Q3 US corporate earnings continue to report strong, with S&P 500 profits on track for 12% year-on-year growth and widespread beats on sales and margins. However, despite robust fundamentals, stocks reacting to positive reports have underperformed historically, weighed down by already-bullish investor positioning. An inverted put-call skew in the “Magnificent 7” suggests elevated optimism, often followed by short-term pullbacks. Meanwhile, fears of AI-fuelled overinvestment in tech appear overstated: while capital expenditure is rising, it remains modest as a share of revenue, free cash flow, and GDP. Looking at China, policy direction after the Fourth Plenum supports continued advancement in AI, semiconductors, and robotics, while the recent Xi-Trump meeting offers temporary relief on trade tensions. Though near-term consolidation is possible, structural drivers keep China tech and equities attractive for diversified portfolios.

Trotz freundlicher Gesten haben sich die USA und China auf ihrem Gipfel am Donnerstag nur auf eine taktische Pause im Handelskonflikt geeinigt, ohne dass Peking seinen Trumpf aus der Hand gegeben hätte. Der ganz große Wurf blieb aus, die Märkte reagieren abwartend. Taiwan war auch kein Thema.  Eine Analyse des RT-Teams

Im aktuellen Update des Beijing Briefing melde ich mich aus dem südkoreanischen Gyeongju, wo sich Xi jinpng und etliche weitere Staatschefs am APEC-GIpfel treffen. Doch das ist nur ein Nebenschauplatz verglichen mit dem gestrigen Showdown: Der chinesische Präsident traf dort auf Donald Trump, und die Weltöffentlichkeit erwartete einen großen Deal zwischen den zwei Weltmächten. Herausgekommen ist eher ein temporärer Waffenstillstand.Kontakt: BeijingBriefing@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As President Xi Jinping is set to meet with United States President Donald Trump on Thursday, observers said the top priority is to further faithfully implement all of the points of consensus that have been, and will be, made by the two heads of state.随着习近平主席将于周四会晤美国总统特朗普，观察人士指出，首要任务是继续忠实落实两国元首已达成的共识，同时推进即将敲定的各项共识要点的落地。The scenario is expected to improve the overall stability of China-US ties as well as two-way collaboration, which has been keptafloat in various aspects ranging from trade to law enforcement, they added.观察人士补充道，此次会晤有望进一步提升中美关系的整体稳定性，为双方在贸易、执法等多个领域的持续合作注入动力。As agreed to by China and the US, Xi will meet with Trump in Busan, a coastal city in the Republic of Korea, to "exchange views on bilateral relations and issues of mutual interest", the Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday.中国外交部周三正式宣布，根据中美双方此前商定，习近平主席将在韩国海滨城市釜山与特朗普总统举行会晤，就双边关系发展及共同关心的国际和地区问题交换意见。This will be the first face-to-face meeting between them since Trump assumed office in January for his second term as US president.这将是特朗普今年1月开启第二任期以来，中美两国元首首次面对面会晤。"Head-of-state diplomacy plays an irreplaceable role in providing strategic guidance for China-US relations," Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said.外交部发言人郭佳昆表示：“元首外交对中美关系具有不可替代的战略引领作用。”