we are watching jp morgan as well, take a look at the jump of 6%, the best today since 2020, it was investor day, they talked about the economy. that there was storm clouds on the u.s. economy, but they would dissipate. it helped the risk of sentiment, coming at a good time we continue to see these concerns about inflation, recession, the mention of stagflation in news article soaring in the past few months. >> all of this makes you wonder how resilient these rebounds are. let's look at how asian markets are shaping up, a day before the policy meeting, next -- expectations are for 25 basis points, possibly 50. the aussie dollar and the kiwi dollars or two with the currencies are doing quite well this week gaining 0.3%, just

extending the fact that we finish the previous session barely into the green there. kiwi stocks are looking pretty tepid at this stage. >> all of this with what is happening with those chinese tariffs, president biden saying he will be speaking to secretary janet yellen when he returns from asia about lifting them. those tariffs were implemented by the last administration, you're talking about $300 billion and imports from china, the caveat, we have heard mentions of tariff reductions in the past and nothing is happened. now we have supply chain disruptions, factory shutdowns because of covid zero, unit the district -- the tariffs were lifted how much will they help? >> you're talking about the impact on this, given that china's had these practical restrictions in place him in the covid zero program. also looking at the details,

this new economic and trade framework announced over the course of this trip. we have australia join the fray, the economic wave continue to try to create cohesion in part to counter beijing in the region. let's get more analysis on the meeting between president biden and his counterpart, our chief asia correspondent, in hong kong. setting up the expectations from these meetings today. >> this was supposed to be the centerpiece of the trip. the meetings. of course the strategic framework is getting a lot of the attention, as well as the comments on taiwan and the tariffs. with the leaders of japan, asia,

and australia, a way to show the world and china that the countries are united on democratic ideals and values, and are working together is on so issues as climate change and economic issues as well and things like covid. and trading vaccines, that was to be the message, it got overshadowed by other things, they hope comes back to that discussion. the new primary -- australian prime minister, jetted to be there to show the united purpose. we will see what comes of this. that was to be the centerpiece of the trip. president biden will have some meetings with each of the leaders, then fly back to washington. >> to her point, and a lot of it being overshadowed by other things, one of the other things, taiwan. how may times does this administration have to clarify itself over its stance on the island? >> is not the first time he has

made a gaffe, if you will, on taiwan. in november he referred to taiwan as independent, he walked those comments act, saying taiwan is a democratically ruled island and can make decisions for itself, it is not independent. i do not want to misinterpret his words, you want to see his tone when he was asked this question at the rest briefing, let's hear it. >> are you willing to get involved militarily to dim -- defend taiwan for comes that? >> yes. >> you are? >> that is a commitment we made. >> that commitment years talking about the taiwan relations act that essentially spells out justification for the united states to provide military support for taiwan in the event of an attack, presumably from china, not necessarily troops on the ground. he did clarify, he said the

policy is not changed at all. he did go on to say, and i will quote him, the idea that it's, taiwan, can be taken by force is just not appropriate. it will dislocate the entire region and be another action similar to what happened in ukraine. he clarified, but he also said, it is a burden that is even stronger because of the situation happening in ukraine. not surprisingly, beijing is not pleased with these comments. regardless of the walk back by the white house. one of the administrative foreign affairs for that spokesperson's in aging says the u.s. -- in beijing says the u.s. it should refrain from making the wrong comments. on issues bearing on china's core interest including its sovereign terry -- sovereignty and territorial integrity there is no room for compromise or concession.

today marks the beginning of the quad summit between india, japan, australia, it denies states, it will be -- the united states, it will be in the back of the minds of all. >> not back of the mind when it comes to congress that has been vocal on taiwan, even asking biden to include taiwan on the economic framework. >> congress is not in session today, but we did hear from some including senator tom cotton of arkansas. he said at least he is not providing strategic clarity and he would like to see the u.s. double down and be more specific about what they are willing to do for taiwan. we heard from experts as well including richard, who spoke to us earlier today and he basically said, while some will see this as a gaffe, or maybe a

