Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia Edition

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

Nvidia Corp. aims to rely less on giant data center operators and predicts other businesses and governments will become a bigger source of revenue for its chips and computing products to support artificial intelligence ambitions. The company faces growing competition from chipmakers trying to carve out a piece of the AI computing business, and major buyers of Nvidia's technology are developing their own in-house components. In other news, SpaceX filed publicly for what stands to be the largest-ever initial public offering, revealing billions in losses and the super-voting share plan allowing Elon Musk to keep the company under his control. The rocket, satellite and artificial intelligence giant is giving the billionaire the power to outvote anyone else, and promising him outsize rewards, including as many as 1 billion shares, if he can pull it off, according to a filing Wednesday with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. To break it all down, we spoke to Daniel Newman, CEO of the Futurum Group.
 
Plus - In a last-minute reversal, Samsung Electronics Co. reached a tentative deal with its labor union, averting a potentially crippling strike that had been scheduled to start Thursday at the world's largest memory chipmaker. The South Korean company said in a statement late Wednesday that "labor and management have reached a tentative agreement on wages and the collective bargaining agreement." The company's union also confirmed suspension of plans for a strike that had been planned for May 21 to June 7. Samsung's stock rose about 5% in pre-market trading on Nextrade. Bloomberg TV hosts Haidi Stroud-Watts and Shery Ahn spoke to Tom Kang, Director at Counterpoint Research.

Nvidia Earnings Beat, SpaceX Files IPO, Samsung Reaches Deal to Avoid Strike

Equities declined as concerns around Iran lingered even after President Donald Trump said he was holding off on fresh strikes on the Middle East country. Oil fell. Brent crude slipped 2% to about $110 a barrel, after earlier falling 2.8%. Trump said plans for a strike on Iran were called off following appeals from Persian Gulf allies, adding that "serious negotiations are now taking place." We spoke to Mark Cranfield, Bloomberg MLIV Strategist.
 
And - Australian policy makers are increasingly concerned about inflation expectations becoming unanchored, a senior Reserve Bank official said, as the latest oil-price shock from the Iran war hits at a time when underlying price pressures from the previous inflation surge have yet to fully subside. Reserve Bank Assistant Governor Sarah Hunter highlighted the danger of rising inflation expectations in a speech to a Bloomberg Forum for Investment Managers on Tuesday, focusing on persistent price pressures in the economy both before and after the energy shock triggered by the war in Iran. Hunter spoke to Bloomberg TV Host Haidi Stroud-Watts.

Stocks Drop as Iran Concerns Linger, RBA on Inflation

China has agreed to purchase at least $17 billion of agricultural products from the US annually through 2028, the White House said in a fact sheet detailing President Donald Trump's two-day summit in China. A day earlier, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce released its own readout of the meeting, which said the US and China will adopt a series of measures, including mutually cutting levies on certain products. China did not provide specifics, adding that teams from both countries were still negotiating details, and the White House release was silent on tariffs. Trump previously suggested that tariffs did not come up in his meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping. We spoke to Rebecca Choong Wilkins, Bloomberg's Asia EcoGov Correspondent.
 
Plus - A selloff in global bonds extended as the deadlock over the Iran war drove oil prices higher, fueling inflation concerns and raising bets that central banks will need to keep tightening policy. Bloomberg TV hosts Haidi Stroud-Watts and Shery Ahn spoke to Kristina Hooper, Chief Market Strategist at Man Group.

Daybreak Weekend: Nvidia Earnings, Europe Airlines, Japan GDP

AI optimism, strong corporate earnings and a resilient economy have powered stocks to successive record highs, driven by bets that spending on artificial intelligence will continue to fuel growth. The rally has also overshadowed mounting concerns that crude oil above $100 a barrel could reignite inflation and cloud the outlook for central banks and the global economy. We speak to Mark Cudmore, Global Leader of the Markets Live Team at Bloomberg News.
 
Plus - Jamieson Greer, Trade Representative of the United States, signaled cautious optimism that US-China trade relations are stabilizing, with progress on agriculture purchases and rare earth supplies, though tariffs and supply chain issues remain. He speaks exclusively to Bloomberg's Annmarie Hordern, on the sidelines of the US-China summit in Beijing on "Bloomberg: The Asia Trade".

AI Momentum Drives Stocks, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer

US equity-index futures advanced as traders bet the record-breaking rally driven by enthusiasm for the artificial intelligence trade has further room to run. The gains in equities masked worries about inflation that have driven bets the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates next year. Treasuries broadly held their losses with yields on benchmark 10-year holding near the highest since July and 30-year yields trading above 5%. Investors have sold government bonds after back-to-back US inflation reports this week showed mounting price pressures. For more on the markets, we turn to Paul Dobson, Bloomberg's Executive Editor for Asia Markets.

Nasdaq Futures Rise, Focus Turns to Trump-Xi Meet

It should not be surprising that war in Iran is producing higher inflation in the US. There was higher gasoline in grocery prices sending headline CPI up last month at an annual rate of 3.8%, and that news in turn sent US treasury yields higher right across the curve. This fueled speculation that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates next year, and bonds fell, with the 30-year yield rising to 5.03%. We heard from David Savage, Bloomberg's MLIV Strategist.
 
Plus - President Donald Trump is expecting economic deals and a "wild" welcome this week in China. He'll arrive facing an emboldened Xi Jinping, just as his own hand is constrained by the conflict in Iran. When the US president touches down in Beijing on Wednesday evening for a 36-hour summit, it'll mark his first overseas trip since waging war in the Middle East. Over talks at the Great Hall of the People and a state dinner, followed by morning tea, the leaders will discuss trade, tariffs and the self-ruled island of Taiwan. Another agenda item, of course, is Iran. For a preview, we heard from Henry Huiyao Wang, Center for China and Globalization Founder and President speaking to Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts.

Asian stocks edged up 0.4% to near their record as traders stayed bullish on the AI trade. Meantime, crude oil gained and bonds dropped after President Donald Trump cast doubts over the ceasefire with Iran, prolonging the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and keeping energy prices elevated. We heard from Colin Purdie, Manulife Investment Management Global CIO of Public Markets. He spoke to Bloomberg's Paul Allen and Avril Hong.
 
Plus - Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers aims to deliver a budget that tackles inflation, revives productivity and reins in deficits, a tough challenge at a time when fuel prices are soaring. Bloomberg's Paul Allen speaks to ANU Associate Professor Jill Sheppard for a preview.

Daybreak Weekend: US CPI, Cannes Festival, Bessent Visits Japan

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
Expectations surrounding the upcoming summit between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump are intensifying as it approaches. Yet, despite the heightened geopolitical stakes tied to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, analysts and markets largely anticipate a non-event — assuming the meeting takes place at all. The two leaders are slated to meet in Beijing from May 14-15 for what is being framed as a high-stakes summit, which was already delayed once because of the war. Discussions are expected to focus on the topic of Iran as they attempt to navigate key friction points in the relationship between the world's two largest economies, including sanctions and trade barriers. For a preview, we speak to Jenni Marsh, Managing Editor for North Asia EcoGov for Bloomberg News.
