Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific Global stocks extended their tumble into Asian trading on Friday after heavy losses in US tech stocks and cryptocurrencies sapped risk appetite. Silver slid again, while Treasuries stabilized. Further denting sentiment, Amazon.com Inc. shares tumbled 10% in after-hours trading after the company said it plans to spend $200 billion on AI this year. The tech sector seems set for more losses with futures contracts for the Nasdaq 100 sliding 1%. For more on the global selloff, we spoke to Winnie Hsu, Bloomberg's Asia Equities Reporter. Plus - Japan is preparing for a snap lower-house election that could reshape the country's political balance at a moment of economic strain and regional uncertainty. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi — who has only been in the top job for just over three months — has set the election date for Feb. 8 to capitalize on soaring public support to shore up her coalition government. Takaichi has already made a mark by bringing forward an increase in defense spending, unveiling the biggest extra budget since pandemic restrictions were eased, and ruffling feathers in China over her comments on Taiwan. We get a preview from Bloomberg's Sakura Murakami. She covers politics in Japan. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

[0:02] Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News. Welcome to the Daybreak
[0:13] Speaker 1: Asia podcast. I'm Doug Prisner. It was another day of
[0:16] Speaker 1: heavy selling in US software stocks given worries over the
[0:19] Speaker 1: impact of AI. Today, Anthropics said its most powerful AI
[0:24] Speaker 1: model can carry out detailed financial research and analysis tasks
[0:29] Speaker 1: that would normally take a person days to complete. And then,
[0:32] Speaker 1: on top of that, after the bell, Amazon said it's
[0:34] Speaker 1: intending to spend two hundred billion dollars this year on
[0:38] Speaker 1: data centers, semiconductors, and other equipment. That capex figure is
[0:42] Speaker 1: roughly forty percent above what analysts had expected. Let's take
[0:46] Speaker 1: a closer look at market action now with Bloomberg's Winnie Sue.
[0:50] Speaker 1: She is Asia Equities reporter joining from our studios in
[0:53] Speaker 1: Hong Kong. Thank you for being here. If we can,
[0:56] Speaker 1: let's start with South Korea because the market seems to
[0:59] Speaker 1: be in a bit of all right now, heading toward
[1:02] Speaker 1: its first weekly loss this year, and it seems to
[1:05] Speaker 1: be entirely related to this meltdown that we are seeing
[1:08] Speaker 1: in tech talks in the States, right, Yeah, absolutely.
[1:13] Speaker 2: I mean part of that story is that, like you mentioned,
[1:16] Speaker 2: there is that global sell off in tech, and yes,
[1:20] Speaker 2: when it comes to the COSPY, s K Heinix and
[1:23] Speaker 2: Samsung together probably takes up about fifty percent or so
[1:26] Speaker 2: if the market share, So any kind of risk of
[1:29] Speaker 2: mood around the AI story will definitely impact the South
[1:35] Speaker 2: Korea's market compared to some of the other Asian markets. So,
[1:39] Speaker 2: but it's I think it's very important to also point
[1:41] Speaker 2: out that the South Korean market has been very volatile.
[1:45] Speaker 2: If you look at just this week, I think on
[1:47] Speaker 2: one of the days it was up some six percent
[1:49] Speaker 2: and Samsung was jumping ten percent or so, and then
[1:53] Speaker 2: then you drop, you know, as much as three percent
[1:56] Speaker 2: or so of today. So it's just being a very
[1:58] Speaker 2: volatile market. And when it comes to the broader Asia market,
[2:03] Speaker 2: we're talking about SMP down about two percent this week,
[2:07] Speaker 2: but Asia is down about one point six percent, so
[2:11] Speaker 2: worst headed forward, its worst week since December, while for
[2:15] Speaker 2: the SMP's the worst maybe since October. It depends on
[2:19] Speaker 2: how we open up later today. But overall, Asia is
[2:23] Speaker 2: doing slightly better because first of all, we don't have
[2:27] Speaker 2: as many software exposure compared to what we see in
[2:31] Speaker 2: the US. For example, it's a bit more hardware driven
[2:34] Speaker 2: and more AI related, which is actually supporting the overall
[2:40] Speaker 2: AI story in Asia. And also when we talk about
[2:43] Speaker 2: all these KPEX spanding in the end, a lot of
[2:45] Speaker 2: that will trickle down into the supply chains in Asia.
