Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia Edition

China's Singles Day shopping festival is off to a record start. E-commerce giant JD.com says orders jumped nearly 60%, with shoppers up 40% from last year — defying concerns that deflation is weighing on consumer demand.
 
In the U.S., there's growing optimism the government shutdown will end soon. UBS Managing Director and Financial Advisor Xi Qiao tells Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong what that could mean for Asia.

China Singles Day Sets Record, Stocks Gain on US Government to Reopen

Asian stocks advanced for a second consecutive day as progress toward ending the record-long US government shutdown lifted sentiment, sparking a cross-asset rally from commodities to cryptocurrencies.

President Donald Trump said he "at some point" would reduce the tariff rate on Indian goods, saying the US was getting "pretty close" to a trade deal with New Delhi."Right now they don't love me, but they'll love us again," Trump said. "We're getting a fair deal." Trump later predicted the nations were "pretty close to doing a deal that's good for everybody." The comments were the latest signal of a possible thaw in the trade dispute that has soured the relationship between the US and India. We heard from Kurt Campbell, Chairman and Co-Founder of The Asia Group. He spoke to Bloomberg's Paul Allen at the UBS Australasia Summit.

In the states - Wall Street traders piled into riskier corners of the market, with stocks climbing alongside Bitcoin as the US Senate advanced a plan to end the longest-ever government shutdown, which would remove a significant economic headwind. Bonds lost steam. The risk-on bid lifted the S&P 500 by 1.5%. Technology megacaps, which had been hit the hardest in recent sessions, saw their biggest advance since May. We spoke to Chuck Cumello, President & Chief Executive Officer of Essex Financial.

Trump: India Trade Deal Close, Asia Stocks Advance on US Government Shutdown Hopes

The record-breaking US government shutdown is nearing an end after a group of moderate Senate Democrats agreed to support a deal to reopen the government and fund some departments and agencies for the next year, people familiar with the talks said. Under the agreement, Congress would pass full-year funding for the departments of Agriculture, Veterans Affairs and Congress itself, while funding other agencies through Jan. 30. The bill would provide pay for furloughed government workers, resume withheld federal payments to states and localities and recall agency employees who were laid off during the shutdown. US stock-index futures jumped in early Asian trading. For more on the early market action in Asia, we turn to Paul Dobson, Bloomberg's Executive Editor for Asia Markets.

Plus - the US Government shutdown has delayed the release of two monthly jobs reports and may also impact the release of a key inflation snapshot, creating a data fog for the Federal Reserve. The absence of official reports on inflation and the job market will prolong the debate about whether another rate cut is needed at the Fed's December meeting, with some economists predicting that October's figures would have supported a rate cut. Fed officials will have to rely on retroactive surveys and private-sector reports to inform their decisions, with several appearances by Fed officials in the coming week, including John Williams, Raphael Bostic, Stephen Miran, and Alberto Musalem, being closely watched by investors. We speak to Chris Carey, Portfolio Manager, Carnegie Investment Counsel.

Daybreak Weekend: Disney Earnings, Portugal Web Summit, China Singles’ Day

Asian equities fell after Wall Street shares declined, weighed down by concerns over stretched artificial intelligence valuations and signs of a cooling labor market. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slipped 0.6%, led by declines in Japan, putting the gauge on track for its first drop in three weeks. US equity benchmarks dropped for the second time in three sessions with AI-related stocks such as Nvidia Corp. tumbling, while a closely watched volatility gauge spiked. We heard from Pruksa Iamthongthong, Aberdeen Investments Head of Equities Asia Pacific. She spoke to Bloomberg's Yvonne Man and David Ingles.

Plus - Tesla Inc. shareholders approved a $1 trillion compensation package for Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk, the largest payout ever awarded to a corporate leader. The pay agreement clears a path for Musk, the world's richest person, to become the first-ever trillionaire and expand his stake in Tesla to 25% or more over the next decade. To achieve the full payout, he'll have to deliver on targets to significantly expand Tesla's market value, revive its flagging car business and get the fledgling robotaxi and Optimus robotics efforts off the ground.

And in the US, volatility lashed Wall Street, with strong evidence of a cooling labor market pushing high-valuation tech stocks and crypto to big losses while bonds rallied on bets the Federal Reserve will cut rates. We spoke to Clark Geranen, Chief Investment Officer, CalBay Investments.

Asian stocks rose at the open, following Wall Street's lead, where buyers stepped in after a brief retreat in technology shares and signs of a resilient US labor market boosted investor sentiment. Also in the states, the US Supreme Court appeared skeptical of President Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs, as key justices suggested he had overstepped his authority with his signature economic policy. We speak to Mark Cranfield, Bloomberg MLIV Strategist.

Plus - While Wall Street didn't see a buying stampede, equities were able to bounce following a slide that underscored worries over how stretched the market has become and how sensitive it is to unfavorable news. Chipmakers, which bore the brunt of the recent selling, jumped on Wednesday. For more on the markets, we speak to Robert Schein, Chief Investment Officer, Blanke Schein Wealth Management.

In the US, risky assets slid, with tech stocks and cryptocurrencies bearing the brunt of the selling, after long-simmering concerns about lofty valuations were fanned anew by a chorus of Wall Street executives who warned investors to brace for a pullback. In South Korea, the equity benchmark slumped as valuation concerns hammered recent winners such as chip stocks, defense and shipbuilders. For more on the latest market action, we heard from Anna Wu, VanEck Cross-Asset Investment Specialist. She spoke to Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong.
 
Plus - we go to Singapore, where we speak to Sandeep Malhotra, Mastercard Executive Vice President for Core Payments in Asia Pacific.

China will effectively suspend implementation of additional export controls on rare earth metals and terminate investigations targeting US companies in the semiconductor supply chain, the White House announced.

Also, there were some PMI releases across Asia. That would include South Korea and Taiwan. For more on the US-China trade fallout and the latest eco data, we turn to Paul Dobson, Bloomberg's Executive Editor for Asia Markets.

Plus - More than half of S&P 500 companies have reported quarterly results and Uber Technologies and McDonald's earnings will likely underscore deteriorating consumer sentiment in the US.