mistake. that the white house is trying to walk back, he thinks that this could be good for the biden administration to make it clear that they wilt support taiwan in terms of selling weapons, that kind of thing, that he thinks that may not hurt the white house, but may actually help in terms of this conversation about taiwan. of course, top -- china will not want to and that makes it difficult for the relationship with china. >> the new australian leader wasting no time on that playing with his new foreign minister, what are his expectations? he has put climate at the center of these talks. >> he took a phone call with british prime minister boris johnson, while on the plane, the subject up climate came up. reaffirming his parties commitment between the u.s. and u.k., building nuclear some

marines is a decade long agreement, he spoke to president biden over the weekend making similar a surgeons -- assertions. something probably -- previous labor government had been warm about come on the topic of climates, both the ministrations policies are much more closely align their. he is expected to seek u.s. support for australia, hosting a summit with the committee climate policy, because the government so many seats over the election. labor edging closer to that 76 seats and needs for the majority, currently sitting on 74, anthony saying a full cabinet will be sworn in the next week. >> stephen engle and jodi schneider with the top stories today, let's get over to vonnie quinn with the first word headlines. >> china is said to offer more than $21 billion in additional

rising costs? >> that is exactly right, we saw target, walmart, costco, they were the safe companies to be at and they are not performing well. companies are struggling to absorb transportation costs, material costs, we see those struggles, regardless of the size of the company. let's go off the beaten path and look at individual companies and their fundamentals specifically look at those steady margins, ideally growing or at least staying steady, unfortunately there is no safe category. >> that has to include some chinese exposure, given that we are hearing more from the administration that they may be lifting some of those chinese tariffs. do you expect to increase or

decrease your china exposure in the next 12 months? >> given the stimulus, now that you say the fact, that covid at some point will go away, we are expecting to increase our exposure in china. the valuations and become much better. the outlook now with the stimulus looks better than before. of course we are not going to have another wave, we are planning to increase our exposure to china. >> what about europe? you are not particularly about the -- optimistic about the outlook there, if you had to split your exposure between u.s. stocks and european equities given the recession risk in both, how do you do that? >> our base case is that the u.s. will likely not head into recession at least not in 2022, for europe, unfortunately what we see is increasing odds due to

its proximity to ukraine, due to the fact that it is energy dependent, and the slower growth they already had coming into 2022. it is already gotten worse and inflation and the rising cost. europe is in a tough spot. we are underweight europe, u.s. is more of a safe haven, of course you cannot say safe haven, you see a happens the u.s.. it is more safe. there is no category or geography that is really safe in this environment. geopolitical issues and environmental issues are only adding fuel to the severity of what is going on. >> how do you trade around these soft commodities, inflation stories, especially when it comes to food come up by extension energy if you see as a continuation? >> when it comes to the three drivers that affect inflation,

between energy cost, wage cost, food prices. we are mostly concerned about food prices going forward. the reason is, when it comes to energy costs, and a lot of the rush in -- russian oil output has been sold to india, that has refined it and is selling at europe, has not that is it too much degree. they have bolstered production, when it comes to food prices,, on the other hand you have droughts that we see in india, other markets, brazil, even the u.s. suffering droughts. you see the ukrainian breadbasket going away, the existing grain storage in ukraine is also being blocked by russia. the energy cost, we think at some point will stabilize or drop. food costs, we are mostly concerned that the bills will continue to rise. when it comes to wages we think there will be some easing there

too because we are seeing more and more layoffs. >> eva always great to have you with us, coo and chief investment strategist, we have a big interview coming up later on daybreak asia, who is in tokyo with president biden, happening at 10 a.m. if you're happening in sydney, you can get a wrap up of the stories you need to know in today's edition of daybreak, you can customize the settings, getting news on the nds -- industries and assets you care about. this is bloomberg. ♪

our global economics and policy editor kathleen hays is here with the latest, what is in the package and what are authorities trying to do here? >> as they said they are trying to lead downward pressure on the economy, the centerpiece is the $21 billion of tax relief to businesses. the hallmark of the tax cuts, the fiscal steps that china has taken so far. here is what we have, $21 billion in tax rebates to companies, 60 billion in yuan in passenger car purchase taxes. that equals about 0.1% of china's gdp, it is along with 1.5 trillion dollars in tax because they passed so far this year. they will also double the quota on small and medium size business loans. more people can get those, they

