Our analysts Andrew Sheets and Kelvin Pang explain why international issuers may be interested in so-called ‘dim sum' bonds, despite Asia's growth drag.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Head of Corporate Credit Research at Morgan Stanley. Kelvin Pang: And I'm Kelvin Pang, Head of Asia Credit Strategy. Andrew Sheets: And today in the program we're going to finish our global tour of credit markets with a discussion of Asia. It's Friday, June 20th at 2pm in London. Kelvin Pang: And 9pm in Hong Kong. Andrew Sheets: Kelvin, thank you for joining us. Thank you especially for joining us so late in your day – to complete this credit World tour. And before we get into the Asia credit market, I think it would just be helpful to frame at a very high level – how you see the economic picture in the region. Kelvin Pang: We do think that the talks and potential deals will probably provide some reprieve towards the growth for the region, but not a big relief. We do think that tariff uncertainty will linger here, and it will keep growth low here; especially if we do think that CapEx of the region will be weaker due to tariff uncertainty. A weaker U.S. dollar, for example, plus monetary easing will help offset some of this growth drag. But overall, we do think that the Asia region could see 90 basis point down in real GDP growth from last year. Andrew Sheets: So, we've got weaker growth in Asia as a function of high tariffs and high tariff uncertainty that can't be offset by further policy easing. In the context of that weaker growth backdrop, higher uncertainty – are credit spreads in the region wide? Kelvin Pang: No, they're actually really low. They're probably at like the lowest since we start having a data in 2013. So definitely like a 12 to 13 year low of the range. Andrew Sheets: And so why is that? Why do you have this kind of seemingly odd disconnect between some real growth challenges? And as you just mentioned, really some of the tightest credit spreads, some of the lowest risk premiums that we've seen in quite some time? Kelvin Pang: Yeah, we get this question a lot from clients, and the short answer is that, you know, the technicals, right? Because the last two years, two-three years, we've been seeing negative net supply for Asia credit. A lot of that is driven by China credit. And if you look at year-to-date, non supply remain still negative net supply. And demand side, for example, has not really picked up that strongly. But it still offsets any outflows that we see the last two-three years; is offset by this negative net supply. So, you put this two together, we have this very strong technicals that support very tight spread. And that's why spread has been tight at historical end in the last, I would say, one to two years. Andrew Sheets: Do you see this changes? Kelvin Pang: Yeah, we do think it's changed. We have a framework that we call the normalization of Asia Credit technicals. And for that to change, essentially our framework is saying that Treasury yields use need to go down, and dollar funding need to go down. Cheaper dollar funding will bring back issuers. Net supply should pick up. Demand for credit tends to do well in a rate cut cycle. Demand tends to pick up in a rate cut cycle. So, if we have these two supports, we do think that Asia credit technicals will normalize. It's just that, you know, we have four stages of normalization. Unfortunately we are in stage two now, and we still have a bit of room to see some further normalization, especially if we don't get rate cuts. Andrew Sheets: Got it. So, you know, we do think that if Morgan Stanley's yield forecasts are correct, yields are going to fall. Issuers will look at those lower yields as more attractive. They'll issue more paper in Asia and that will kind of help rebalance the market some. But we're just not quite there yet. Kelvin Pang: Yeah, we feel like this road to rate cuts has been delayed a few times, in the last two-three years. And that has really been a big conundrum for a lot of Asia credit investors. So hopefully third time's a charm, right. So next year's a big year. Andrew Sheets: So, I guess while we're waiting for that, you also have this dynamic where for companies in Asia, or I guess for any company in the world, borrowing money locally in Asia is quite cheap. You have very low yields in China. You have very low local yields in Japan. How do those yields compare with the economics of borrowing in dollars? And what do you think that, kind of, means for your market? Kelvin Pang: Yeah, I