South Korea’s manufacturing activity contracts for the fifth straight month, with the PMI inching up to 48.7 in June but still below the expansion threshold. Meanwhile, Japan’s manufacturing sector sees its first growth in over a year as output rises, yet ongoing uncertainty over US tariffs weighs on demand and exports. However, trade tensions escalate as US-Japan tariff talks face renewed challenges with fresh threats from Washington. On the corporate front, City Developments expands its reach into Europe through a new hotel loyalty partnership, while semiconductor firm UMS Integration pursues a secondary listing on Bursa Malaysia amid sector volatility. On Market View, Alexandra Parada speaks to Dan Chang, Trading Representative at PhillipCapital, to discuss the latest market movements.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Progressive's Jeremy McKeown and Gareth Evams discuss the market reaction to Trump's potential intervention in the Israel-Iran conflict, as well as interest-rate "holds" from the US and UK in the face of ongoing inflationary pressure. Japan continues to confuse - and to present major risk - with high inflation and close-to-zero interest rates, while the US/Japan trade deal is still conspicuous by its absence. Progressive client news focussed on one stock, Oxford Metrics, whose H1 results statement highlights H2 weighting along with a skew towards US academia - a market segment clearly under pressure from Trump's defunding of large chunks of US educational budgets. Smart Manufacturing growth will, over time, diversify the group away from these risks, but investors are worrying about the near-term. Following a recent IPO, the UK now has its own version of the US-based Strategy (fka Microstrategy) - a "bitcoin treasury" business known as The Smarter Web Company. The stock has rocketed post its recent float, and Jeremy and Gareth discuss the fact that, from almost all bubbles and collapses, there are persistent changes, and some survivors... Speaking of survivors, Thomas Moore's fund at Aberdeen has now moved to trading at a PREMIUM to its NAV - after a decade of discounts...and the fund is raising new capital. Evidence of green shoots then, both in terms of micro-cap investor risk appetite, and investor perceptions of value at a steady and high-quality long term investment trust. Next week looks quiet - US GDP and inflation data will allow Trump to blame "Too Late Jay" Jerome Powell (and maybe Joe Biden) although clearly events in the Middle East will be key.

In this compelling episode, Dr. Ely Ratner, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs, sits down with Ray and Jim to discuss his provocative Foreign Affairs essay "The Case for a Pacific Defense Pact."Dr. Ratner argues that China's rapid military modernization and regional ambitions necessitate a fundamental shift from America's traditional "hub-and-spoke" bilateral alliance system to an integrated multilateral defense pact. His proposal centers on creating a collective defense arrangement between the U.S., Japan, Australia, and the Philippines—not a pan-regional "Asian NATO," but a focused alliance among strategically aligned nations.Unlike failed attempts in the 1950s-60s (SEATO), today's conditions are uniquely favorable. These four countries share unprecedented strategic alignment, advanced military capabilities, and growing intra-Asian cooperation. The Philippines has become "ground zero" for regional security, with China's illegal actions in the West Philippine Sea galvanizing allied support.Ratner tackles key criticisms head-on: Would Australia really fight over South China Sea disputes? He points to Australia's strategic awakening, with China conducting live-fire exercises requiring Australian airspace closures. Regarding U.S. reliability concerns, he notes that Indo-Pacific defense policy has remained consistent across administrations, unlike NATO rhetoric.The conversation explores practical hurdles, including Senate ratification requirements, domestic politics in allied nations, and the risk of provoking China. Ratner suggests much operational integration could proceed through executive agreements, building on existing frameworks like AUKUS and the Quad.A central theme addresses the tension between deterrence and provocation. Ratner argues that maintaining the status quo would embolden Chinese ambitions, making conflict more likely. While a formal alliance may raise short-term tensions, it's ultimately stabilizing by making aggression prohibitively costly.The discussion covers how ASEAN and India might respond. Ratner emphasizes the alliance would complement, not compete with, existing institutions. ASEAN would retain its convening role, while India could continue bilateral cooperation with the U.S. without joining the pact.Addressing Secretary Hegseth's push for increased allied defense spending, Ratner advocates a holistic view beyond just budget percentages—including access, basing rights, and operational contributions. He stresses the need for political space in allied capitals to justify deeper U.S. ties.Ratner describes 2021-2025 as a transitional period, moving from dialogue to unprecedented action. Recent initiatives have laid groundwork for deeper integration, with allies willing to take steps previously unimaginable.Key Takeaways:- China's military rise demands integrated allied response- Strategic alignment among U.S., Japan, Australia, Philippines is unprecedented- Collective defense would create mutual obligations beyond current bilateral treaties- Implementation faces political challenges but operational foundations already exist- Deterrence goal: prevent conflict by raising costs of aggressionDr. Ratner concludes that preventing Chinese regional hegemony requires "big ideas" and political heavy lifting. The window for action is now, before China achieves its revisionist ambitions.Follow Dr. Ratner's work at The Marathon Initiative