[2:49] Speaker 2: So once that build out starts to happen with these
[2:52] Speaker 2: big spanding, Asia is likely to be a big beneficiary
[2:56] Speaker 2: of that. And again we discussed about how we still
[2:59] Speaker 2: have lower value here in Asia versus the US, so
[3:02] Speaker 2: I would say overall a bit more insulated from this
[3:05] Speaker 2: big sell off compared to what you saw, yeah, overnight
[3:07] Speaker 2: in the US.
[3:08] Speaker 1: So whenning I saw the Taiwan Semi is planning to
[3:10] Speaker 1: begin making some more advanced chips for AI, the manufacturing
[3:14] Speaker 1: will happen in Japan, but I'm curious as to what
[3:16] Speaker 1: this means for TSMC and Taipei.
[3:20] Speaker 2: Yeah, so it is a positive development because first of all,
[3:24] Speaker 2: there's more demand and you're diversifying all these geotopolitical risks
[3:29] Speaker 2: that we potentially expect if they focus too much on,
[3:34] Speaker 2: for example, the US. Obviously there is a big commitment
[3:37] Speaker 2: to investing more in the US, but just being able
[3:40] Speaker 2: to kind of diversify that supply chain to other countries,
[3:45] Speaker 2: especially Japan, which has been a big ally for Taiwan
[3:48] Speaker 2: is overall good for not just TFSMC, but also the
[3:52] Speaker 2: semiconductor supply chain in Taiwan. And I also just wanted
[3:56] Speaker 2: to highlight that something very interesting recently has been happening
[3:59] Speaker 2: is that because TSMC has been rising so much and
[4:02] Speaker 2: that it is getting close to actually about fifty percent
[4:05] Speaker 2: of its mark of the overall Taiwanese stock market market cap,
[4:10] Speaker 2: so some of the fund managers who are capped in
[4:14] Speaker 2: terms of how much exposure they can have for TSMC
[4:17] Speaker 2: had to kind of trim a bit of that exposure
[4:19] Speaker 2: just because how much TSMC has been rising, and that
[4:22] Speaker 2: they have been diversifying into some of the other names
[4:27] Speaker 2: in Taiwan along the supply chains. So we're seeing that
[4:31] Speaker 2: some smaller companies in Taiwan, specifically the memory chip companies,
[4:36] Speaker 2: have been doing very greatly this year. It's jumped some
[4:40] Speaker 2: of the names I was checking just now, the names
[4:43] Speaker 2: like power chip, names like Nanya, they are jumping some
[4:48] Speaker 2: fifty percent or forty percent just so far this year.
[4:52] Speaker 2: So it's interesting to see how this whole global memory
[4:56] Speaker 2: crunch story is benefiting lots of the smaller Asian memory
[5:01] Speaker 2: chip makers, and they are kind of these hidden real
[5:04] Speaker 2: winners in AI so far this year when you look
[5:09] Speaker 2: at this whole AI kpex and memory crunch story versus
[5:16] Speaker 2: the companies that are really getting hit were the were
[5:19] Speaker 2: the old favorites foreign investors, right. We were talking about
[5:23] Speaker 2: Nintendo Sony for example, that just had their earnings this week,
[5:27] Speaker 2: but the highlight a lot of it was on that
[5:29] Speaker 2: struggle with the memory crunch. So that's why you saw
[5:32] Speaker 2: Nintendo's shares down about eleven percent after earnings. And also
[5:37] Speaker 2: Sony had a bit of a jump in shares right
[5:40] Speaker 2: after earnings because the results were actually positive, but that
[5:44] Speaker 2: memory crunch actually kept the upside of stocks and hence
[5:50] Speaker 2: Sony actually wiped out all of its gains just yesterday.