think the short answer is that we are going to see more foreign issuers in local currency market. And, you know, we wrote a report in in March to just to pick on the dim sum corporate bond market. It benefits… Andrew Sheets: And Kelvin, just to stop you there, could you just describe to the listener what a dim sum bond is? And probably why you don't want to eat it? Kelvin Pang: Yes. So dim sum bond is basically a bond denominator in CNH. So, CNH is a[n] offshore Chinese renminbi, sort of, proxy. And it's called dim sum because it's like the most local cuisine in Hong Kong. Most – a lot of dim sum bonds are issued in Hong Kong. A lot of these CNH bonds are issued in Hong Kong, And that's why, [it has] this, you know, sort nickname called dim sum. Andrew Sheets: So, what is the outlook for that market and the economics for issuers who might be interested in it? Kelvin Pang: Yeah. We think it's a great place for global issuers who have natural demand for renminbi or CNH to issue; 10 years CGB is now is like 1.5-1.6 percent. That makes it a very attractive yield. And for a lot of these multinationals, they have natural renminbi needs. So, they don't need to worry about the hedging part of it. And what – and for a lot of investor base, the demands are picking up because we are seeing that renminbi internationalization are making some progress. You know, progress in that means better demand. So, overall, we do think that there is a good chance that the renminbi market or the dim sum market can be a bit more global player – or global, sort of, friendly market for investors. Andrew Sheets: Kelvin, another sector I wanted to ask you about was the China property sector. This was a sector that generated significant headlines over the last several years. It's faced significant credit challenges. It's very large, even by global standards. What's the latest on how China Property Credit is doing and how does that influence your overall view? Kelvin Pang: it's been four plus years, since first default started. and we've been through like 44 China property defaults, close to about 127 billion of total dollar bonds that defaulted. So, we are close to the end of the default cycle. Unfortunately, the end or default cycle doesn't mean that we are in the recovery phase, or we are in the speedy recovery phase. We are seeing a lot of companies struggling to come out restructuring. There are companies that come out restructuring and re-enter defaults. So, we do think that it is a long way to go for a lot of these property developers to come out restructuring and to get back to a going concern, kind of, status – I think we are still a bit far. We need to see the recovery in the physical property markets. And for that to happen, we do need to see the China economy to pick up, which give confidence to the home buyers in that sense. Andrew Sheets: So, Kelvin, we started this conversation with this kind of odd disconnect that kind of defines your market. You have a region that has some of the most significant growth risks from tariffs, some of the highest tariff exposure, and yet also has some of the lowest credit risk premiums with these quite tight spreads. If you look more broadly, are there any other kind of disconnects in your market that you think investors around the world should be aware of? Kelvin Pang: Yeah, we do think that investors need to take advantage of the disconnect because what we have now is a very compressed spread. And we like to be in high quality, right? Whether it is switching our Asia high yield into Asia investment grade, whether it is switching out of, you know, BBB credit into A credit. We think, you know, investors don't lose a lot of spread by doing that. But they manage to pick out higher quality credit. At the same time, we do think that one thing unique about Asia credit is that we have significant exposure to tariff risk. Asia countries are one of the few that are, you know; seven out the 10 countries that are having trade surplus with the U.S. And that's why we think that the iTraxx Asia Ex-Japan CDS index could be a good way to get exposure to tariffs. And the index did very well during the Liberation Day sell off. Now it's trading back to more like normal level of 70-75 basis point. We do think that, you know, for investors who want long tariff with risk, that could be a good way to add risk. Andrew Sheets: Kelvin, it's been great talking to you. Thanks for taking the time to talk. Kelvin Pang: Thank you, Andrew. Andrew Sheets: And thank you listeners as always, for your time.