During their meeting, the two presidents will have "in-depth communication on strategic and long-term issues concerning China-US relations and major issues of common concern", he said.他指出，两国元首会晤期间将就“中美关系战略性、长远性问题及重大关切事项进行深入沟通”。"We are willing to make joint efforts with the US side to drive this meeting toyield positive outcomes, and to provide new guidance and inject newimpetus into the stable development of China-US relations," Guo said at a news briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.郭家驹周三在北京记者会上表示：“中方愿同美方共同努力，推动本次会晤取得积极务实成果，为中美关系稳定发展提供新的指引、注入新的动力。”Last month, the two leaders held their third phone talks this year, following the first in January and the second in June.继今年1月和6月的两次通话后，两国元首上月再度通电话，完成了今年第三次高层沟通。In the most recent phone talks, Xi said the two nations "are fully capable of helping each other succeed and prospering together", and Trump said the two countries working together can get many great things done that are good for world peace and stability.在此次通话中，习近平主席表示，中美两国“完全有能力相互成就、共同繁荣”，特朗普总统则回应称，美中携手合作，能够成就诸多造福世界和平与稳定的伟大事业。Diao Daming, a professor of US studies at Renmin University of China's School of International Relations, noted that the China-US ties, despite some ups and downs this year, "have maintained a generally stable status thanks to the navigating role played by head-of-state diplomacy".中国人民大学国际关系学院美国问题教授刁大明指出，尽管今年中美关系经历了一些起伏，但“在元首外交的战略引领下，总体保持了稳定发展态势”。The ties have been affected by destabilizing factors such as economic andtrade frictions brought by Washington's view of China as a competitor, he said.他认为，当前中美关系受到多重不稳定因素印象，其中包括华盛顿将中国视为竞争对手所引发的经贸摩擦等问题。On Monday, Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a phone call with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in which Wang noted that both Xi and Trump are "world-class leaders", and their long-term exchanges and mutual respect have become "the most valuable strategic asset in China-US relations".周一，中国外交部长王毅与美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥（Marco Rubio）通电话。王毅指出，习近平主席和特朗普总统都是“世界级领导人”，双方长期以来的交流互敬，已成为“中美关系中最宝贵的战略资产”。China is now the US' second-largest source of imports and third-largest market for its exports.数据显示，中国目前是美国第二大进口来源国，同时也是美国第三大出口市场。This year, the two sides have held five rounds of economic and trade talks—in Geneva, Switzerland in May; in London, the United Kingdom, in June; in Stockholm, Sweden, in July; in Madrid, Spain, in September; and in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Saturday and Sunday.今年中美双方已举行五轮贸易磋商，磋商地点分别是5月在瑞士日内瓦、6月在英国伦敦、7月在瑞典斯德哥尔摩、9月在西班牙马德里，以及上周六至周日在马来西亚吉隆坡举行的最新一轮磋商。Wu Xinbo, dean of Fudan University's Institute of International Studies, said the latest economic and trade talks in Malaysia reached a framework consensus on addressing the current urgent economic and trade issues on an equal footing, and they helped pave the way for the head-of-state meeting in the ROK.复旦大学国际问题研究院院长吴心伯表示，马来西亚最新一轮经贸谈判中，双方就平等解决当前紧迫的经贸问题达成框架性共识，为此次在韩国举行的中美国家元首会晤奠定了良好的基础。afloat/əˈfloʊt/adj.（在水中）漂浮的yield/jiːld/v.推动，产出impetus/ˈɪm.pə.t̬əs/n.刺激trade friction贸易摩擦

