Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia Edition

After months of negotiations, US reciprocal tariffs are set to go into effect at 12:01am Eastern time. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods over its ongoing purchases of Russian energy, escalating a fight with a key Asian partner on the eve of his broad-based duties taking effect. Meantime, Switzerland's president Karin Keller-Sutter left Washington without announcing any success in lowering the 39% tariff on her country - the highest American tariff rate of any developed nation. For more, we heard from William Reinsch, Senior Adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He speaks with Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts and Haslinda Amin on The Asia Trade.
 
Plus - President Trump said he would impose a 100% tariff on semiconductor imports, though would exempt companies moving production back to the United States. The announcement came as Apple CEO Tim Cook joined the President at the White House to announce a fresh $100 billion investment plan in US manufacturing. We get reaction from Emily Benson, Head of Strategy at Minerva Technology Futures.

Reciprocal US Tariffs to Take Effect, Trump Threatens Chip Levies

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that tariffs on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports would be announced "within the next week or so," as the administration prepares to target key economic sectors in its effort to remake global trade. Trump also added that he was "getting very close to a deal" with China to extend the trade truce that saw the two countries agree to reduce tit-for-tat tariff hikes and ease export restrictions on rare earth magnets and certain technologies. For more, we hear from Jill Disis, Bloomberg News Desk Editor in Hong Kong.
 
Plus - the S&P 500 was on the brink of all-time highs on Tuesday, before losing steam. In late hours, Advanced Micro Devices gave a stronger-than-expected sales forecast, but warned that its access to the crucial China market remains uncertain. The pullback highlights investor anxiety over the Fed's next move, with economic data complicating the central bank's balancing act between controlling inflation and sustaining growth. Stocks had rallied in the prior session amid growing bets on potential rate cuts after weak jobs data last week. We get perspective from Vishnu Varathan, Head of Economics and Strategy at Mizuho Bank. He speaks with Bloomberg's Heidi Stroud-Watts and Haslinda Amin on The Asia Trade.

US-China Trade Truce Hopes; Monetary Policy in Focus

Asian stocks rose at the open after a wave of dip buying and optimism about interest-rate cuts helped the S&P 500 post its biggest rally since May. Stocks in Japan, Australia and South Korea all gained and the broader MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 0.4%. Oil steadied after a three-day drop as investors weighed risks to Russian supplies, with US President Donald Trump stepping up his threat to penalize India for buying Moscow's crude. We look at the market landscape with Hartmut Issel, Head of APAC Equities and Credit at UBS Wealth Management. He speaks with Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts on The Asia Trade.
 
Plus - the CEO of Japan's largest bank says the Bank of Japan could raise its policy rate as early as September, given the outlook for higher inflation in the country. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group CEO Hironori Kamezawa speaks exclusively with Bloomberg's Hideki Suzuki about the BOJ's rate path, rising Japanese bond yields, and the impact of tariffs.

Stocks Rise After Dip-Buyers Fuel US Rally; Mitsubishi UFJ Financial's Kamezawa

Asian stocks fell at the open after soft US jobs data triggered a pullback in equities and fueled bets on a Federal Reserve rate cut. Oil retreated as OPEC+ wrapped up a run of major output hikes. The moves suggest Friday's sharp retreat on Wall Street — sparked by rising US unemployment and slower job creation — is still rippling through global markets. The weak data is fueling investor concern after US stocks rallied for three straight months on speculation the US economy would withstand President Donald Trump's tariff storm. We hear from Sharyn O'Halloran, Professor of Political Economy and International and Public Affairs at Columbia University. She speaks with Bloomberg's Paul Allen and Haidi Stroud-Watts on The Asia Trade.
 
Plus - Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. earnings will paint a mixed picture as a stronger yen and US auto tariffs eat into profit, despite resilient unit sales. Toyota likely saw a dip in first-quarter operating profit, according to estimates. While the company posted record global sales in the first half driven by a surge in pre-tariff purchases, Bloomberg Intelligence said the automaker is likely weighed down by factors including supply chain costs.
Honda's profit likely fell for the same reasons, according to BI. In June, Japanese automakers slashed US export prices by 19%, the biggest drop since records going back to 2016, sacrificing margins to remain competitive through the tariff turmoil. We preview this week's earnings with Kota Yuzawa, Head of Asia Auto Research at Goldman Sachs.

Daybreak Weekend: Disney Earnings, BP Reports, Apple India Shift

Asian stocks fell for a sixth straight session — the longest losing streak this year — as President Donald Trump announced new tariff rates and as solid earnings from megacap tech firms failed to lift broader market sentiment. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropped 0.4% at the open while contracts for the S&P 500 also fell by the same amount. Trump will maintain a minimum global tariff of 10%, while imports from countries with trade surpluses with the US face duties of 15% or higher, the White House announced Thursday. We get reaction from Jenny Gordon, Non-Resident Fellow at the Lowy Institute. She speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Haidi Stroud-Watts on The Asia Trade.
 