US equity futures are slightly weaker. European markets are firmer, while most Asian markets ended mixed. Markets continue to digest this week's US-China tariff de-escalation, with investor focus shifting toward the potential for new trade deals. Press reports suggest progress toward a US-Japan agreement, while Indian trade officials prepare to visit the US following comments from Trump about a potential zero-tariff offer from Delhi. April retail sales and core PPI both came in below expectations, while the Empire State and Philly Fed indices pointed to mixed regional activity. Fed Chair Powell avoided current policy commentary but reaffirmed the 2% inflation goal and flagged more frequent supply shocks going forward.Companies mentioned: Live Nation Entertainment, Meta Platforms, NVIDIA

In the week to date, the major themes remain around tariffs, policy and uncertainty, and what central banks will make of it all. Weaker growth but higher inflation could leave central banks in a tricky spot. In the week ahead, our focus in the US will be on April retail sales and CPI, and the latest tariff developments. In Europe, we recap the central bank meetings over the past week and look ahead to UK labour market and GDP data. Then we turn to Japan to consider Q1 growth, as well as tariff and trade negotiations. Chapters: US (01:47), Europe (09:54), Japan (13:19), Asia (16:12).

For decades, semiconductor fabs tolerated—and even expected—bad yields. Less than 50%, sometimes as low as 10%. Credible die yield data is rare, but here's a market analysis from the late 1980s for the US Trade Representative during the US-Japan semiconductor dispute. It implies that when American and Japanese firms began 16K DRAM in 1978, yields were about 2%. Laughably low, but expected. And they stayed low. By 1984, US 16K DRAM yield hit 36%. Japan: 48%—better, still bad. Six years later! Now look at TSMC's N5/N4 node, about 4–5 years old. Trade secrets, but N4 yields are around 80%. What's going on? 6-micron process vs. 4-nanometer. The latter is far harder. Yet we're hitting 80–90% yields. Is it a conspiracy? No—the fabs opened their third eyes. With new tools, they began inspecting and improving. In this video: how automated inspection tools revolutionized chip fabrication.

On today's podcast: 1) President Trump's optimism on trade is lifting stocks following yesterday's selloff on Wall Street. Positive signals from initial US-Japan trade talks stirred optimism agreements can be reached to avoid higher levies on American trading partners.2) Fed Chair Jay Powell says tariffs make a challenging scenario for the Federal Reserve. Powell on Wednesday signaled a wait-and-see approach to tariffs, pushing back on hopes the central bank would act quickly to soothe investor fears. His comments, along with concerns over the impact of tariffs on the tech sector, helped end a two-day consolidation in stocks.3) Harvard continues to push back against pressure from the White House. Harvard University's refusal to comply with a Trump administration deal to require it to reform its governance and end diversity programs is resulting in retribution. The administration's freezing funding of 2.2 billion dollars of multiyear grants, accusing Harvard of mishandling antisemitism on campus. President Trump says the school should lose its tax-exempt status and several outlets reported that the IRS is considering the issueSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I was listening to a podcast, and the guys on the show started talking about TSMC. They noted that the majority of TSMC's customers are American tech giants - Apple, Nvidia, AMD, so on...so they said, what if those American companies came together to invest in and buy chips from a startup American foundry? They liked the idea. But discounting the anti-trust kerfuffle that will inevitably follow, I must say that I have heard something like it before in history. In the second half of 1989, near the end of a decade of US-Japan semiconductor tensions, there was a major push for something similar. It failed. In this video, we look at US Memories, the American memory production consortium.

Shane Leary joins Miles Yu to discuss the forthy-fifth anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act. They then turn to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's state visit to Washington, and the resulting developments in the relationships among the United States, Japan, and the Philippines. Finally, they discuss why the Biden administration's attempts at reconciliation and cooperation with China have failed, and where US strategy vis-à-vis China is heading.  

Today on the show, CNN's chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward joins from Tel Aviv to break down the calculations taking place within Netanyahu's government about how and if to respond.  Then, Fareed speaks with The New York Times' David Sanger and Vali Nasr, former senior adviser at the US Department of State, about the potential for further escalation following Iran's attack. They also talk about what this most recent development means for the Biden administration's influence on Israel's policy in Gaza.  Then, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen tells Fareed about her recent trip to China, where she emphasized that while the US is not seeking to decouple from Beijing, they are also pressuring China to roll back what she calls “unfair” trade policy.  Finally, US Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel joins to discuss Prime Minister Kishida's state visit to Washington, and Japan's increasingly crucial position in the region.  GUESTS: Clarissa Ward (@clarissaward), David Sanger (@SangerNYT), Vali Nasr (@vali_nasr), Janet Yellen (@SecYellen), Rahm Emanuel (@RahmEmanuel) Learn more about your ad choices.

Washington and Japan announced a historic alliance upgrade designed to help counter the Chinese communist regime. The head of the FBI warns that China is America's “defining threat,” adding that Beijing-based hackers could be preparing to launch more cyberattacks. What's more, U.S. businesses are a prime target. A U.S. travel advisory against China could possibly be eased. How could the shift impact Americans? And why did the State Department impose it in the first place? China's communist leader says external forces won't stop what he called a “reunion” with Taiwan. We have more on a rare meeting between the Chinese regime leader and Taiwan's former president. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