[5:54] Speaker 1: So we're about a little more than a week away
[5:57] Speaker 1: from the Lunar New Year holiday. You are in home,
[6:00] Speaker 1: and I'm curious about what the betting is right now
[6:03] Speaker 1: on the way in which consumers are going to engage
[6:06] Speaker 1: during the Lunar New Year festivities.
[6:09] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very interesting because yes, for sure we are
[6:12] Speaker 2: seeing more of that kind of festive vibe coming up.
[6:16] Speaker 2: And in terms of investment, actually, when you look at
[6:20] Speaker 2: yesterday's stock market, for example, the sector that was doing
[6:24] Speaker 2: very well yesterday in the Hong Kong China market is
[6:27] Speaker 2: actually a consumer sector, like you mentioned, whether it's restaurant names,
[6:32] Speaker 2: local cosmetics brands, or even popmar actually jumped a lot
[6:37] Speaker 2: as well, and that is with the expectation that people
[6:40] Speaker 2: are going to spend more into this Lunar New Year.
[6:44] Speaker 2: And that is also part of again we are going
[6:47] Speaker 2: back to the tech sell off story, but that rotation
[6:51] Speaker 2: out of tech right so, we are seeing rotation away
[6:54] Speaker 2: from the growth stocks, whether it's due to the worries
[6:58] Speaker 2: around AI or due to kind of just global yields
[7:02] Speaker 2: very high right now, so higher funding costs and rotating
[7:05] Speaker 2: into these value driven names. So a lot of that
[7:09] Speaker 2: are in the consumer sector. So it's kind of two
[7:13] Speaker 2: factors in play. One of that like the global sell
[7:16] Speaker 2: off going on and the rotation into defensive names. And yes,
[7:21] Speaker 2: like you said, the Lunar New Year definitely also provided
[7:25] Speaker 2: another new catalyst for this sector.
[7:27] Speaker 1: So we've talked a lot about tech stocks in Asia.
[7:30] Speaker 1: I'm curious as to how some of them, let's call
[7:32] Speaker 1: them the old economy stocks are performing in Hong Kong.
[7:35] Speaker 1: I'm thinking of property even some of the banks, how
[7:39] Speaker 1: are they holding up.
[7:41] Speaker 2: Yeah, So that is actually a very interesting trend that
[7:44] Speaker 2: we've recently observed over the past few months because yes,
[7:49] Speaker 2: hs Tech specifically the hand Saying Tech index is actually
[7:54] Speaker 2: close to a bear level at this point, so down
[7:57] Speaker 2: about twenty percent since it's October because the global sell
[8:00] Speaker 2: off because of kind of lack of catalysts when it
[8:02] Speaker 2: comes to news around deepseek for example. But on the
[8:05] Speaker 2: other hand, when you look at Hanshn's Property index or
[8:10] Speaker 2: the financials index, they're up some ten percent in the
[8:13] Speaker 2: past three months, and that is again part of rotation,
[8:17] Speaker 2: but they have their own factors. When it comes to property,
[8:20] Speaker 2: we actually saw home prices jumped, I believe three point
[8:24] Speaker 2: five percent year over year, and that is actually the
[8:28] Speaker 2: first increase in four years. So the data came out
[8:33] Speaker 2: earlier last last week. So that basically gave a brighter
[8:38] Speaker 2: outlook when it comes to the housing market for Hong Kong,
[8:41] Speaker 2: and beyond that, when it comes to the financial sector.
[8:44] Speaker 2: Because of these IPO pipelines that we've been talking about,
[8:48] Speaker 2: it actually provides a more vibrant capital market view when
[8:53] Speaker 2: it comes to Hong Kong's banking sector as well. So
[8:56] Speaker 2: lots of bets on that. But because also of this
[9:00] Speaker 2: whole global geopolitical tension, people do prefer higher yield stocks,
[9:06] Speaker 2: so a lot of that is also in these sectors.
[9:10] Speaker 2: So quite an interesting dynamic that we're seeing playing out
[9:14] Speaker 2: that the old economy names like you mentioned are actually
[9:19] Speaker 2: back and play in Hong Kong.