Ein gemischtes, aber noch stabiles Marktumfeld vorbörslich. Die Marktbreite bleibt schwach – selbst starke Zahlen führen kaum zu Kursgewinnen. Roblox, Meta, Microsoft, Ebay und Carvana alle mit Verlusten trotz solider Ergebnisse. Auch Starbucks kann frühe Gewinne nicht halten, Chipotle wird nach kleinen Verfehlungen regelrecht abgestraft. Im Fokus heute Abend: die Tech-Schwergewichte Amazon, Apple und Coinbase. Politisch sehen wir Entspannung zwischen China und den USA – halbierte Fentanyl-Zölle, Aufhebung von Exportrestriktionen Seltener Erden – doch die Märkte haben all das längst gefeiert.

Emmanuel Macron veut réguler les réseaux sociaux pour protéger la démocratie. Il dénonce les contenus d'extrême droite sur X et l'ingérence russe via TikTok. Selon Arlette Chabot, il a peut-être trouvé une cause qui pourrait entraîner derrière lui une partie des Français, peut-être une partie des Européens. Le problème des réseaux sociaux, c'est un combat qu'il ne peut pas mener tout seul, ajoute-t-elle. Lors de sa rencontre avec Xi Jinping, ce jeudi 30 octobre, Donald Trump a découvert que la Chine disposait de moyens de pression : le contrôle des terres rares et la possibilité d'arrêter ses achats de soja aux États-Unis. Pour Dominique Seux, sans aucun doute, c'est Xi Jinping qui a gagné. Donald Trump, manifestement, respecte les forts et regarde de très haut les plus faibles. Les élections législatives aux Pays-Bas du mercredi 29 octobre ont abouti à un résultat très serré entre le parti centriste pro-européen D66 et le parti d'extrême droite PVV de Geert Wilders. Abnousse Shalmani estime que ce dernier a tout perdu, car il n'avait aucune chance d'être Premier ministre, personne ne voulait travailler avec lui, mais il a tout remporté en faisant réagir tout le monde à ses propositions. Du lundi au vendredi, à partir de 18h, David Pujadas apporte toute son expertise pour analyser l'actualité du jour avec pédagogie.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the two big policy set pieces today have been underwhelming.First up today, the US Fed trimmed its policy rate by -25% as expected, bringing the target range to 3.75% to 4.00%. It issued a timid wait-and-see review which would be consistent with growing divisions within the policymaking committee, and growing worries that inflation is returning even as their labour markets weaken fast. Policy during stagflation requires a choice. One group wants the low-interest rate juice now, the other takes its inflation fighting mandate seriously.Immediately after the announcement, the S&P500 dipped slightly, the UST 10 year yield rose a few basis points, and the USD changed little. The announcement had no impact on the gold price - nor the bitcoin price.Earlier is was reported that mortgage applications rose +7.1% last week from the weak prior week, mainly on the back of pent-up refinance activity. Mortgage interest rates dipped but only minorly and were probably not the reason for the jump, which came after four consecutive weeks of decline. But having noted that, the small rate dip did taken them to their lowest level in more than a year.September pending home sales were soft, dipping -0.9% from the same month a year ago. This followed a +3.8% rise in August.As expected, the Bank of Canada trimmed its policy rate by -25 bps to % in its overnight decision. It said that the Canadian economy is adjusting to tariffs and the sharp drop in demand for exports. The reconfiguration of global trade and domestic production is leading to higher costs. Total inflation there has been around 2%, while underlying inflation remains about 2½%. Following the decision, their central bank boss suggested their easing cycle may be over as they expect cost pressure to rise as their economy goes through this adjustment phase.Malaysia's producer prices dipped slightly in September, down -0.8% from a year ago, but this was the least in six months as deflationary pressures seem to be past them now.Meanwhile Singapore's producer prices are on the upswing now. They rose +3.7% in September from a year ago, the most in six months. It was more for factory products with those surging about double that rate on the year-ago basis.In Australia, inflation is rising, and by more than expected. Their monthly indicator reported it rose +3.5% from the same month in 2024. The RBA meets next Tuesday to decide on its cash rate, and this seems to put the kibosh on the chance of any cut. In fact, a rate hike might get some airtime in their review.At the APEC meeting in South Korea, all eyes are on the Xi-Trump meeting results - and how far Trump has backed down. (TACO) Of course, both sides will talk up the outcome, but early signs are that things like China's resumption of soybean imports from the US will be nominal at best. Trump's deals with both Korea and Japan have long-tail implications that may not work out for the US. But the short-term optics are all that matters at present.Demand for air cargo transport rose for its seventh straight month, up +2.8% in September globally from a year ago, up +3.2% for international air shipments. This was led by the +6.9% rise in the Asia/Pacific region, and lagged by the -1.4% retreat in North America,The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.00%, after the Fed announcement. The price of gold will start today at US$3993/oz, up +US$38 overnight and making back yesterday's drop.American oil prices are up +50 USc from yesterday at just on US$60.50/bbl, with the international Brent price just on US$65/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at just on 57.8 USc, and unchanged from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -10 bps at 87.7 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 49.7 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 62.4 and up +10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$111,195 and down -3.7% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has again been moderate at just on +/- 2.0%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston.

Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news expectations are gyrating around the upcoming US-China leaders meeting. Markets have high expectations and are pricing in a positive outcome. For US markets, this is relatively modest and a 'relief'. For Chinese markets, and Asian markets more generally, it is very positive.A surge in market euphoria could well bring a surge in commodity prices, and in turn, inflation. This will complicate the US Fed's Thursday decision - but they won't know the final outcome of the Xi-Trump meeting when they make their decision later this week and that is awkward for them.Even before the results of the key meeting are known, Chinese industrial firms' profits rose more than +20% in September from the same month a year ago amid ongoing policy measures to revive business and consumer sentiment. Private-sector earnings strengthened markedly, while losses among state-owned enterprises narrowed quickly.Meanwhile, the stutter China had in foreign direct investment in the April to June period also seems to be over. In September, they attracted +¥68 bln in FDI, more than the +¥61 bln in the same month of 2024. But that earlier hesitation still means they are running more than -10% lower than last year, and 2024 was the weakest year they had for foreign direct investment in more than a decade. It may be improving slightly, but they are still in a serious shadow.And we should probably note that the hesitation about relationships with the US are expanding. Countries may 'engage' with the US transactionally to hold on to trade links, but China is winning. This is clear from Indonesia ordering Chinese fighter jets for its air force, and other naval equipment.In the US the data isn't quite so positive, although you wouldn't know it from the Wall Street signals today. Despite 'improving', the Dallas Fed factory survey is still reporting negative overall conditions. New orders shrank less, and manufacturing conditions remained below average. Perceptions of broader business conditions worsened somewhat in October and optimism about the next six months waned. But prices and wage pressures eased, the survey showed.Over the weekend, the US released its September CPI inflation data and it rose to 3.0%, up from 2.9% in August. This was slightly less than the expected 3.1% but it is still its highest level since June 2024. Energy costs, food and rents came in higher than that but petrol prices were lower.One factor to watch is that the rate of increase in the past two months is closer to +4% on an annualised basis. The number reported today relies on the low increases they had in 2024 and February to May. When those months work their way out of the annual calculation, the higher pressure outside those periods will come into play.Meanwhile, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey reported that Americans feel inflation is running at 4.6% and they downgraded their earlier confidence reading to now be -24% lower than year-ago levels.The internationally benchmarked PMI report for the US for October reported a strong start to the fourth quarter, with expansions in both the services (55.2) and factory sectors (52.2).If there is a relaxation of trade tensions after the China-US meeting, Australia could be a big beneficiary. And markets are starting to price that in.We should also probably note that the price of aluminium (or aluminum if you prefer) is rising fast again, back up to levels first reached in the pandemic spike. Causing this current surge is the price the Americans are prepared to pay because of their self-imposed tariffs, as producers avoid that market. Those American buyers are being hit twice.Also worth noting is a sudden rise in the price of sulfur (or sulphur if you prefer). Causing this spike is a fall in supply from some key oil producers (sulfur is a bi-product), when demand is rising for fertilisers.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.00%, dipping -1 bp from yesterday. The price of gold will start today at US$3993/oz, down -US$118 overnight.American oil prices are -holding from yesterday at just over US$61.50/bbl, with the international Brent price still just on US$66/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at just on 57.7 USc, and up +20 bps from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -40 bps at 87.9 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 49.5 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 62.2 and up +20 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at USD$115,614 and up +1.8% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has again been modest at just on +/- 1.3%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston.

