12: you know, we were looking at very diversient opinions with

207
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 12: the market trying to price them both rate hikes and

208
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 12: rate cuts, and the VIX the measure of fear and

209
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 12: uncertainty in the markets was quite high above twenty five.

210
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 12: We got to July and we thought we were getting

211
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 12: confident building consensus. Everybody thought rate hikes were nearing the end.

212
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 12: Markets were optimistics, and then we're here in August reading

213
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 12: the Fed minutes, and now we've had kind of a

214
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 12: reversal of opinion because the Fed is saying that, you know,

215
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 12: inflation is not over. There is still a risk of inflation,

216
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 12: so we're we may be looking at more interest rate hike.

217
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 12: So I don't think this is just repricing. I think

218
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 12: there is you know, gener you know, kind of fear

219
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 12: again back in the markets, with the vicks crawling back up,

220
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 12: equity markets down, the bond market is still inverted. Yields,

221
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 12: so I think that's looking quite fragile still.

222
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 13: Joy are we shaving up for some kind of perfect

223
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 13: storm with everything that's happening in China as well? It

224
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 13: seems like everything is coming to a head right now.

225
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 12: It's interesting because I think we do need to look

226
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 12: around the world, not just focused on the US market.

227
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 12: We're seeing this fragility in the Chinese market. The you know,

228
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 12: kind of reawakening hasn't happened, and we're looking at really

229
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 12: like numbers coming out every day that don't look good.

230
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 12: And we look across to the UK markets, you know,

231
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 12: we're seeing inflation has weird its head again, Labor markets

232
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 12: are quite strong. So those are indicators of what maybe

233
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 12: happening or spreading across the world.

234
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: Well, the vicset seventeen isn't all that high historically, and

235
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: five percent correction in stocks is not a huge amount,

236
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: but it seems like, you know, for a lot of investors,

237
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: they see the kind of growth that you get from

238
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: the Atlanta GDP now, and you know, seeing some of

239
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: the data well supported for the economy, they they're not

240
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: that nervous you say they should be.

241
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 12: So, you know, but I think, you know, this is

242
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 12: where I think we also need to look beyond the headlines,

243
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 12: beyond aggregate market numbers and look, you know, kind of below,

244
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 12: you know, look into the details. And we know that

245
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 12: this is a market that's been led by just a

246
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 12: few you know, big macro tech stocks. You know, we've

247
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 12: been calling them the Magnificent seven and they've been slowly

248
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 12: reducing to maybe just the Magnificent one with Nvidia. But

249
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 12: you know, if you look at what's happened since me,

250
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 12: some conductors have been flat. Oil, you know, is up

251
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 12: thirty percent oil service companies, whereas you know, at the

252
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 12: beginning of the year, oil service companies were down and

253
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 12: semiconductors were up almost fifty percent. So I think we're

254
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 12: seeing this rotation and it may be masked on a

255
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 12: high level aggregate number.

256
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 13: So joy at Market Vector, you published once a month

257
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 13: the best performing indexes, and you know, perhaps unsurprisingly, in July,

258
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 13: it was things like bond indexes and digital assets indexes.

259
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 13: How does that flip for August and September, given that

260
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 13: we saw bitcoin in the twenty five thousand dollars range.

261
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 12: Today, Yeah, so I mean bitcoin has you know, kind

262
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 12: of fallen back again, but I think, you know, we

263
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 12: still have this application process, which spot bitcoin ETF in

264
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 12: the filing, and you know, that's a big that's going

265
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 12: to be you know, big opening for bitcoin should it

266
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 12: be passed. And I think just being filed, you know,

267
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 12: is an indication that institutions are looking at this space

268
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 12: and that so.

269
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 13: Many have been rejected on so many are still file.

270
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 12: But I think this is you know, this may be

271
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 12: you know, a long term process, but I think it's

272
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 12: showing that we're you know, people are looking at the

273
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 12: space and that they're giving it credibility and that there

274
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 12: are different investors coming in to give it a diverse

275
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 12: you know kind of market.

276
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: Joey, you're sounding pretty cautious here. So are you somewhere

277
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: between a soft landing and hard landing or do you

278
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: actually believe we will get that sort of full blown recession.

279
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 12: I think investors should be cautious, always cautious. So I

280
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 12: think if you look at what's happening with banks, you know,

281
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 12: we also do follow top ten banks. You know, should

282
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 12: rates hold for longer higher, then that's going to spill

283
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 12: over to credit risk. It's going to spill over to

284
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 12: default risk, it's going to spill over to refinancing. Risks.

285
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 12: So we're looking at banks, we're looking at reeds, you know,

286
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 12: and those haven't been moving up at all, and they've

287
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 12: been moving down.

288
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 13: So where are the flows into your indexes?

289
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 12: Well, semiconductors here to date are still strong. But you know,

290
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 12: I think investors shouldn't be chasing flows. They should really

291
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 12: be thinking about their macro views and really either being

292
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 12: diversified or being nimble. And ETFs are a good structure,

293
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 12: but some of those flows may be moving very quickly,

294
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 12: and that's the point. They're liquid instruments, so they are

295
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 12: good tools for investors to use in this in this environment.

296
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: How about emerging Marcus, it seems like with China all

297
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: that's going on there that that would be dragging them down.

298
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: And I note that EEM has been down pretty solidly

299
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: here for the past two weeks overall. What's your thoughts on.

300
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 12: Emergency interesting because we have a Vietnam index as well

301
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 12: as India index and those have been pretty strong as

302
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 12: well as Brazil. Seeing that, you know, you know, although

303
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 12: China will have a significant impact on emerging markets overall,

304
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 12: that these individual markets have been quite resilient and maybe

305
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 12: prepared for divergent performance.

306
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 13: What's the number one question you get asked by clients

307
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 13: these days.

308
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 12: Good question, but you know, we're getting a lot of

309
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 12: digital asset interests, so people are asking about how to

310
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 12: think about price in this market. And you know, that's

311
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 12: one of the big concerns for the SEC filings is,

312
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 12: you know, how do we think about rigorous pricing with

313
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 12: a market that's so fragmented with so many exchanges.

314
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: You know, you know, we've only got about forty seconds left.

315
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: So perhaps the final question about where yields are heading,

316
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 1: particularly at the short end. We haven't seen you know,

317
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: such a big balance in the two year yield. Where

318
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: do you see that, say, over the next six months.

319
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, so I don't have a crystal ball here that

320
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 12: you know. I think investors should be prepared for more

321
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 12: volatility in both the bond market and the equity market.