[9:20] Speaker 1: It's very interesting. Winnie, Thank you so very much. Bloomberg's
[9:23] Speaker 1: Winnie Sue. She is Asia equities reporter joining from Hong
[9:27] Speaker 1: Kong here on the Daybreak Asia podcast. Welcome back to
[9:37] Speaker 1: the Daybreak Asia Podcast. I'm Dog Prisner. It's only been
[9:40] Speaker 1: three months since sun of Atagichi was elected as Japan's
[9:44] Speaker 1: first female premier, and now she's on the verge of
[9:48] Speaker 1: a snap election. It's been called for Sunday, February eighth.
[9:51] Speaker 1: This may be an attempt to convert her strong approval
[9:54] Speaker 1: ratings into a clear mandate for a new ruling coalition. Victory,
[10:00] Speaker 1: to say, may provide her public support for a spending
[10:03] Speaker 1: and investment plan for economic growth. For a closer look,
[10:07] Speaker 1: I'm joined by Bloomberg Sokkara Murakami. She covers the economies
[10:10] Speaker 1: of Japan and South Korea for Bloomberg News Sokkara joins
[10:14] Speaker 1: us from our studios in Tokyo. Thank you for being here.
[10:17] Speaker 1: Can you add to anything that I said previously in
[10:21] Speaker 1: terms of trying to create a bit of context for
[10:23] Speaker 1: this election.
[10:25] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[10:26] Speaker 3: So Takeichi became Prime Minister last October, and she's enjoyed
[10:32] Speaker 3: like very strong personal popularity throughout her three four months
[10:36] Speaker 3: in office. Now, the thing is she doesn't have a
[10:39] Speaker 3: majority in either chamber of the Parliament, and so she's
[10:44] Speaker 3: seen a lot of difficulty pushing through her policies. She
[10:49] Speaker 3: has a raiser thin majority in the lower House, but
[10:52] Speaker 3: you know, if one person falls ill and can't turn
[10:54] Speaker 3: up to vote, she loses that majority. So in order
[10:57] Speaker 3: to consolidate her power in order to pushed through some
[11:00] Speaker 3: of the more yes controversial or like bigger policies that
[11:06] Speaker 3: she's trying to push through, she's called a snap election.
[11:10] Speaker 3: It came as a surprise, no one was really expecting it.
[11:13] Speaker 3: But she's really banking on her personal popularity to translate
[11:17] Speaker 3: that into votes and actually consolidate her power in the
[11:21] Speaker 3: lower House and as the Prime minister as well.
[11:25] Speaker 1: So we're very aware of the problem with inflation in Japan,
[11:29] Speaker 1: and I'm sure that households across the country have been
[11:31] Speaker 1: feeling the pinch. Is that a big part of her
[11:34] Speaker 1: agenda here dealing with higher prices?
[11:37] Speaker 3: Yes, definitely. So through her initial months as Prime Minister,
[11:42] Speaker 3: she's consistently said that her top priority is the cost
[11:46] Speaker 3: of living crisis, lowering prices for the average household, and
[11:51] Speaker 3: in polls, you know, that is the top concern for voters.
[11:55] Speaker 3: So when she called the snap election, she said we're
[11:59] Speaker 3: going to look into cutting the sales tax on food
[12:04] Speaker 3: for two years. This was kind of a big deal
[12:09] Speaker 3: for her party because her party has always been against
[12:12] Speaker 3: cutting taxes. The thing is, she's kind of toned that
[12:18] Speaker 3: down during the campaign. In the initial days of the campaign,
[12:22] Speaker 3: she was, you know, like touting it as like one
[12:24] Speaker 3: of the main policies of the LDP, the ruling LDP,
[12:28] Speaker 3: But she's not brought that up as much. There are
[12:31] Speaker 3: probably several reasons for that, but one of them is
[12:33] Speaker 3: that all of the parties are now campaigning on a
[12:36] Speaker 3: sales tax cut to varying degrees. If anything, Takaichi's policies
[12:41] Speaker 3: are more fiscally responsible because the sales tax cut would
[12:44] Speaker 3: only be for two years compared to forever.
