declines of over 1%, we're looking that in the asia-pacific. look at the boards here. it took place in august of 2015. that is when china devalued its counties. these things don't happen to often. is this a bear market? no it is not, it is a healthy correction. do those conditions involved? we're watching the long end of the year curve. watch what we are seeing across the measure of volatility. a lot of people were talking about but not a lot of people were positioned for the sharp moves we're seeing across several asset classes right now. sophie, you are following the open for taiwan and malaysia in singapore, not good. this is the biggest drop for

the index since 2013. there will be more intervention on monday. you had a government controlled banks buying shares to stabilize the market in taipei and over in singapore we have ustr sliding for the third straight day. thet of the over 2% for klci. i want to highlight what is happening across this column of red. you have the nikkei 225 sliding 4.25%. we have aussie shares sliding. this is set for the worst three-day drop since august of 2015. i want to highlight the korean -- yuan.u korean investors will only have the latest lose -- news from the capital gains tax for foreign investors. that is being delayed.

is driven mainly by uts. all of these things are part of the market dynamic. this is not something new. ballpoint of the rally has been driven by the same operation. this law is be a large part of any movement. i think there is a genuine reason for this pullback, this correction. i'll think it should be written off as going to the machines. >> yields from the u.s. tenure were down. we are giving a little it back. in any case, you can look at those as seen him entrance into the cell overnight. tell us any key takeaways from that trade overnight. >> i think we will see treasuries continue. in january, the move was really incredible. yields move.r u.s. this was in the last five months.

especially since inflation has not take up that much. headline inflation is still very subdued. inflation continues to disappoint. the world is connected. it is unlikely the u.s. will see runaway inflation. that was kind of expected. like every other asset, treasuries get affected by momentum. a market thatg at has been structurally bullish for a long time. .he market is much fresher suddenly those yields look very attractive. it is still a safe haven hazard. you can expect this to continue to move higher. haidi: what do we get from here on? if the fundamental reasons have not changed, we saw this when there was very little on the macro calendar. the tax benefit story has still yet to play out and valuations are looking much more

attractive. do we see another one down? >> i see another leg down. growth is still there but i think fundamentals have changed massively. are not fundamental but volatility is exploding. that will affect banks and hedge funds for the whole rest of the year. the latest how good it a backlog -- backward looking window. the defense which hedge fund back to you are out. this week will blow out those levels everywhere. suddenly leverage will be reduced versus the stable. thise same time, we have extraordinary tight and we have seen in yields and that did accelerate in the last few days. this was another really big shift in fundamentals. i think it is bizarre to center has been a change. we see that january was a record month and so many equity markets which further reduces liquidity because it shows less on the sidelines. we have seen a big change in

liquidity. the last month accelerated in the last few days. all of this, together means there has been a big change in fundamentals. i think we have another big leg down. when we go into bear markets or bearish trading markets, there can be very powerful banks. they are chasing their tails a little bit. just because we're 3.5% benefits, doesn't me too much. -- mean too much. >> you can follow mark and all of his team portrayed transaction analysis. all of that is on your bloomberg -- mliv . a quick check of markets right now. -.2 .7%. -- -2.7%. let's get more on the sell off. partition however, he joins

us on the line from the gold coast. thank you for making time to come on the program. your analysts looked at you during your morning calls this morning, what were your marching orders and have those orders changed? >> they had not changed. , it is longrrection overdue given the relative stability in the u.s. share market last year. into they use gains we saw all the bullish talk everyone was talking about a meltdown. so a correction was long overdue, the reality is that u.s. earnings were very strong. historically you don't go into major bear markets unless there is a recession on the horizon and i can't see that. by the same token it is way too early to say the pullback is finished. there was a lot of downside momentum. you could go for a wild edge.

the key is to look for the by opportunity. we are waiting for the market to get oversold. we are waiting for some more bearish talk. they are saying this is a, we have had it. we are going to a bear market. at aboutoment we are 20% in cash. that is about 25% in bonds and inflation protection and so on. they're looking for opportunities to deploy that. at the moment it is still too early. >> some are saying don't get in at the moment. you get to the trading and pricing around those that don't get in. what are you guys doing now? >> we are sitting pretty tight. we are not piling into it on this point.

