Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia Edition

In the US, top congressional leaders plan to meet with President Donald Trump on Monday, a day before federal funding would expire if an agreement on a short-term spending bill can't be reached. A shutdown would threaten the release of key data including Friday's payrolls report, key to assessing whether the Federal Reserve will continue cutting interest rates next month. We heard from James Abate, Managing Director, Head of Fundamental Strategies at Horizon Investments.
 
And - Asian stocks moved in a tight range at the open. Over the weekend, Chinese Industrial profits in August climbed 20.4% from a year earlier, the first increase in four months, according to data released Saturday by the National Bureau of Statistics. Factory deflation eased for the first time in six months. For more, we heard from Sian Fenner, Westpac Head of Business and Industry Economics. She spoke to Bloomberg's Avril Hong.

Daybreak Weekend: US Jobs, Power Conference, China PMIs

Stocks fell as valuation worries overshadowed data showing the economy is holding up. The figures didn't have much of an impact on Federal Reserve bets, but short-dated yields climbed. Bitcoin sank. Following a series of all-time highs, the S&P 500 dropped for a third straight session, the longest slide in a month. That's despite data showing US gross domestic product grew at the fastest pace in nearly two years. For more, we spoke to Brian Krawez, He's President and Chair of the Investment Committee at Scharf Investments.
 
President Donald Trump advanced plans for American investors to buy TikTok's US operations from its Chinese owner ByteDance Ltd., with officials setting a potential value of $14 billion and outlining measures to ensure security of the new venture. In an executive order signed Thursday at the White House, Trump declared that the deal complies with a 2024 law requiring ByteDance to divest control or face a prohibition in the US of the popular video-sharing platform. Trump also reiterated that he had won approval from his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, for the deal. We got reaction from Bloomberg's Annabelle Droulers.
 
And at the same time, President Donald Trump announced a fresh round of tariffs, including a 100% duty on branded or patented pharmaceuticals starting October 1, unless a company is building a manufacturing plant in America. Trump posted on social media that there would be no levies on pharmaceutical imports if companies have broken ground on a US manufacturing plant, or if such a plant is under construction. We heard from Deborah Elms, Heinrich Foundation Head of Trade Policy. She spoke to Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on the Asia Trade.

Trump New Round of Tariffs, TikTok Order Signed

Wall Street's torrid surge from April's meltdown is showing signs of exhaustion as stock traders await fresh catalysts amid risks stemming from a labor-market slowdown to sticky inflation.
While the S&P 500 has defied September's gloomy reputation as the worst month for equity returns, the gauge failed to gain traction on Wednesday. The market ebullience saw the index notching almost 30 records in 2025, eclipsing the average year-end analyst forecast and spurring calls for consolidation. For more, we turn to Rebecca Walser, President at Walser Wealth Management.
 
And, South Korea says investment projects in the US will remain in limbo until visa issues are resolved, in the wake of the Trump administration's immigration raid at a Hyundai-LG Energy battery plant in Georgia. South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-seok sat down with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn in Seoul for an exclusive interview on the state of Korea-US relations, dealing with China & Japan, and the prospects of a Trump-Kim Jong Un meeting at next month's APEC summit in Gyeongju.

Stocks Extend Decline; South Korea Prime Minister Kim Min-seok

A record-breaking rally in US equities came to a halt on Tuesday as interest-rate sensitive technology stocks extended an early decline after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell gave no signs he would support a cut at the central bank’s October meeting. Micron Technology, the largest US maker of computer memory chips, gave an upbeat forecast for the current quarter after the market closed, which could offer fresh support to tech stocks when traders return. For more, we spoke to Rob Haworth, Senior Investment Strategy Director, U.S. Bank Asset Management Group.
 
In Asia, stocks retreated after a drop in big tech halted the S&P 500’s three-day rally, while mixed signals from Federal Reserve policymakers clouded the path for interest-rate cuts. We heard from John Authers, Senior Editor for Markets and Bloomberg Opinion columnist. He speaks with Bloomberg’s Avril Hong on the Asia Trade.