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news of a sudden jump in international crude oil prices as the US sanctioned the main Russian oil companies.In the US, existing home sales in September rose to just over a 4 mln annual pace, slightly more than in August and +3.3% better than year-ago levels. But it was to levels less than markets expected (4.1 mln pace). The weakest regions were the South and the Midwest. But both coasts got good increases, especially in California.Because the Chicago Fed's National Activity Index collates a range of data that includes from US Federal government sources, and those are shutdown, the NAI is not published this month.However the October Kansas City Fed factory survey reported a strong rise in activity. But new export orders fell, and the average workweek shrank which was unexpected. Apparently some facilities are "doing more production with less people". There is a general worry about where new orders will come from.In Canada, they said their September retail activity retreated in the month and only held up by car-buying activity. Canadians aren't travelling either, and in an unusual twist the tourism flow into Canada from the US is now greater than the other way. But their factory activity rose by a good amount in the month.We should probably note that China is putting the final touches to its latest Five-Year Plan. These have been the catalyst for the country's economic rise, despite their dismissal in the West. Their state planning has brought them up to be the alternate world superpower. And China and the US will be meeting in Malaysia in a few days to see if they can iron out some knotty disagreements and pave the way for a Xi-Trump summit. It will likely happen because the Americans seem on the back-foot now, but startlingly blind to their growing weakness. And TACO.Singapore reported September inflation of just +0.7% from a year ago, a pick-up from August's four year low.Taiwan said its retail sales fell -2.2% in September from a year ago, reversing August's rise. They said public uncertainty levels are high and spending plans are conservative. But the same view isn't shared in their factory sector where industrial production was up +15% from a year ago, consistent to order information we reported yesterday and which is likely to drive output even higher in coming months.The EU reported its September consumer sentiment survey results and this was little-changed, remaining quite negative although a bit less so than in prior months. In fact, it is now its least-negative since February.Container freight rates rose +3% last week, largely on the China-to-EU trade. Overall they are now -45% lower than year-ago levels. Bulk cargo rates rose +8.5% over the past week and are now +40% higher than year-ago levels.The UST 10yr yield is now at 3.99% and up +4 bps from this time yesterday.The price of gold will start today back up sharply at US$4129/oz, a gain of US$81 from yesterday, a +2.0% firming. Silver has risen less, now at US$49/oz.American oil prices are +US$3.50 higher at just under US$62/bbl, with the international Brent price now just on US$66/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is at just on 57.5 USc, and again little-changed from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -20 bps at 88.3 AUc. Against the euro we are also unchanged at 49.5 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 62.1 and essentially unchanged.The bitcoin price starts today at US$110,047 and up +1.5% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just over +/- 1.6%.

Die seit gestern Abend gemeldeten Ergebnisse sind gemischt, bis leicht positive ausgefallen. Wir sehen nach den Zahlen bei insbesondere Intuitive Surgical deutliche Kursgewinne. Auch die Aktien von Capital One, GE Vernova, Hilton und AT&T tendieren nach den Ergebnissen freundlich. Abgabedruck sehen wir wegen verfehlter Ertragszahlen und belasteter Margen bei vor allem Netflix, wie auch bei Texas Instruments wegen der flauen Aussichten. Nach dem Closing werden die Ergebnisse von vor allem IBM und Tesla viel Beachtung finden. Auf der Macro-Ebene bleibt es unruhig. Donald Trump lässt offen, ob ein Treffen mit Chinas Xi am 31. Oktober tatsächlich stattfinden wird. Außerdem will Trump mit den Demokraten erst dann sprechen, wenn der Shutdown aufgehoben wird. Die Lager bleiben hier anscheinend weiter gespalten.

De Chinese president Xi Jinping ontvangt onder anderen de Russische president Poetin en de Indiase premier Modi in Tianjin, nabij Beijing, voor de jaarlijkse SCO-top. Een top die wereldwijd de aandacht trekt van politici, beleidsmakers, journalisten en geopolitieke denkers. Voor het eerst in zeven jaar zet premier Modi weer voet op Chinese bodem, ondanks de aanhoudende geopolitieke spanningen en gewelddadige uitbarstingen langs de Indiase-Chinese grens in de Himalaya. Daarnaast zijn ook leiders uit tientallen Aziatische en Europese landen aanwezig.In deze aflevering analyseren Lachmipersad en Michaloliákos hoe het zover heeft kunnen komen dat China zich heeft ontwikkeld tot een geopolitiek alternatief voor andere landen.Sterker nog: hoe kan het dat zelfs een land als India, geprikkeld door Trumps geopolitieke wanbeleid, bereid is zijn aartsrivaal China op te zoeken? En wat zou Europa moeten doen om zelf een geloofwaardig alternatief te bieden?