those probably accelerated by computerized trading and so on. somewhere when you sit tight. the process will at some point -- there will be opportunities out there to fill in the moment to stop piling in. >> is this a nice opportunity to take a closer look at china? it is turning out to be one of the havens given we are seeing supportive blows from the mainland to hong kong. the national team is being mobilized. it is -- is that somewhere you can hide during this. ? >> it could be but there is dangerous in there as well. china's share market can be volatile. i think the real issue in all of

-- it is the fundamentals, it is pushing into expensive territory, look around the rest of the world. whether it is china or europe or japan. there is opportunities out there and i think those opportunities are going to be realized going forward. be a lot more constrained, a lot more volatility. that is going to continue where is other countries, they are way behind the u.s.. they don't have the inflation risks that the u.s. has. i think it is a case of walking up. .ot going forward this is a very different environment than what we have seen in the past.

haidi: a final word. sizable had that pretty miss on retail sales and the trade balance as well -- is it 18 straight months of sitting on their hands? what can they do at this point? shame: the best they can do is nothing. the idea is between a rock and a hard place. this is the downside. the markets are slowing down. the housing cycle is turning over. they still think the aussie dollar is below $.79. have record low wages.

point to thengs reserve banking on hold and being on hold for some time to come. this is very different to bond crashes in the past. this was on the back of aggressive tightening in the u.s.. this time, a lot more gradual in the u.s.. and a still more gradual rate hike is still some time away. >> we have to leave it there. shane oliver. we will get an update to first word news. paul? paul: the acceleration in the u.s. which work doesn't support faster rate hikes.

the new fed under jay powell will really pick things up. quite it is interesting, i saw that note. it was out there with the global labor market. bigplummet and all the ones. the roast story, that inflation was sent to celebrate. in the rest of the world, it is pretty subdued with weak dollars playing a big role. we did get some fairly tasty inflation. this is tightening this week. i think that the inflation story right now is still one with no real sign of rapid acceleration. the question is whether or not it can. -- continue there.

these are growth profiles. >> this is the fed rate hike as a result of this market turmoil. there is a cap that says this often happens at the head of the fed. it is testing how market from age of how will be. policymakers start taking market volatility into consideration in their policymaking? >> they say they are not responsive for the spillover effect in terms of triggering volatility around the world but they are very cognizant of it. if you think back to the g20 and shanghai a few years ago when they were making sure they were communicating very clearly with each other -- there is a spillover effect.

it goes back to this question of how durable and how long lasting the selloff will be. if it reaches a point where it starts to impact confidence, business confidence, consumer sentiment than the fed would have a different outlook. that goes for other central banks around the world. i suspect right here, right now they're happy to stand back and see how this washes out. markets have had a big run-up over the last couple of years. it is a question of where it goes from here. there is no doubt that it will keep it under volatility. lots of people saying this is the healthy correction on the blood price we have had. this is the current chief asian economic in hong kong. let's get you to first word news. >> deceleration annulus wage growth doesn't necessarily support the faster rate hike. the jobs report indicated that

other digital tokens lower as we speak. guest is here to tell us what is driving sentiment lower at the moment. >> it's a combination of things. we have the ongoing concerns about regulatory scrutiny that we've been talking about all year, really. we are hearing overnight that two of the top u.s. regulators will be speaking at a senate hearing on tuesday and calling for more action from congress there. just emphasizing the ramp up in regulatory scrutiny. also a slew of credit card issuers are talking about banning purchases with bit -- bitcoin on their credit cards in part to protect consumers. and also hearing from china that they are stepping up efforts to crack down on cryptocurrencies, trying to stamp out speculation they been working on for months now. so it's really a whole slew of things, more than enough to choose from if you're looking for reasons. david: you mentioned a few of

these reasons and were getting more details of that. is nothing new. what would you say would be the strongest force coming into the market? >> i think the u.s. news is pretty significant. obviously the u.s. is a big market. we seen in the past that south korea and japan are the hotbeds of cryptocurrency trading. we've seen a lot of news coming out of south korea over the last few weeks will not hurt as much from the u.s. we are starting to hear more from the u.s., so that may be where attention is shifting. david: give me a reason to be bullish. >> one we talked about the regulatory issues, if we do see an overhaul in the industry, there's the potential to be that are regulated and more confident in the markets. that may be a reason to get back into could to currencies. downside50 to the

upholding the sentence, possibly extending it. we did speculate if it was below three years, which it ended up being, that he could potentially walk free, and that is what he did. he left the seoul detention center and went home yesterday. a bit of a surprise, but if you look back at the history of the table and the leadership that fairiesn convicted of crimes including bribery and embezzlement and other malfeasance, they pretty much all either have gotten suspended sentences or pardoned by presidents in the past, even jay y lee's father was twice given suspended sentences despite a couple of convictions on bribery in 1996, tax evasion in 2008, and the history of a long list. chairman wasotor convicted of embezzlement and pardoned.