[12:47] Speaker 1: Whether you think the behavior of the bond market recently
[12:50] Speaker 1: probably had a little bit of impact on her approach
[12:53] Speaker 1: or her way of thinking. Is that possible?
[12:55] Speaker 3: That is possible. She's also come under fire recently for
[13:01] Speaker 3: how do I say this suggesting that the week yen
[13:05] Speaker 3: is good for Japan for example. Well, she didn't say
[13:08] Speaker 3: it as clearly, but she's having to play this sort
[13:12] Speaker 3: of this balancing act with stocks, with the bond market,
[13:17] Speaker 3: and with the yen, and it's a very delicate balancing
[13:20] Speaker 3: act for her. It seems like the markets are concerned about,
[13:25] Speaker 3: you know, they're wondering about her fiscal responsibility. She has
[13:30] Speaker 3: consistently said we need to invest more, we need to
[13:33] Speaker 3: spend more, but be fiscally responsible at the same time.
[13:38] Speaker 3: Whether how she intends to pay for, for example, the
[13:41] Speaker 3: sales tax cut, that's not clear yet though, So we'll
[13:47] Speaker 3: just have to see if she wins the election and
[13:51] Speaker 3: what the plan is after she wins the election.
[13:53] Speaker 1: So what do you think the risk is of taka
[13:55] Speaker 1: Ichi miscalculating and ending up in a situation similar to
[13:59] Speaker 1: what was with UK Prime Minister Liz Trust.
[14:02] Speaker 3: The thing with Takaichi is that she has consistently although
[14:09] Speaker 3: the messaging might have gotten lost at times, especially because
[14:12] Speaker 3: with such like a huge policy like cutting the sales
[14:15] Speaker 3: tax on food. For two years, she has been very
[14:19] Speaker 3: very careful about trying to put out the message that
[14:24] Speaker 3: she will be fiscally irresponsible. The problem with that messaging
[14:28] Speaker 3: is that she hasn't actually clarified where the funding will
[14:33] Speaker 3: come from. So, you know, it's vague at this point
[14:37] Speaker 3: on the point of how she's going to be fiscally irresponsible.
[14:41] Speaker 3: But that being said, the sales tax cut is nowhere
[14:45] Speaker 3: near as big as Liz Trust's plan. You know, experts
[14:49] Speaker 3: are saying we're not going to see a Liz Trust
[14:53] Speaker 3: style kind of downfall. Takaii knows what she's doing. She
[14:59] Speaker 3: understands the messaging. You know, she's a pretty savvy politician,
[15:04] Speaker 3: and from what I can tell, the sales tax cut
[15:08] Speaker 3: policy is really for the campaign for the election. That
[15:12] Speaker 3: messaging could change after she wins or if she wins,
[15:17] Speaker 3: and she's already starting to tone down the wording there.
[15:21] Speaker 3: She's already starting to say, oh, you know, we're going
[15:24] Speaker 3: to accelerate the conversation on cutting the sales tax. You know,
[15:27] Speaker 3: she's not pledging the sales tax cut immediately already, so
[15:31] Speaker 3: eliztra style meltdown is probably not on the books.
[15:35] Speaker 1: What about her comments on Taiwan in the way in
[15:39] Speaker 1: which leadership in Beijing was a little aggravated by those
[15:43] Speaker 1: remarks helped me understand the extent to which she is
[15:47] Speaker 1: committed to spending more on defense and whether the story
[15:51] Speaker 1: on Taiwan is a part of that strategy.
[15:54] Speaker 3: So Takagi's already pledged to accelerate defense spending. She wants
[16:00] Speaker 3: to spend more on defense in general, and that's all
[16:04] Speaker 3: part of her plan for a more assertive, more bold,
[16:08] Speaker 3: more stronger Japan. Basically that definitely is exemplified in her
[16:14] Speaker 3: remarks on Taiwan back in November. Her stance of not
[16:19] Speaker 3: taking back those comments kind of makes sense in the
[16:22] Speaker 3: context of things that the government did say. It doesn't
[16:25] Speaker 3: indicate a change in the government's position on Taiwan, and
[16:29] Speaker 3: also there's no need to take back the comments, but
[16:32] Speaker 3: it has come across us the kind of strong leadership
[16:36] Speaker 3: style that the Japanese people might be maybe might expect
[16:40] Speaker 3: from her if she wins a mandate in the following election.