Asian Stocks Edge Lower After Fed Mixed Signals

Wall Street traders defied calls for a breather after a $15 trillion stock rally from April lows, with Nvidia Corp. boosting optimism on artificial intelligence after pledging to invest as much as $100 billion in OpenAI. Tech led gains in the S&P 500, with the US equity benchmark hitting its 28th record this year. The world's largest chipmaker rallied about 4%. Its investment is intended to help OpenAI build data centers with a capacity of 10 gigawatts of power using Nvidia's advanced AI chips to train and deploy OpenAI's models. For a closer look at the market landscape, we hear from Michael Green, Chief Strategist at Simplify Asset Management.

Meanwhile, Asian stocks posted a modest gain at the open. Gauges in Australia and South Korea rose while equity-index futures for Hong Kong — facing its most damaging typhoon since 2018 — were flat. For more on markets, we get the views of Daniel Lam, Head of Equity Strategy at Standard Chartered Wealth Solutions. He speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.

Stocks Gain as Tech Rally Spurs S&P Record

Wall Street closed out the highly anticipated Federal Reserve week with stocks notching fresh all-time highs as prospects for more rate cuts bolstered the outlook for corporate earnings. US President Donald Trump said Friday that he would meet Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and hailed progress toward finalizing a deal over TikTok, after a highly anticipated call on Friday. The in-person meeting would be the first between the leaders of the world's two largest economies since the US president returned to office, and settles an extended back-and-forth between Washington and Beijing around the venue and timing. The APEC summit is slated to be held in South Korea next month. We get perspective from Patrick Kennedy, Managing Partner at AllSource Investment Management.

Meantime, Asian shares edged higher at the open, led by Japan, after the central bank eased concerns over plans to offload its massive exchange-traded fund holdings. The Nikkei-225 Index jumped 1.3% as trading kicked off in a new week, bouncing back after the Bank of Japan's comments on ETF sales spooked the markets Friday. Shares in Australia and South Korea also rose at the open. We get more on the markets from Alicia Garcia Herrero, Chief APAC Economist at Natixis. She speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.

Markets Higher as Trump, Xi Set to Meet at APEC

Bloomberg Daybreak Weekend with Host Tom Busby take a look at some of the stories we'll be tracking in the coming week.

Daybreak Weekend: The Future of the Fed, UK Private Markets, Miran's Impact Overseas

Wall Street's bets that Federal Reserve rate cuts will keep powering Corporate America drove stocks to all-time highs, with traders piling into the riskier corners of the market. The S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones Industrial Average and Russell 2000 small-cap index all closed at fresh highs on Thursday, for the first time since November 2021. An MSCI index of global stocks also closed at a record. We look at the market landscape with Shams Afzal, Managing Director at the Carnegie Investment Counsel.

Plus - Fed Chair Jerome Powell managed against the odds to forge a near-unanimous consensus at this week's policy meeting, with new Governor Stephen Miran the only one to vote against the quarter-percentage-point interest-rate cut. Miran, a close ally of President Donald Trump who was just sworn into a temporary Fed position on Tuesday, dissented in favor of a larger reduction — something the president has been demanding for months. In her latest column, Bloomberg Opinion's Shuli Ren writes that one thing is clear following Miran's appointment: the dollar will get a lot weaker. She joins us to explain.

Fed Rate Cut Spurs Record Day on Wall Street

US equity-index futures gained, suggesting investors are regaining confidence after the Federal Reserve's decision to lower borrowing costs, even as questions linger over the path of future policy moves. Contracts for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 advanced around 0.4% in early trading Thursday, after the underlying benchmarks posted minor declines following the central bank's announcement. Stocks climbed to record highs this week as investors priced in a 25-basis-point cut ahead of Wednesday's meeting. While the Fed followed through, officials stressed policy will be decided "meeting by meeting" and warned "there's no risk-free path" ahead. Even so, policymakers now see two additional quarter-point cuts this year, which is one more than what was projected in June. We get reaction from George Schultze, Founder and CEO at Schultze Asset Management.

Meanwhile, Chinese focused ETFs rose overnight to provide a modest tailwind for Asian peers, despite US stocks and bonds slipping after the FOMC decision. For more on what's driving markets in the Asia-Pacific, we get the views of Stephanie Leung, Chief Investment Officer at StashAway.