another was given a suspended sentence despite being charged with embezzlement. the cj group chairman, also embezzlement in 2014, suspended sentence. and the nsk chairman, twice sentence and also twice pardoned. you can see this is par for the course, if you want to call it that. david: not to question the course decision or the merits of the case for the prosecution, but this was supposed to be sort of a poster case for reform in aebol sector there. what does it mean for activist investors? good forit's not activist investors. bloomberg intelligence saying this wave that was supposedly gaining strength over the last six months since the conviction in that court in august,

giving him a five-year sentence, that wave of reform or at least the will to reform that was launched by president moon, which he campaigned on cleaning up the business as usual at the chaebol, that losing quite a bit of momentum with this reversal from the high court yesterday. see, are going to have to those activists investors perhaps will not be pushing for the types of reform internally now as hard as they would. stephen engle, thank you so much for that unexpected development out of korea. quick check of the latest business flash headlines. an indian affiliate said be talking to airbus about orders worth more than $8 billion. they want to tap into the travel plans of india's growing middle

>> we are in the middle of the trading day. i want to take a look at the index. taking our cues from the u.s. overnight. the banks falling not much more thatn 2%. blue chip stocks, dragging th e index. wilma, down 3%. and david, we keep talking about how we want to see the vix spike up, well, we had the vix spking up for the first time in a long time.

be careful what you wish for. david: mining, trading up. only six stocks are up on the asx. have a look at the aussie dollar. not a lot of movement. yields.so watching for any moment we should be getting the rba's decision. out with theba is latest rate decision and unexpected here. they are leaving the rate unchanged at 1.5%. that was expected by all 28 economists. let's get more details from sydney. the: yes, david, perhaps least anticipated rba meeting since the last one, or perhaps the 16 that preceded that as well. the cash rate remaining

untouched at 1.5%. a few headlines crossing the bloomberg now. the rba saying, low rates continue to support the australian economy, a rise in the australian dollar, and unchanged policy stable with economic growth. that is in line with what we have seen in almost every statement and unchanged policy consistent with meeting the cpi target. the rp a a mounting inflation is likely to remain lower for some time of if we take a quick look weakeningssi dollar, slightly on the back of this news. not a great number of surprises there. the rba is a knology inflation is likely to remain stable at some time. 188% of income, that is all stopping the rba from moving right now. i guess the question is, what does it mean for the rba? is it likely to move at all in

2018? paul: that is what we are waiting for. we knew the rba would not do anything today. so, what is going to happen down the track. as long as these persist, it is hard to make an argument to do anything. we had shane oliver on the show earlier today. he was saying the best option for the rba at the moment is to do nothing. that not withstanding, there are a couple brave economists who expect to see some tightening next month to 1.75%. and another expects to see some easing. as we get better clues from the swap starter, traders now pricing in november. all the way to the end of 2018 as the likeliest month for tightening, a. 78% chance. stil some of thosel -- still some of those key metrics.

it is hard to see the rba doing much in 2018. david: lower for longer there for the rba. let's get an update of your first word headlines with rosalind chin. reporter: elliott management is calling on bhp to review the structure to create a unified company. there was a $22 billion rise in value. 00. currently operates 2 and a new study shows central funds in australia has grown in the fastest pace of the world. 12.1% on average, outpacing the u.s., the u.k., and japan. assets were the key drivers of this growth. mario draghi has told the european parliament they must prepare for a hrder brexit.