JOSÉ LUIS ORELLA: "Los aranceles de EEUU han acercado a Modi a Xi: Trump debería estar preocupado"José Luis Orella, profesor en la Universidad CEU San Pablo, subraya que la Organización de Cooperación de Shanghái proyecta una clara “imagen de multipolaridad”, frente al modelo hegemónico de Estados Unidos, al tiempo que muestra “esa imagen de familia que ha dado Xi Jinping con Modi, con Putin, luego acompañados un poco por el resto”. A su juicio, esta fotografía política refleja la voluntad del bloque euroasiático de caminar unido, generando un espacio de desarrollo propio en el que “el Pacífico y el continente asiático están en esa vanguardia” y obligando a Washington a modificar su discurso económico frente a ellos.Orella recalca que la OCS no es solo una organización económica: “Lo es también política, lo es también incluso militar en aspectos antiterroristas”, lo que la convierte en un organismo de múltiples dimensiones que favorece la consolidación del liderazgo internacional de China. En este sentido, destaca que “claramente está beneficiando en ese aspecto el liderazgo internacional que Xi Jinping estaba buscando” y que, al mismo tiempo, “a Putin le sirve también como gran pulmón de oxígeno internacional”, al evidenciar que Rusia no está marginada, sino en el centro de las dinámicas globales.Sobre India, el profesor recuerda que su participación “viene muy facilitada por Rusia”, país con el que mantiene vínculos históricos, en contraste con los lazos que China conserva con Pakistán. Este equilibrio, según él, es esencial para reducir tensiones bilaterales y fortalecer la cooperación. Además, relaciona la OCS con la dinámica de los BRICS, al afirmar que “se está abriendo casi como lo que en el pasado nos recordaba el movimiento de los no alineados”, con capacidad de atraer a países africanos, latinoamericanos y árabes.En el ámbito militar, Orella pone el foco en la creciente complementariedad: “Ha habido por parte de los pakistaníes compras masivas de armamento chino. Los indios no paran de comprar también armamento ruso”, lo que configura un mercado armamentístico en expansión y convierte a la industria militar en “uno de los grandes motores del desarrollo económico”. En su visión, Asia ya no solo es el epicentro del crecimiento económico, sino también de la innovación y la oferta militar, desafiando la hegemonía tecnológica de Occidente.Finalmente, Orella advierte que este frente común lanza un mensaje directo a los aliados de Estados Unidos en Asia, como Japón, Corea del Sur y Taiwán, al remarcar que “sin Putin, sin Modi y sin mí [Xi Jinping], aquí no hay economía en Asia y nosotros somos los que controlamos más del 90% de los recursos tecnológicos, de materias primas, poblacionales, de todo tipo”. Una demostración de fuerza que, según él, obliga a Washington y a líderes como Donald Trump a replantear su estrategia frente a un bloque asiático cada vez más sólido y cohesionado.#aranceles #eeuu #trump #modi #xijinping #china #india #comercial #economia #economy #negociostv Si quieres entrar en la Academia de Negocios TV, este es el enlace:   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd8Byi93KbnsYmCcKLExvQ/join Síguenos en directo ➡️ https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pSuscríbete a nuestro canal: https://bit.ly/3jsMzp2Suscríbete a nuestro segundo canal, másnegocios: https://n9.cl/4dca4Visita Negocios TV https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pMás vídeos de Negocios TV: https://youtube.com/@NegociosTVSíguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/negociostvSíguenos en Instagram: https://bit.ly/3oytWndTwitter: https://bit.ly/3jz6LptFacebook: https://bit.ly/3e3kIuy

On June 5th, the presidents of the world's two largest economies spoke on the phone. Both sides discussed trade issues, especially how to advance the agreement reached in Geneva on May 12th. The call also came amid repeated U.S. accusations that China has not followed through on its promises to relax controls over rare earths, minerals that are essential for hi-tech products. What did the two presidents talk about? What signals are they sending to the world? And what are we to expect going forward?