S&P futures are indicating a higher open today, up +0.45% following mixed trading in Asian markets. European equity markets are edging higher in early trades. In today's macro news, China is intensifying its crackdown on a bond market surge, instructing rural banks in Jiangxi not to settle recent China Government Bond purchases. At least four Chinese brokerages have reduced CGB trading. The benchmark 10-year yield rose to about 2.25% from an all-time low of 2.12% earlier in August. Meanwhile, stock trading volumes in Mainland China hit four-year lows, with pessimism potentially near trough levels. Trading volume in Hong Kong also fell to its lowest since February, following recent optimism over a potential rotation from Japanese to Chinese stocks due to attractive valuations.Companies Mentioned: General Motors, Albemarle, Apple

La prochaine campagne brésilienne de sucre doit débuter dans quelques jours. Ses premiers résultats sont attendus avec fébrilité : c'est encore le Brésil qui donnera le la sur le marché pour l'année qui vient. Tous les regards sont aujourd'hui tournés vers le Brésil, premier producteur et exportateur mondial : la part de marché du pays a augmenté depuis que l'Inde a restreint ses volumes, décidés au commerce international, selon les mois, le Brésil assure entre 70 et 80% des exportations de sucre. Certains experts n'hésitent pas d'ailleurs à parler de « surdépendance » du marché à la production brésilienne.En attendant le début imminent de la prochaine campagne, les négociants envisagent le meilleur comme le pire. Or, un écart de quelques millions de tonnes peut à lui seul faire pencher la balance mondiale du côté d'un excédent ou d'un déficit en sucre. L'éthanol ne fait plus recette« Les épisodes de forte sècheresse au Brésil ont créé de l'angoisse et du stress » résume Timothé Masson, secrétaire général de l'Association mondiale des planteurs de betteraves et de canne à sucre qui s'attend à ce que « les premiers résultats de la campagne brésilienne fassent du bruit ». Il faudra cependant attendre plusieurs mois pour confirmer les volumes de sucre qui seront commercialisables à l'international, car les exportations dépendent aussi de la quantité de canne qui ne sera pas transformée en sucre, mais allouée à la fabrication de biocarburant. « Le marché du sucre est si rémunérateur que la part de canne dédiée à l'éthanol pourrait être encore minimum cette année » explique Karim Salamon, chef analyste chez Wilmar Sucre : l'éthanol se vend entre 13 et 14 centimes la livre alors que le sucre se vend 8 centimes de plus, soit environ 170 dollars de différence pour une tonne. Un écart qui plaide pour un maximum de sucre brésilien dédié à l'exportation dans les prochains mois, ce qui permettrait, si c'était le cas, de compenser en partie une éventuelle baisse de la récolte. L'inconnue indienne et thaïlandaiseTout ce qui se passe au Brésil affectera sans doute encore les prix du sucre à New York en 2024 et en 2025, mais la Thaïlande et l'Inde pourraient libérer plus de volumes que prévu à l'exportation, en raison d'une meilleure production que prévue. Ils pourraient alors compter dans la balance des prix mondiaux. Une bonne nouvelle qui, si elle se confirme, viendra soulager le marché.En attendant tous les scénarios restent ouverts, y compris celui d'un déficit majeur supérieur à 4 millions de tonnes pour la prochaine campagne, déficit avancé par le négociant Sucden, comme le rapporte le syndicat des betteraviers français, la CGB.À écouter ou à lire aussiLe prix du sucre atteint son plus haut niveau depuis dix ans
This week we are taking a road trip with a man we were pretty sure was our biggest nemesis while we discuss “En Ami”! We're talking CGB and Scully's Totally Rad Road Trip Spotify playlist, Mulder's very necessary flowchart to manage his anxiety when Scully doesn't answer the phone, CSM becoming very acquainted with Diesel Dana, whether the alien surgery is to remove the part of the brain that recognizes that CSM sucks so bad, and debate whether having to hang out with Ol' Smokey is in fact the worst thing that has ever happened to Scully. Steep competition. We're giggling over the episode taking place in Goochland and Milford because we're 12 years old, Mulder's freaking out because Scully has been emailing a guy called Cobra who's probably taller than he is, and we find it very, very interesting that Scully has access to Skinner's private line. We're noticing, that's all. And for the most horrifying revelation of the episode: Does Mulder have the puppy-dog eyes gene because he got it from the Cigarette Smoking Man? Terrifying.Send us an email at scullynationpod@gmail.com or follow us on Twitter and Instagram!