to do with rates in 2018? will they make a mistake, hike them too high? i don't think there will be a lot of inflation, but this is the central bank's year. >> there are a lot of fundamentals around the market. the recovery we see around the world, that continues to be on the right path. so, we do believe that fundamentals will be recognized by the markets. hopefully trading opportunities for investors as well. >> if you look around the world, the u.s. and europe, and in asia, you still see robust economies. we expect growth. what you see now is digesting in the industry. let's look at the

selloff here across equity markets. we are joined by the equity strategist, jonathan. jonathan, thanks for making time to go in the program. i was looking at your report. it was dated this time last week, january 30. you stated 10 reasons why the hang seng would have a recovery. you saw this coming? reporter: we have been worried since last november. the global economy is in good shape, that's fine. we were at valuation levels that were exceptionally high, particularly for the nonfinancial part of the market. japan, the most expensive in 20 years, just before this setback. estimates had gotten too high, and we had a really big batch of investor euphoria. in january we saw an all-time

high inflow week. specifically in hong kong, we saw that explosion in january. all signs were coming that this was an overheated market. i guessrice drops, that is the positive side to this selloff. is today or the next few days a time to bother with rate fundamentals? should we wait this whole thing out first? jonathan: there is a lot of talk around a healthy correction. you need to be specific about which markets and look at how valuations adjust. we are just moving below our best case target for japan today, which is adjusting more quickly, the topix. it's selling off heavily now. again, just turning to move below our best his target. we need to see a correction that

will establish a 5% to 10% upside. strategies are starting to unwind and just how extremely investor euphoria was going into all of this. i doubt this will be a one or two day phenomenon. i expect it will be more longer-lasting. reporter: jonathan, that's hong kong. how about the rest of asia? how deep will the correction be? this sell off will be short-lived. yousef perhaps that is not the next few days, but how deep will it be? touched on the idea that japan is moving faster to this correction than elsewhere, but the deeper issue for asia, the tech space. last night just before the u.s. open, and our u.s. strategy team did something similar -- we downgraded tech. valuationswhere the

have been at their most extreme and where we start is the earnings revisions moving south. that speaks to the idea that this will be quite a long-lasting correction. so, i think where it is defensive, you were covering the markets in singapore. it's not tech heavy. it speaks more to the upstream energy sectors. i think those markets can be somewhat defensive. we think north asia is where the price action will be most severe of ththe areas. reporter: i want to touch on the vix. me people were saying, where is the volatility? now we see the volatility spike the most in a long time. what do you make of that? jonathan: you look at the one factor model -- it has moved to the high 130

given everything else we have talked about during the interview, i would not view that as a single factor. we do not know the way in which these current volatility suppression strategies, these quantitative strategies, get into difficulties. there are some signs around that. so, yeah,the vix is high, but i would not use that as a re ason to say, let's buy the dip. it is a far deeper problem around earnings. david: how does that translate to levels? people want to look at levels. the hang seng is at about 31,700. where do you think the money will come in? when do you think that will happen? jonathan: i said early in his interview i would like to see 5% to 10% clear up. 120.ase case target is offcould knock 5% to 10%

that. respecting the problem, which is that the earnings outlooks were too accessive. and the valuations were high going into this. the starting point was markets that have gotten way ahead of themselves. david: in terms of valuations, you are looking at the banks. what is reasonable valuation for the banks, just in case the dust settles, so i know what i am looking at? jonathan: i am not sure if you are asking about the hong kong banks or the hsci. david: chinese banks. jonathan: about .65 price-to-book. again, they had re-rated. not as much as the nonfinancial part of the market. they are a sector we would be interested in a cumulative on weakness, given the overall thesis on china. jonathan, thank you for

making time to go on the program today. a busy day. jonathan garner, em equity strategist. let's look at a chart of where we are. a few minutes time, we get the open, in four minutes to be exact. it doesn't look very good there, 3.5% declines there. on top of what we had yesterday. suffice it to say, we will see another lag lower in equities. reporter: still to come, the potential available in tech and china. the chairman and ceo joins us next. this is bloomberg. ♪

david: look at that. look at that.

could somebody clean the glass out of that window? that is likely what you see. you know what? the selloff is not the problem in that market. i say that every day. that is the problem. they heavily polluted day over in mumbai. we're looking at markets and futures, 3.5% lower. dear just about at the open of cash markets there. damage reports. sophie: we do have stocks continuing to slide. extending losses for a sixth consecutive session, joining that broad selloff. theas the rba knickicks off policy decision, oil prices lending support here, given easing worries over inflation. we have seen heavy losses in indian stocks for some time here.

insurance over the long-term capital gains tax in the federal budget. we were told the indian stock market has not yet topped out. this is a correction in the gold market. ray dalio said the stock climbs are a blip. reporter: you know, the bleeding we see in asia, it is really difficult to ignore blackstone's warning. sophie: you can see losses being led by japan, as well as taiwan. virtually all the southern stocks. there will soon be nowhere to hide. volatility is jumping as investors are looking for the bottom. asian stocks have wiped out the year's gain. the nikkei 225 will enter a correction on today's slump, a fall from january's high.

