Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia Edition

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent challenged traders to counter his efforts to strengthen Japan's currency, saying when he makes market calls these days he's effectively doing so with inside information. Bessent, a former hedge fund executive, was reviewing occasions when he's intervened in markets, including the joint purchases of yen he mounted with Japan's government on July 31. While the yen initially jumped, gains ebbed in subsequent sessions, in part as traders highlighted the Treasury's limited firepower to deploy in foreign-exchange purchases. We spoke to Bloomberg MLIV Strategist Mark Cranfield.
 
And - One of the largest institutions in South Korea, KB Financial Group, will be holding its KBFG Korea Conference. Bloomberg's Stephen Engle spoke to Gavekal CEO Louis-Vincent Gave.

Bessent Dares Traders to Bet Against Yen

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
The yen extended Monday's rally to reach the strongest level since February, aided by rising expectations of a Bank of Japan interest-rate increase next week. Gains in South Korean chip stocks helped support Asian equities. Japan's currency rose as much as 0.8% to 153.16 per dollar after appreciating 1.2% on Monday. The latest advance suggests the currency's rally set in motion by the intervention push from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama may be taking on a life of its own. We speak to Bloomberg's MLIV Strategist David Savage.
 
And - Sapporo Breweries is shifting some production to the US from Canada due to 50% tariffs imposed on beer exports from the country, Chief Strategy Officer Rieko Shofu said. In an EXCLUSIVE conversation with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn, Shofu discussed how the No. 1 Asian beer brand in the US is impacted by tariffs, as well as the Iran war.

Yen Climbs to Six-Month High

Asian stocks rose after US technology shares advanced on Friday. Oil climbed after the US and Iran traded tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. Bloomberg's Paul Allen spoke to Daan Struyven, Goldman Sachs Co-head of Global Commodities Research.
 
And - in the US last Friday, yields were marginlly higher, more so at the front-end of the Treasury curve, given a very strong employment report for August. The American economy added 162,000 jobs last month. The data sparked a re-rating of expectations on a Fed rate hike later this month. Up next for investors is this weeks US CPI data. The Fed's September rate decision hinges in part of the data. Bloomberg's Avril Hong spoke to Deepali Bhargava, ING Head of Research and Chief Economist for APAC.

Asian stocks and currencies rose as investors pared bets on a Federal Reserve interest-rate hike this month, weakening the dollar. The yen strengthened, with traders lifting bets on Bank of Japan rate hikes and remaining vigilant to the risk of official action to further boost the currency.