The challenge of ruling out inflation via the primordial graviton background by Sunny Vagnozzi et al. on Tuesday 18 October Recent debates around the testability of the inflationary paradigm raise the question of how to model-independently discriminate it from competing scenarios. We argue that a detection of the Cosmic Graviton Background (CGB), the relic radiation from gravitons decoupling around the Planck time, would rule out the inflationary paradigm, as realistic inflationary models would dilute the CGB to an unobservable level. The CGB contribution to the effective number of relativistic species, $Delta N_{{rm eff},g} approx 0.054$, is well within the reach of next-generation cosmological probes. We argue that detecting the high-frequency stochastic gravitational wave background associated to the CGB will be challenging but potentially feasible. We briefly discuss expectations within alternatives to inflation, focusing on bouncing cosmologies and emergent scenarios. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2208.14088v2

Chinese President Xi Jinping is currently under house arrest, several media reports claimed on Saturday, adding that the capital Beijing is currently under army control. The reports have not been confirmed by either Chinese credible media, or have been independently confirmed by India TV. The reports claimed further that international and domestic flights to and from Beijing have been halted, and that the city has been cut off from the rest of the world. Claims add that President Xi Jinping has been put under house arrest after he was removed from the post of PLA chief. A report by News Highland Vision stated that ex-Chinese President Hu Jintao and former PM Wen Jibao persuaded Song Ping, a former member of the Standing Committee, to join them and take control of the Central Guard Bureau. The CGB is responsible for the security of the President, and the standing committee of the ruling Communist Party of China. Army convoys leading to Beijing? Videos that surfaced on social media from unverified accounts suggest large army convoys taking rounds around Beijing. Tweets mention that President Jinping has been sacked. The videos add that the large army convoy is about 80 km long and is headed to Beijing. Rumours suggest that military vehicles of the PLA were going towards Beijing on 22 September. The convoy allegedly started from Huanlai County near Beijing, ending in the city of Zhangjiakou. Xi detained at the airport: Reports As soon as Jintao and Jibao took control of the CGB, rumours add, members of the Central Committee in Beijing were intimated on the phone. This led to Jinping allegedly being detained at the airport when he returned from Samarkand in Uzbekistan, where he attended the SCO summit. Reports stated that the members of CGB have had several closed-door meetings in the past 10 days. The same reports add that this action was taken with the aim of taking power away from Xi. It is also being said that while Xi Jinping was at Samarkand, the ex-PM and President had plotted against the President. This was a result of Xi's probability to become the Chinese President for the third consecutive time. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/world-voices/support
Faith and Business Edwin Carrion pt 2 https://edwincarrion.com/ ()In today's economy, many people find themselves thinking about becoming their own boss. They are contemplating starting their own business and becoming independently wealthy, not relying on anyone but themselves and God for success. Although that is a very attainable goal, it is not as easy as it sounds. In order to be successful, you need someone who has “been there, done that and has also overcome the pitfalls that go with it.” Our guest today has done just that… Edwin Carrion served from 1998-2002 an active duty in the United States Marine Corps. When he left military service, he had dreams just like everyone else. The difference, he worked to attain those dreams… Edwin is now a respected entrepreneur, businessman and deal maker with more than 20 years of successful experience in multiple industries. During his career, he served as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President and Vice President of several significant, privately owned companies. Edwin's expertise in all aspects of managing operations of startups, from development, design, organization, legal, financial, marketing, capital financing and strategic negotiations with client and vendor partners, has made him the key player in growing four of his most notable companies from start up - to annual revenues exceeding $15 ,000,000. Praise God! Edwin founded “E&D Development, Inc.” in 2002 after his military career with the United States Marines Corp. Edwin built, developed and sold over $30,000,000 in real estate. After the real estate meltdown, Edwin founded “Countrywide Gold Buyers” (CGB) in Rhode Island.

