Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia Edition

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
Global AI stocks rallied as early signs of success for Meta Platforms Inc.'s new personal agent revived optimism over chip demand, bolstering the sector after a recent rough patch driven by calls for slower AI development. The rally followed Meta's Muse AI Agent climbing to the top of rankings on Apple Inc.'s free applications list after its launch earlier this month. Lower oil prices, amid hopes for diplomatic progress in the Iran war, further supported risk appetite. The moves are also offering reprieve for the hot AI trade, which had come under pressure from rich valuations and, more recently, concerns among tech leaders over the existential threat posed by advanced models. Muse's early traction is easing some of those fears by offering fresh evidence that AI demand remains robust. We speak to Bloomberg's MLIV Strategist Mark Cranfield
 
And - US and Chinese officials offered upbeat assessments of their talks on artificial intelligence, trade and investment, signaling a mutual desire to steady ties ahead of this week's summit between leaders Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. China's top trade negotiator, Li Chenggang, said the talks were held in a "good atmosphere" as he left JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s headquarters in New York on Sunday, while US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent lauded "very successful" discussions. China's official Xinhua News Agency called the exchange "candid, in-depth and constructive." Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts spoke to Geoff Raby, Former Australian Ambassador to China for a lookahead.

Stocks Rise as Oil Declines

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
The yen's sharp drop after the Federal Reserve's hawkish hike is raising the stakes for the Bank of Japan's policy meeting Friday, with strategists warning the currency could weaken further unless officials convince markets that more tightening is coming. The Fed lifted borrowing costs Wednesday for the first time since 2023 and projected further increases, prompting traders to price three additional hikes by the middle of next year. That threatens to keep the US-Japan rate gap wide even as the BOJ is expected to raise its own policy rate this week. We speak to Bloomberg's FX and Rates Strategist David Finnerty.
 
And for more reaction to the Fed's decision, Bloomberg's David Ingles spoke to Former St. Louis Fed President James Bullard from the sidelines of the BNP Paribas APAC Global Markets Conference.

Fed Raises Rates, BOJ Hike Anticipated

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
The Federal Reserve is expected to lift interest rates on Wednesday for the first time since 2023 as policymakers lose confidence that inflation will cool sufficiently without at least a nudge from the central bank. Meantime, bond traders have piled into bearish positions ahead of Wednesday's Federal Reserve meeting, betting that the Treasury selloff driving yields to their highest in almost two decades will continue. The benchmark US 10-year yield rose to its highest level since 2007 on Tuesday as traders braced for the Fed to hike interest rates in response to inflation worries. We speak to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities.
 
And for more on the market outlook ahead of the Fed's Decision, Bloomberg's David Ingles and Yvonne Man spoke to BNP Paribas Global Head of Markets 360 and Chief Economist Luigi Speranza.

Investors Weigh AI Slowdown Concerns

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
Central banks from much of the Group of Seven face a pivotal week as mounting inflation risks heap pressure on them to raise interest rates. The US will be most closely watched in the wake of a higher-than-expected core inflation reading, which stoked investor bets that Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh and his colleagues will raise their benchmark rate. Meantime, the Reserve Bank of Australia is set to have their rate decision later in the month. We speak to James McIntyre, Bloomberg Economist for Australia and New Zealand.
 
Plus - Asian stocks and US equity-index futures retreated after major artificial intelligence companies called for a slowdown in the technology's development, raising concerns about a sector that has powered this year's rally. Oil rose. Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts spoke to Vasu Menon, Managing Director, Investment Strategy, OCBC.

Daybreak Weekend: Fed Decision, Sweden Election, BOJ Meeting

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
Asian stocks dropped, tracking losses on Wall Street, as surging oil prices stoked concern that inflation will accelerate. Brent crude held above $101 a barrel. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slipped 1.3%, with benchmark gauges in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Australia all declining. The S&P 500 Index slid 0.5% on Wednesday, while the Nasdaq 100 Index dropped 0.3%, weighed down by losses in Nvidia Corp., Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc. Brent climbed as high as $101.94 before paring its gains, as Iran vowed it was prepared for a more intense war after hostilities flared across the Middle East. At the same time, the Treasury 10-year yield held near Wednesday's high of 4.85%, a level last seen in late 2023, after the US government's plan to buy up to $6 billion of longer-dated debt disappointed investors who had expected a larger increase. We speak to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities.
