lift, aussie oil stocks their highest in years. let's get back to our top story, strength and china, the official factory gauge the highest since july 2014, 51.7, expecting just 51. rishaad: a private survey showing growth, but below what the thinking is out there. tom mackenzie, take it away. 51.7.he official number we have been looking into the details of this number, strong new orders from the manufacturing sector. we saw that in october as well. export demand has picked up, consumers still playing a role.

that is some of the breakdown we are getting. picking upe prices for the first time in four years earlier this year, so proving positive as well. inflation is helping the manufacturing sector as well. industry,in the steel and on the nonmanufacturing side, strength of their as well. the official number coming in for october at 54, and strengthened again this month back around 53.7. then, we have questions over the growth drivers when it comes to what we are seeing in the manufacturing sector. analysts saying this is further evidence of cheap credit going thate manufacturers, and the state owned enterprises are benefiting from it. expandeder firms have at a less quick paced than

previous months. consumption helping to some degree, so there is the verge and's between large companies and how quickly they are expanding and the smaller firms. does give an element of strength to policymakers going forward here in china. recovery hasf this been driven by loose monetary policy and turning on the leverage taps. what is the likely response from policymakers to this data? consensus seems to be that there is no need for any tightening at this stage. any loosening of monetary policy at this stage, that there will be steps towards gradual, moderate tightening because they want to keep this balance, where as they want to rein in this credit and ensure that growth

continues, a tricky balance to get, but they are now firmly on target. this gives them a stronger platform in which to continue to tackle, for example, the house price mending, credit to home lending, and trying to rein in those prices and tackle some of the excess credit in some of the older sectors, steel and coal industry. seen strength in the steel industry and manufacturing from this november pmi data. this window won't stay open forever. haidi: certainly. tom mckenzie there for us. let's talk about oil. rishaad: front and center after the opec deal. , theer than many expected first output cut in eight years. let's find out more. it extends beyond the

cartel members. let's get some analysis from singapore. we were talking about this yesterday. i guess we were managing expectations. how did this come together in the end? were going up, we to this meeting and it looked like saudi arabia, iran, and iraq had big gaps. saudi arabia and iraq made the biggest cuts of any members and opec, saudi arabia 500,000 barrels a day, iraq 200,000 barrels a day. that allowed iran to get what it wanted, to keep increasing production, but it agreed to increase it to a smaller level than it wanted to. those members on board, everyone else fell in line. it is not just the members of opec. it is also russia, the world's biggest producer of oil,

agreeing to cut its production by 300,000 barrels a day after saying it would prefer to freeze as opposed to cut, so everyone coming together to try to stem this overflow of inventory in the world. it seems to have worked for one day at least with prices shooting up 10%. outside of opec, who does the market see as the winners and losers here? in theare seeing it equity markets all over the world. producers of energy are the big winners, the u.s. s&p 500 sub index for producers went up the most since 2008. oil producers in australia are benefiting. seeingina, so you're these guys as the big winners. big users like airlines have been heard. pricess who like low oil because they buy oil and want to sell gasoline cheaply, they are hurt by this. in the long run, there is a big

question about the oil market. morgan stanley said that while higher oil prices are good now, it will lead to more investment, which down the road might lead to further instability and oil price this time next year. haidi: while opec was putting the finishing touches on this deal, indonesia suspended its membership in the group. what happen this time? >> indonesia was a longtime member of opec. in 2008, it suspended its membership saying we are no longer a big oil exporter. then last year after president -- came into office, they came back and got to this meeting and saw again, realizing higher oil production cuts come higher oil prices benefit them, so they decided to bow out again.

long time coming to the reunion to only last a year, but indonesia back at the net importers table instead of the net exporters table now. haidi: thank you so much for that. the oil priceurse has gone up so much, energy companies are on a tear. let's get the latest. juliette: it was the first cut in eight years. you are seeing australia's energy sector have its biggest 7% inn eight years, up the oil and gas sector, the best gain in the sector since october 2008. out of the five major players in that space, zero are falling, five rising, led i woodside petroleum, up right over 6%. beach energy13%, also strong there.