Today, Edwin enjoys working with beginner to intermediate real estate developers, teaching them things like, “real world negotiations; one on one mentoring with real estate developers; tax savings strategies and how to find valuable real estate development properties in their local communities. Right on the first page of his website, he lists his titles as “US Marine, Loyal Husband, Loving father of 2 beautiful children, Entrepreneur, Self-Made Millionaire, Real Estate Developer, Investor and Mentor, but the first thing it says is, “Man of God.” Praise God! Today is part two of a great, two part interview! I briefly listed your businesses in the opening. Can you tell us a bit more about what all of your businesses are? Do you really need a lot of money already in the bank in order to start a business? Can you give some secrets to a successful life & business and how to balance the “faith-life-work” balance? Do you have a favorite bible verse that keeps your faith centered on God as you go through your day and business activities? I have a busy time handling the three facets of this business/ministry. How are you able to manage so many business at one time? In the overall scheme of things, what do you look for to determine the difference between a good deal and a bad deal? You are also a podcaster! Tell us about your podcast, https://edwincarrion.com/podcast/ (“My First Investment Property Podcast?”) Edwin, this is all so fascinating. If someone listening to us right now would like to reach out to you, to ask a question, receive more information, etc., how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? Folks, Edwin is the “real deal.” I love interviewing patriots...
Faith and Business Edwin Carrion pt 1 https://edwincarrion.com/ ()In today's economy, many people find themselves thinking about becoming their own boss. They are contemplating starting their own business and becoming independently wealthy, not relying on anyone but themselves and God for success. Although that is a very attainable goal, it is not as easy as it sounds. In order to be successful, you need someone who has “been there, done that and has also overcome the pitfalls that go with it.” Our guest today has done just that… Edwin Carrion served from 1998-2002 an active duty in the United States Marine Corps. When he left military service, he had dreams just like everyone else. The difference, he worked to attain those dreams… Edwin is now a respected entrepreneur, businessman and deal maker with more than 20 years of successful experience in multiple industries. During his career, he served as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President and Vice President of several significant, privately owned companies. Edwin's expertise in all aspects of managing operations of startups, from development, design, organization, legal, financial, marketing, capital financing and strategic negotiations with client and vendor partners, has made him the key player in growing four of his most notable companies from start up - to annual revenues exceeding $15 ,000,000. Praise God! Edwin founded “E&D Development, Inc.” in 2002 after his military career with the United States Marines Corp. Edwin built, developed and sold over $30,000,000 in real estate. After the real estate meltdown, Edwin founded “Countrywide Gold Buyers” (CGB) in Rhode Island. Within a few months CGB became a national company, with which he created a Franchise concept, growing “Countrywide Gold Buyers” to revenues in excess of $15,000,000. After selling CGB in 2014, Edwin Co-founded “Eco Modern Custom Homes,” a high end real estate development company which grew its portfolio assets of projects to over $10,000,000 in just one year. Edwin sold “Eco Modern Custom Homes” in 2017, and purchased “MDC Transport Company” in 2017. He grew the company from $2,000,000 in revenue to over $12,000,000 in just 2 years. Today, Edwin enjoys working with beginner to intermediate real estate developers, teaching them things like, “real world negotiations; one on one mentoring with real estate developers; tax savings strategies and how to find valuable real estate development properties in their local communities. Right on the first page of his website, he lists his titles as “US Marine, Loyal Husband, Loving father of 2 beautiful children, Entrepreneur, Self-Made Millionaire, Real Estate Developer, Investor and Mentor, but the first thing it says is, “Man of God.” Praise God! First question I always start with is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own word, “Who is Edwin Carrion?” You've gone through some tough times as well as the blessed times. I guess we could start with boot camp in the Marines as not being a picnic in the park, amen! What made you decide to enter real estate after your stint on active duty? That was in the 2002-2003 time frame. And we all remember what happened about 2008. How did the real estate crash affect you and what did you do during and after? How important is it to create multiple streams of income so you are not totally reliant on just that one source? What investment strategy have you had the most success with? What are some of the bigger mistakes you made when you were just starting out? I briefly listed your businesses in the opening. Can you tell us a bit more about what all of your businesses are? I love interviewing patriots who have served this nation with honor and distinction and then used the discipline and self-drive to become successful in private life and be a blessing to others at the same time.

Though the comedians today aren't as unhinged as those of decades past, the community of comedy is one that is still very much in need of supportive infrastructure rather than the less blind leading the more blind as it is now. Thanks to Comedy Gives Back, working comedians have some sort of a safety net as CGB is dedicated to making sure that comedians (who so often help folks get through the darkest of times), can get through their own dark times. This week's Comedy Bureau Field Report has two of the three founders of Comedy Gives Back, Amber J Lawson and Zoe Friedman, talk about their altruistic aims to make sure things like living expenses, health insurance, mental health, and more are covered rather than relying on a deluge of GoFundMe's. Comedy Gives Back's Brody Stevens Festival of Friendship 818 Walk is on Aug. 20th. Register here. Donate to Comedy Gives Back here.