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Trump's Call with XI Trump’s recent call with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Buck breaks down the administration’s efforts to renegotiate trade terms, particularly around rare earth materials, and praises Trump’s strategic clarity and leadership—drawing a sharp contrast with the previous Biden administration’s perceived indecisiveness and lack of coherent China policy. Buck also explores the evolving dynamic between President Trump and Elon Musk, noting some recent friction but expressing hope that their shared goals will keep the relationship productive. He uses this moment to underscore the importance of unity among influential figures who support American innovation and economic strength. CBP Senior Advisor, Ron Vitiello Immigration and border security. Ron Vitiello, Senior Advisor to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Vitello details the dramatic improvements at the southern border under Trump’s leadership, including a 90%+ drop in illegal crossings, increased prosecutions, and the deployment of 10,000 troops. He credits this success to strong leadership, clear policy enforcement, and international cooperation with Mexico and Canada. Vitiello also updates listeners on the status of the border wall, revealing that over 100 miles have been constructed using remaining funds from Trump’s first term, with plans for 700 additional miles underway. He emphasizes how the administration’s use of tariffs has pressured neighboring countries to step up their border enforcement, contributing to a significant reduction in fentanyl trafficking and cartel activity. Buck passionately defends ICE and Border Patrol agents, pushing back against political attacks and media narratives that undermine their work. He highlights the dangerous conditions these agents face and the critical role they play in protecting American communities from cartel violence and illegal immigration. Identity Politics Obsession Buck critiques a controversial ruling by a Biden-appointed federal judge in Colorado, who blocked the deportation of the family of a convicted terrorist. He warns of the dangers of judicial overreach and the erosion of executive authority, especially when lower court judges act as de facto policymakers. A major segment of the hour focuses on the unraveling credibility of former Biden administration allies. Buck calls out CNN’s Jake Tapper for attempting to rebrand himself after years of defending the Biden presidency, accusing him of opportunism. He also dissects the political pivot of former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who recently announced her departure from the Democratic Party. Buck argues that her appointment was driven by DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) priorities rather than qualifications, and he critiques the media’s double standards in covering her tenure. A landmark Supreme Court decision that reaffirms the illegality of reverse discrimination. Buck explains how the unanimous ruling, authored by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, confirms that all Americans—regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation—are equally protected under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. He frames this as a major blow to DEI policies and a win for merit-based hiring. Bad Blood between Musk and Trump? Buck addresses a growing rift between President Trump and Elon Musk. He analyzes their recent public spat over government spending and policy disagreements, while emphasizing Trump’s history of reconciliation and strategic alliances. Buck suggests that despite current tensions, the relationship may recover, as both figures remain central to the MAGA movement.

The Trump Administration is rushing the production of a coronavirus vaccine. But it probably won’t be widely available until next spring or summer — and that’s if it even works. POLITICO’s Sarah Owermohle and Dan Diamond give the hard truths about a coronavirus vaccine. Plus, John Bolton claims Trump asked China for help getting reelected.