where we have seen the negative affect is in terms of those airlines. this will weigh a little on their profits, so some of these players in the region coming under pressure, singapore air down 1%, japan airlines off by 2%. deal did this surprise catch the market by surprise, so to speak, and you are seeing solid gains across the region. also, we have seen the dollar yen weaker.in similarly in hong kong, energy producers lifting the hang seng petrochina, sinopec, all this having a massive positive

affect in terms of equities, but you are seeing bonds completely sold off under new to of higher inflation. you're seeing the australian yield on the tenure and -- 10-year note up a by seven points. similarly japan, movement coming through in the yield as well, but an impressive day for equities particularly in that energy space. rishaad: thank you. the latest on the energy companies on a bit of a tear. haidi: great day for oil prices. let's get the latest first word news with sophie kamaruddin. sophie: donald's nominee for treasury secretary says there will be no tax cut for what he calls the upper class. steve mnuchin told cnbc that high income tax reductions would be offset by fear deductions. he said he would label china a currency manipulator if warranted. says tax reform is

showing strength, maintaining that improvement. however, it reinforces that picture that it is the old economy driving the recovery. rishaad: how solid is the stabilization? getting over to singapore, thank you for joining us. it shows we have the old economy doing the heavy lifting. that is good news at the end of the day. i mean, perhaps it is also bad news because it shows the rebalancing has not really gain traction. -- gained traction. >> i think that it is also good show acause the pmi does lot of the demand coming through is from domestic demand, so probably not just the industries driving the growth. it is also the smaller companies or medium-size companies as well

as large companies driving improvement in the chinese manufacturing economy. haidi: i want to show you this chart, which looks at the last couple of years when it comes to this pmi gauge. we have not seen the official manufacturing pmi at these levels since 2014. we've been talking about this to versions picture when it comes to the old and new economies, state-owned companies versus private smes, how would policymakers be reacting to this? recovery ise driven not sustainable forever. policy, theof government is probably still going to stay on the course of rebalancing the economy. the survey shows we have seen economy, soin the there is some form of growth coming in through the chinese

market, and i think that going forward, probably there is less markers tor policy divert from what they are currently in terms of their policy settings. rishaad: absolutely, that's just it, but right now front and is this opec deal. i think it is the biggest cut in output and eight years or thereabouts. did this, as a surprised you? is it good news overall? price factor, the whether they will cut, i think there is a lot of noise in the markets about that. think this is positive for oil prices, but having said that, i think we have seen commodity prices .ising rapidly in the month

have seen inflationary pressure is starting to pick up in our surveys again. haidi: given this bounce in the oil price and newfound optimism in the markets, do we see another leg for the commodities rally? >> i think in terms of the , again, you look at the sub indices and the global pmi surveys, the numbers recently, we have seen a sharp rise in input costs, part of it driven by a rise in commodity prices such as industrial metals and part of this is also oil. deliveryof suppliers times, were not seeing suppliers get easier, so this does suggest that there is a lot of speculation in the market .riving up in put prices in terms of fundamentals, as of now, the pmi is not indicating a fundamental reason or driver for

in put prices. one of the net losers of high energy prices live in the amount of energy they import is japan. they seem to not be able to get it together, can they? what needs to be done? >> in terms of japan, the pmi number does show some pickup in inflationary pressure. in fact, after 10 months of numbers, deflation inflation has picked up, at least ever lies, so we can see that probably get some room for the boj to sit back and let their current policy settings go on. in terms of the manufacturing sector, we have also seen the manufacturing economy being led by that to growth in exports, so that it is also positive, and that also reflects a combination

of factors, including the recent depreciation in the yen, reviving demand in many export the markets. -- export markets. as well as stronger japanese economic growth. haidi: i want to talk about the dollar and where it goes from here. if you assume the market is feeling good about the president-elect pick, business friendly, wall street friendly, if we assume for the strength come how a struggle is a country like malaysia in? >> i think if we see further dollar strength, that will be negative for countries with high foreign debt, because the higher dollar strength also is premised on the fact that the market will see higher u.s. interest rates, and that will probably affect emerging-market debt. foreign u.s. denominated debt.