[16:44] Speaker 3: It kind of is a taster of what we can
[16:46] Speaker 3: expect in terms of the relationship between Japan and China
[16:50] Speaker 3: as well. So that's kind that all kind of fits
[16:54] Speaker 3: into her style of being a strong leader and putting
[16:57] Speaker 3: Japan back on the international scene as well.
[17:00] Speaker 1: So I mentioned her strong approval ratings. What do we
[17:03] Speaker 1: know about the distribution of her support demographically? I mean,
[17:08] Speaker 1: I'm thinking in particular of young people in Japan. Does
[17:11] Speaker 1: she have a strong following, strong support, Yeah.
[17:15] Speaker 3: Definitely, She's She's very personable in a way that we
[17:21] Speaker 3: haven't seen in recent Japanese prime ministers. She's very popular
[17:25] Speaker 3: among the younger generations in polls I think back. I
[17:31] Speaker 3: think last year there were some polls that showed like
[17:34] Speaker 3: almost a ninety percent approval rating among people who were
[17:39] Speaker 3: on the younger side. So very very popular. There's I
[17:46] Speaker 3: think part of that comes from her ability to connect
[17:50] Speaker 3: with an online audience. She's very active on x in
[17:55] Speaker 3: a way that her predecessors haven't been. She you know,
[18:01] Speaker 3: she's personal. She talks about dyeing her hair. She has
[18:03] Speaker 3: these handbags and you know, pens, and it's you know,
[18:09] Speaker 3: she has a strong fan base. Basically. Her messaging is
[18:12] Speaker 3: also very clear and straightforwardlike previous prime ministers who sometimes
[18:19] Speaker 3: you know, waffled on or what they were trying to do.
[18:22] Speaker 3: What they were trying to say wasn't very clear. So
[18:25] Speaker 3: she's very forthright, very direct, and that has a massive
[18:28] Speaker 3: appeal among younger generations. And yeah, basically people under sixty
[18:34] Speaker 3: from what I understand.
[18:35] Speaker 1: Another issue that Japanese citizenry have been dealing with lately
[18:41] Speaker 1: is this idea of immigration, and is do you think
[18:43] Speaker 1: that's going to have a meaningful impact in the election
[18:47] Speaker 1: results that we're about to see.
[18:50] Speaker 3: Yes, most probably all of the parties now have kind
[18:54] Speaker 3: of shifted towards this kind of narrative of like we
[19:00] Speaker 3: need to do something about immigration, we need to kind
[19:04] Speaker 3: of tighten the rules around immigration, to varying degrees depending
[19:09] Speaker 3: on the party. But one of the parties that the
[19:12] Speaker 3: polls also predict will do quite well in this election
[19:15] Speaker 3: is Sanseto, which is a pretty fringe for now right
[19:19] Speaker 3: wing party, and they have constantly campaigned on, you know,
[19:25] Speaker 3: very sort of having harsh rules or very strict rules
[19:31] Speaker 3: against immigrants. One thing to note though, is that overall
[19:36] Speaker 3: Japan understands that it's one of the biggest issues that
[19:39] Speaker 3: faces is declining population.
[19:42] Speaker 1: Demographic change too, right.
[19:44] Speaker 3: Yes, demographic change, declining population and just like the shrinking
[19:50] Speaker 3: workforce basically, and there is a tone of reality around
[19:55] Speaker 3: the fact that, you know, there is this understanding that
[19:59] Speaker 3: Japan is probably going to have to rely on immigrants
[20:03] Speaker 3: to solve this issue. So the kind of discussion around
[20:07] Speaker 3: it is like, how can we be opened to immigrants
[20:12] Speaker 3: who are going to be able to integrate into Japanese