and even as we see mainland buying of hong kong stocks continue from what we saw on monday, that is not preventing the four day slide on the hang seng. chinese stocks could add to their holdings, which are cheaper than the a-share counterparts. the korean won leads the regional losses. the yen, back below the 119 handle. let's take a look at the bonds. the aussi debt, leading the rise. and maintaining gains after the rba held rates for a record 16th meeting. you have rates below the 2% level. david: just looking at those -- shades of red. so, yeah, i mean, three sigma moves across the market spread, but maybe we will revisit

fundamentals. let's look at the broader view across tech and china. when you look at the deals space, you are seeing more asian investors leaving their big-name employers to establish their own firms. you probably recognize paradigm advisors chairman ralph parks and ceo diao yang, both joining us on set. making time to appear on the show. we measured during the interim that more bankers are setting up shop. why do you think that is happening. generationat of bankers they run on 15 years ago is more mature. hand, on the client's side, they are demanding more direct access to deep domain knowledge on the

part of senior bankers and consistent service. there is an intersection of these two trends, and we find it gives rise to firms like paradigm. david: and it does not allow you to do that, having the backing of a larger firm? >> most reckitt firms have changed, probably for all time. and they have changed because of regulation, scale, large loss of numbers, and the demands that the firms place on their own independent business lines and silos of business inhibit this sort of experience i spoke about. enough tounate experience this over the duration of my long career. this --et's look at what are the big transactions you guys are working on? in a you cannot get into names, but what are the areas of excitement surrounding the tech space in china? >> we have focused on the chinese economy, the internet,

artificial intelligence is one of the areas we are focused on. we did a transaction for a $415 million raise for an artificial intelligence company based in beijing. they are a leading computer vision company with the open approach. it was started six years ago by two young scientists in china. david: what are the applications, though? soould imagine there is much excitement surrounding the space, there is not enough application. competition is always there. last year 25% of all the artificial intelligence startups are in china. that is a phenomenal number. david: a crazy number. i was about to ask, actually. i think it was tencent a few weeks back. they made an interesting comment

two years back, they have a lot of money to spend on their future because they are diversifying revenue. he said he almost had no choice but to bet with all forces, because you never know which will be the big winner. as it made it more difficult or easier for you guys to do what you do now that you have that money coming from the big tech space, being thrown in all directions? >> the investing activities of nies isa compa undeniable, but there are tremendous capital flows from around the world, as well as china itself, into venture investing. interestingly, in 2009 -- let's go back to a time when markets risis,eemed to be in c there were 150 venture capital deals done in china. 5000years later there were deal done in china. today china represents about 65 billion of venture financing. not all of that is coming from tencent and baba.

a lot of that is coming from multiple sources around the world. david: in terms of the talent we are seeing, we have seen an exodus out of silicon valley into china. has that helped? the level of expertise and management expertise that chinese managers can now bring to the table compared to 10 years back. diao: you do see a flood of overseas educated entrepreneurs returning to china. we also see a greater number of homegrown, very innovative strategic entrepreneurs prospering in the chinese technology market. in addition, we also see an increasing number of young talents from the banking and equity worlds joinging the start of companies. siliconto the wave of valley 15 years ago. their experience and domain

knowledge and competitive spirit are in high demand by the young startups in china. we think this trend will continue. david: what is the dream? that at some point there will be an ipo somewhere? is it hong kong, new york -- what are we seeing now? ralph: a lot of these decisions are honestly, ego-driven. -they are valuation -- they are valuation-driven, but also ego-driven. the outcomes will be determined by the investors that invest in these companies, or guide them to these markets. reality is the markets want to attract these ipo's. they want to serve their investor base and attract ipo's by making the markets much more accommodating. we see that recently, little changes in the stock exchange. you will continue to see market accommodation on one hand and refined expectations by

companies on the other hand, givening rise to the ego-driven aspect. david: we have got to leave it onre, but please come back the show. this is evolution, if you will, of the regulatory framework to attract a lot of these companies. thank you so much. ceo of paradigm advisors, diao yang and ralph parks. banks in india are hurting from bad loans. counting rules -- new accounting rules could add to the pain. coming up next. this is bloomberg. ♪