rishaad: i guess indonesia is in the same boat. you are an economist and not them are specialist, at what point do we see the money returned to emerging markets, and where will it go in your view? who has the strongest fundamentals? economy --ms of the think in terms of the economy, the current economic conditions they do show some pickup in asia manufacturing economies, but of course the pickup is not broad-based across all the asian countries. performe some that will better, for example, china and japan showing stronger signs of manufacturing sector, while we have other countries such as malaysia and decline inhowing a the manufacturing sector, so in

terms of the current economic settings for this country, it is quite divergent at the moment. rishaad: thank you very much indeed. haidi: up next, after recording its worst month against the dollar in two decades, we look at what is next for the yen. this is bloomberg. ♪

haidi: november brought the dollar its biggest monthly gain against the yen since 1995, a near certainty that fed will push rates higher. we do have some event risks this weekend. referendum have the in italy. that could set up the yen as a haven. how much further are people taking this rally and

dollar-yen? how far can it go? question, really the isn't it? there is a split, not surprisingly, and the split revolves around the policies of donald trump. he was vocal in campaigning for two things, tax cuts and infrastructure spending, which is what the market seems to have keyed on, those reflationary policies. at the same time, he was protectionist in his rhetoric and the dollar-yen their camp is saying that the market has got it wrong and once trump gets going, he will be implementing protectionist policies first, quickee an unwind of the surgeon dollar-yen we have seen through november. not everyone is a dollar-yen whole. what are some of the bears saying in this context? >> that is exactly it, isn't it?

,he protectionist idea really but when they comes down to what the actual policies are going to look like, bulls and bears alike are saying we don't know yet. we don't have enough clarity yet. one strategist i was speaking to 115 should be the limit of where we can go based on expectations for what is going to happen. through 115break earlier today, a new nine-month high for dollar-yen, but the there, so rebuffed the first number to watch is 115, but certainly there are seeing it going higher as lower, but people including morgan stanley for example who see it going beyond 120. their call is 130 by the middle much longera

they like bigger cars. we see cars like bentley putting out its first suv, and bentley saying it had strong demand from china for that. surged this year, up 546% in the first 10 months of the year, 35% of total passenger vehicles in china now. then talking about suvs and luxury, this bentley we are looking at right now, this starts at 3.9 8 million yuan, $570,000 without bells and whistles. in termsit is limited of how fast it can go to 301 kilometers per hour. >> it is a heavy car, very spacious, and in the past, carmakers have said they have had to change because they like

we are not quite ready for green cars, singapore for example. >> it requires a lot of changes. it is customer behavior. we are used to combustion engine cars. we see around the world that it witho be a certain way manufacturers in the government that wants to have the change to give customers certain incentives. it does not always mean financial incentives. we have countries where you can use the bus lane for free or free parking, that encourages people to try our new technology. we are strong believers in the future that will be electric and therefore we are pushing products in the market. haslinda: were looking at what, 10 your timeframe for asia? >> it also depends on the market. in china, you see a lot of electric cars on the road. a lot of local manufacturers pushing into the electric car, but as long as there is not an

incentive by the government, it will take longer, but we see many governments thinking about moving to that direction and giving incentives to the customer. a competitives space, and tesla wants to dominate that space. how are you competing with the likes of tesla in the green car area? happyst of all, i am about any competitor going into that market because it allows us to know the confidence in the , and tesla is obviously doing very good marketing. and you compare figures, they are selling 50,000 cars globally this year. bmw is doing over 2 million, and were planning to sell 100,000 electric or hybrid cars next year already, so i think the market is really growing very fast now. haslinda: what kind of expansion rate are you looking at? >> sorry? haslinda: what kind of expansion rate are you looking at? cars, 30-50