It's that glorious time again - the time when Arjuna and CGB wax lyrical about what's working - and what's flaming in the dumpster fire - in Standard. Is GW Enchantments a deck? How about Naya Runes?

Home stretch for Strixhaven spoilers – this podcast and one more to go! This episode's banger is another instant-speed, 2-mana interaction spell: Vanishing Verse.

Two exciting things happened this week! Firstly, resident BO1 expert Covertgoblue finally reached his dream of hitting #1 Mythic on the ladder. No small feat, no matter what part of the season and which deck you play. He sensed he had an opportunity, he ground for it, and sure enough, it was his for the taking. Hear him discuss the meta, his decision making, and how he managed to finally get there. Then, of course, came the announcement of Historic Anthology 4, the next injection of new cards into Historic. Although some interesting cards are included (Death's Shadow, Blinkmoth Nexus, Thraben Inspector, Inspiring Statuary, to name some), the majority of it reads like leftovers from recent Remastered sets, as well as some flagrantly unplayable cards from Magic's past. Overall, we have NO IDEA why this particular subset of cards was chosen, but here we are, and it's set to release March 11th. Take it or leave it.

Happy (almost) New Year! This episode is focused on the changes we would like to see in the Arena client this year. After an initial launch, development on the game has apparently stalled, outside of new sets being released.

Les producteurs de betteraves en France tirent la sonnette d’alarme. Les plantes sont ravagées par la jaunisse virale avec pour conséquence des pertes de rendement importantes. C’est une crise inédite que vivent les betteraviers français depuis le mois d’avril. Les feuilles des plantes jaunissent à cause d’un virus transmis au printemps dernier par des pucerons verts. Conséquence, les betteraves ne grossissent pas et perdent leur teneur en sucre. En cause, l’interdiction en France depuis septembre 2018 des néonicotinoïdes, un pesticide qui protège les plantes contre ces pucerons, mais qui attaque aussi les insectes pollinisateurs, dont les abeilles. Face à cette catastrophe, la filière de la betterave demande à l’État de rétablir l’utilisation des néonicotinoïdes le temps de trouver d’autres solutions. Elle regrette que ce pesticide soit interdit en France alors qu’il est encore utilisé dans d’autres pays européens. Une situation qui pénalise énormément les producteurs français. Selon la CGB, le syndicat des betteraviers, les pertes de rendement des agriculteurs pourraient dépasser les 30% voire 40% dans les zones les plus touchées. Les pertes financières, elles, pourraient dépasser les 100 millions d’euros cette année. Un chiffre qui risque d’être plus élevé, car la récolte n’aura lieu que dans deux mois et la situation risque de s’aggraver. Actuellement, la jaunisse est présente dans presque la totalité des champs de betteraves, surtout dans le sud où elle touche 80 à 100% des surfaces. Un coup dur pour les betteraviers français qui souffrent déjà de la faiblesse des cours mondiaux du sucre et de la fermeture de certains sucriers en France. Privés de débouchés, 1 500 planteurs ont ainsi été contraints d’arrêter l’an dernier selon la CGB.

It's finally here: M21 is out of Early Access and onto the Arena ladder! Arjuna and Covertgoblue reflect on the decks we played at the #sponsored Early Access event (including the epic grudge match the two of us ended up in by chance - see link to that video below). Then we talk about what's making waves in the current Standard right out the gate. We've got (unsurprising) news for you: it's Ugin, the Spirit Dragon. We talk about Bant Ramp and other decks running this powerful planeswalker. We also discuss some new archetypes seeing some play on the ladder and in tournaments: Paw Blade (Boros Aggro), Selesnya Counters, Shrines and more. CGB and Arjuna's epic grudge match video is here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lumu9iDCoc ). That video contains CGB's Annoying Azorius Bounce decklist.

We're back with part 2 of our in-depth set spoiler review for this week! M21 is kicking out the bangers. This time around, CGB is the one advocating, and Arjuna is the skeptic on whether Garruk, Unleashed is the aggressive Green Planeswalker we want. We also discuss Chandra, Heart of Fire, and some of her flunkies such as Chandra's Incinerator, to see whether they deserve a home in Standard. Be sure to stay tuned for part 3, releasing later this week, as well! Big congrats to Covertgoblue for hitting 69k followers on YouTube!