Kia ora and welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from [Interest.co.nz](www.Interest.co.nz). This podcast is supported by Hatch. Earlier this week, President Trump thanked himself for a share market that has been clambering to new heights. The S&P 500 index is set for its best June since 1955, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average is on track for its strongest June return since 1938. While this is great news, investors continue to wrestle with the Trump-triggered trade clash between the US and China, as well as signs of receding global growth. We might be in for a bumpy ride. Whatever the markets are doing at the moment, a buy-and-hold approach to investing can be a great way to earn long-term returns. Hatch makes investing in the US share markets easy, visit hatchinvest.nz) to learn more. Today this podcast leads with news we can't escape the G20 meeting circus and the conflicting reports about the Xi-Trump negotiations. But first up, it is the reverse story today. Bitcoin has dived from its giddy height, at one stage reaching US$13,879. Right now it is at US$10,752 and a dive of -US$3,127 or -23% - in just 24 hours. Easy-come, easy-go in the most speculative market going these days. In the US, pending home sales bounced back somewhat in May, pretty much as expected, with a more than +1% rise since April, but they are still almost -1% lower than in May 2018. We got another regional Fed factory survey overnight and that continued the trend of reporting a stall in growth. This condition is spreading widely now. Not helping is that Boeing is being hamstrung by its giant 737 program, and that American car sales are weak. And the final US March quarter GDP result was updated last night, only marginally lower than previously signaled at +3.1% growth which is strong. However, there is a little sting in these final numbers with the personal consumption component recording just +0.9% growth and far below the interim +1.3% that was estimated. Also on the slide is European business sentiment. Not helping there will be that carmaker Ford has said it will cut about 12,000 jobs across its European operations by the end of 2020. They need to cut costs and restructure its European business, which is losing money. All eyes are now on the G20 summit and the important Trump-Xi meeting. But the US president is now lashing out at everyone, including allies, and that is having some interesting effects. One is that China and Japan are drawing closer. But keeping markets interested in the China-US relationship are reports that the US is pulling back on the threat of heavy new tariffs. In China, industrial profits are still shrinking, continuing a trend that started in January. Do you know that our currency charts include bitcoin? You can find it at [interest.co.nz/charts/exchange-rates] Yesterday Asian markets ended with good gains. Shanghai was up +0.7%, Tokyo up +1.2% and Hong Kong was up a heady +1.4%. Europe didn't follow however, drifting lower everywhere except Frankfurt which posted a modest gain. On Wall Street so far, the S&P500 is following Shanghai, up +0.5% in late trade. The UST 10yr yield is slipping today and now at 2.01% and down by -4 bps. Gold is lower today, down by -US$5 to US$1,406/oz. US oil prices are marginally lower today. They are now just over US$59/bbl. The Brent benchmark is now at US$66/bbl. The Kiwi dollar is still rising and across the board, and is now at 67 USc. On the cross rates we are firm at 95.7 AUc. Against the euro we are up at 58.9 euro cents. That pushes the TWI-5 up to 71.5 and a new three month high. You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.

1:00 - What’s so different about Xi compared to his predecessors? 7:30 - Is he the most powerful person since Mao or Deng? 11:30 - Is this the end of collective leadership? Is the Standing Committee of the Politburo still relevant? or the power has shifted to Xi as the core and those small groups would become the new decision making areas? 15:00 - How do you comment on Xi-Trump meeting in China? 18:30 - Is this tipping point of China become No.1 again? 23:00 - What’s so good about the Chinese system? What not so good about it? What are the biggest western stereotypes or misunderstandings of the Chinese political system?

China and the US are the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitters.  In October, President Xi opened China’s 19th Party Congress declaring that China is “taking a driving seat in international cooperation to respond to climate change.”  As President Trump arrives in Beijing for bilateral meetings, please join us please join us in exploring questions such as: What are China and the U.S. each doing to address climate change?  Can cooperation between China and the US. on clean energy and climate survive a period in which the U.S. President questions the scientific consensus on climate change and rejects the Paris climate accords?  What impact would potential energy trade disputes have on both countries?  To address these and related questions, David H. Rank, a career Foreign Service Officer who who served until June as Charge d’Affaires at the US Embassy in Beijing, offered keynote remarks on US-China relations. After Rank’s remarks, CGEP Fellow and Senior Adjunct Research Scholar Jonathan Elkind moderated a discussion on energy and climate collaborations featuring: David Rank, former Charge d’Affaires at the US Embassy in Beijing Kelly Gallagher, Professor of Energy and Environmental Policy, Director of the Center for International Environment & Resource Policy, Tufts University’s Fletcher School  Anthony Yuen, Director and Global Energy Strategist Commodities Strategy, Citi Research David Sandalow, CGEP Inaugural Fellow and Director of the CGEP China Program