Plus - Bloomberg Intelligence says Hang Lung Properties may stabilize retail rental income in mainland China, mainly driven by solid leasing performance of prime shopping malls in Shanghai. Its retail rental revenue on the mainland held steady at 2.4 billion yuan in the first half, with high occupancy rates of Plaza 66 and Grand Gateway 66 at 98% and 99% as of June 30. We speak with Adriel Chan, Chair of Hang Lung Properties.

Stocks Decline as US Announces Tariff Rates

US equity-index futures climbed as strong earnings from megacap tech firms bolstered optimism that corporate profits remain resilient. The dollar steadied after gaining on Federal Reserve holding interest rates. Contracts for the Nasdaq 100 rose 1.2% and those for the S&P 500 advanced 0.8% as Microsoft and Meta Platforms surged in after-hours trading. We break down the day's market headlines with Dean Smith, Chief Strategist at FolioBeyond.
 
Plus - US President Donald Trump announced late Wednesday that he had reached a trade deal with South Korea that would impose a 15% tariff on its exports to the US, and see Seoul agree to $350 billion in US investments. We get reaction from Naomi Fink, Chief Global Strategist at Nikko Asset Management. She speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Haidi Stroud-Watts on The Asia Trade.

Fed Holds and Big Tech Beats; US-South Korea Trade Deal

Shares in Japan fluctuated at the open while those in South Korea and Australia were flat Wednesday after the S&P 500 snapped a six-day rally. Treasuries were steady in early Asian trading after jumping the most in a month in the prior session. In the US, Federal Reserve policymakers are largely expected to hold interest rates steady for a fifth consecutive meeting at the conclusion of their July 29-30 gathering. Dissents from one or more officials could send the message that some members of the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee prefer to reduce borrowing costs sooner rather than later. We preview Thursday's FOMC decision with Mark Heppenstall, President and CIO at Penn Mutual Asset Management.
 
Plus - US and China will continue talks over maintaining a tariff truce before it expires in two weeks and Trump will make the final call on any extension. Adding an extra 90 days is one option, according to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Meantime, the International Monetary Fund said Tuesday that the world economy will keep weakening and remains vulnerable to trade shocks even though it is showing some resilience to Donald Trump's tariffs. We break down the latest trade headlines with Paul Donovan, Chief Economist at UBS Global Wealth Management. He speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Haidi Stroud-Watts on The Asia Trade.

Markets Brace for Fed's July Decision; US-China Talks to Continue

Asian stocks slipped after a flat session on Wall Street, as investors stayed cautious amid a week packed with economic data and corporate earnings. The MSCI Asia-Pacific gauge dropped 0.7%, a third consecutive day of decline. The dollar steadied Tuesday after climbing the most since May in the prior session. The S&P 500 briefly topped 6,400, but closed little changed. Oil held its gain after President Donald Trump pushed for Russia to reach a swift truce with Ukraine or face potential economic penalties. We talk markets with Vance Howard, CEO and Portfolio Manager at Howard Capital Management.
 
Plus - Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says a 90-day extension of a trade truce with China was a likely outcome with negotiations between the two countries underway in Stockholm. Lutnick's comments followed the start of a new round of talks between the world's two largest economies - this time in Stockholm, where Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent led the respective delegations. Earlier rounds saw Washington and Beijing agree to reduce tit-for-tat levies and ease export controls on certain technology and rare-earth minerals, easing tensions that had rattled financial markets as Trump moves to enact a sweeping tariff agenda. We get perspective from Marc Franklin, Managing Director & Senior Portfolio Manager, Asset Allocation, Asia at Manulife Investment Management. He speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.

Markets Slip as Tariff Sentiment Cools

Stock-index futures climbed after the European Union struck a deal with President Donald Trump that will see the bloc face 15% tariffs on most exports, averting a potentially damaging trade war. S&P 500 contracts rose 0.4% and those for European stocks jumped 1%. The euro was slightly stronger against the dollar after the US-EU deal. Asian shares fluctuated at the open as Japanese equities declined 0.4%. Treasuries dipped slightly with yields on the 10-year gaining one basis point to 4.4%. Gold edged lower and oil was marginally higher. Investors are bracing for a busy week of data - including meetings of the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan - and earnings from megacap companies that could set the tone for the rest of the year in markets and the economy. Stocks have risen from their slump in April as investors speculate the US will strike trade deals with countries and that will help avoid significant damage to company earnings and the global economy. We preview the trading week ahead with Clark Geranen, Chief Market Strategist at CalBay Investments.
 
Plus - Australia and the UK signed a landmark 50-year defense treaty on Saturday to underpin the construction of nuclear-powered submarines, senior ministers from both nations said. Both sides stressed that the treaty doesn't impact the AUKUS security partnership between Australia, the UK and the US - currently under review by the Trump administration. For a closer look, we speak with Paul Allen, Australia Correspondent for Bloomberg Television.
