Daybreak Weekend: Pfizer Deal, Nobel Peace, Golden Week

In the US, stocks just notched record highs thanks to the tech rally. That is despite an ongoing government shutdown. Meantime, emerging markets are facing challenges from political risks in South America to Asia's slowdown under tariffs. For more insights, we turn to Jeff Grills – Head of EM Debt at Aegon Asset Management.
 
We go to Japan, where the country will get its second prime minister in just over a year when the ruling Liberal Democratic Party holds a leadership election this weekend. The new leader will replace outgoing Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who was forced to resign after a historic upper house election loss in July. For more, we heard from David Boling, Eurasia Group Director for Japan and Asian Trade. Boling spoke to Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on the Asia Trade.

Emerging Markets in Focus, Japan Leadership Race

US stocks ended Wednesday's session higher, notching a new record and seemingly shrugging off the first government shutdown in nearly seven years. Treasuries rallied after private payrolls data reinforced bets that the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates later this month. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 rose for a fourth consecutive session. We spoke to John Pantekidis, Managing Partner at TwinFocus.

Plus - Asian equities gained at the open after global stocks rallied to a new all-time high, shrugging off the first US government shutdown in nearly seven years. Stocks in Japan, South Korea and Australia all rose with gains in chips and technology stocks the most notable. We spoke to Ritesh Ganeriwal, Head of Investment & Advisory at Syfe.

Asia Equities Gains as Traders Shrug Off US Shutdown

The US government hurtled toward a Wednesday shutdown as Democrats blocked a Republican stopgap funding package that didn't address their demands, the latest sign that neither party was likely to fold in the final hours before a federal funding deadline. With no more votes planned in the Senate before a midnight deadline, the White House's Office of Management and Budget instructed government agencies to "execute their plans for an orderly shutdown." Despite the risk of a shutdown, US equities notched a second straight quarter of gains. We spoke to is Viraj Patel, Executive VP & Head of Asset Allocation at Fiduciary Trust International.

Plus - China's Golden Week starts, with all eyes on consumption over the holiday. Millions are set to travel, shop, and dine during that time period. Their spending data will offer clues on whether deflationary pressures are easing and if policy support is translating into real economic activity. To encourage consumption, city governments are issuing coupons largely targeting autos, dining and tourism, while the central government released service-industry stimulus measures, including extended museum hours and more sports events. For more, we spoke to Catherine Lim, Senior Analyst: Consumer and Technology for Bloomberg Intelligence.

US Government Nears Shutdown, China Golden Week Begins

Stocks posted modest gains on Monday as concerns mounted about a looming US government shutdown possibly delaying the release of key labor-market data that could provide clues about how fast the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates. Vice President JD Vance said he believes the US government is on track to shut down, seeking to pin the blame on Democrats one day before federal funding is set to lapse. "I think we're headed into a shutdown because the Democrats won't do the right thing," Vance said Monday following a meeting with congressional leaders at the White House. "I hope they change their mind, but we're going to see." For more, we turn to Bill Campbell – Global Bond Portfolio Manager at DoubleLine.
 
And President Donald Trump's new plan to end the Gaza war is, in essence, an ultimatum to Hamas to release hostages, give up arms and surrender — or face the full force of the Israeli military with the US's explicit blessing. Trump said Israel would have his "full backing to finish the job" if Hamas rejects the offer, and Israeli troops and tanks are now in the heart of Gaza City, from which 800,000 Palestinians have fled. In that sense, the offer is familiar — and it is one that Hamas has repeatedly rejected over the course of the war. We heard from Kirstin Fontenrose, President of President of Red Six International. She spoke to Bloomberg's Avril Hong and Shery Ahn on the Asia Trade.

Traders Weigh US Shutdown Risks, Gaza Peace Proposal

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.