will also expand social insurance payments, social security payments, that companies have to pay to the government,. all of those to provide relief, they are trying to do targeted forceful steps. again, most of this is going to businesses, not households, some people saying they be we should be sending checks to consumers. while some countries have done that, so far that is not in the works. they did tax cuts in march, at the time they likened it to, fertilizer applied directly to the roots of the economy, a very supply-side approach, like all supply-side approaches, if you reduce the cost of businesses, give them more money, they will invest it, they will do something of that. that will boost the economy, some say that you might just end

up increasing the debt, they have not said anything about how they're going to find the tax relief, making their debt and deficit bigger. maybe it comes later, it is interesting to see, you have a supply side or in china, as a premier, this is what is holding its way for now. >> president biden opening the door to remove u.s. tariffs in china, how wide is the opening? >> certainly they have been, the biden team has been considering, particularly since inflation picked up some much in the u.s., considering looking at, reviewing tariffs, etc. when asked about tariffs, listen to what joe biden said when he was on his trip to asia today. >> i am talking with the secretary we get home, i have considered it, we did not oppose and -- we did not impose any of

those tariffs, they were imposed by the last administration and are under consideration. >> he will be talking to secretary janet yellen, about what to do next. the thing about rolling back tariffs, it would be great for china, potentially the yuan had quite a jump when the news came out overnight in the u.s., late in the day yesterday in asia. as long as you have supply chains are disrupted, as long as you are locking down factories and other fracturing facilities, any benefits china might accrue from this is seen as very limited. however the hotter inflation gets, the more biden and his team is getting pressured, looking for more more ways to reduce inflation. if you remove tariffs, you will reduce the cost of goods of the united states buying goods from china. on the outside of the article coin, november midterm elections

e-card for poor -- extremely hard for poor countries and then you have recession. >> we are projecting a lot of growth that we anticipated last year, 3.6% versus 4.9%. let's room ever that 3.6% is the average growth in the previous decade, we are still projecting to be in positive territory. however, since we put out our projection, where we downgraded 143 countries, what are in commensal changes? one, tightening financial conditions. two, appreciation of the dollar. three, slowdown in china. all of this is making further downgrades not out of the question. for some countries, there is now an increased risk of recession.

we do not anticipate a global recession. >> you are right about the dollar rally, having huge implications for some of the countries across the world, do expect the imf to step in with countries a lot more because of the imbalances we could live through the next 18 months? >> we are living in a time of crisis. who is most at risk? the countries that were weaker to begin with. we are already seeing an increase of demand for imf engagement in lebanon, egypt, indonesia, sri lanka. we are looking into the 2022 as a difficult year, especially for developing countries under a high level of debt. when your cost of servicing a debt jumps up, and you are in a very tight fiscal position, of course this is a time when the imf has to step up.

his concerns among investors that any recession is imminent. >> jp morgan recently received backlash about spending, what have you heard on that front? >> that made this meeting today really quite a high-stakes one. the bank had earlier this year said spending would rise above 8.6%, have not given investors enough clarity or detail about what that spending is going towards. i think jamie dimon and the bank really set out today to give a much more conference of break down about that spending. they went through real trouble to emphasize discipline in their expenses. they gave a very clear write-down of the five areas where there -- breakdown of the five areas where there will be expenses, they reaffirmed the expenses in 2022, they did not increase the projection, they

heavy lifting to do to get the inflation under control. the likely that it trends into a material economic slowdown is high. >> is there anything banks can do to alleviate that or is it up to governments? it is unclear whose responsible after two years. >> is a squarely with central banks, to the extent that they are able to exercise that responsibility, there will be higher interest rates and that will lead to lower economic growth. that is inevitable, is a transition mechanism, no way to get around it. there was a question, when push came to shove, will fed's come -- go all in? we will see. >> do you think it is a policy mistake in the making from the central bank? >> i think we could all speculate on if the central bank should move earlier, there's been a series of supply shocks as well that has taken place. the central bank could not a forecasted.

the confluence of events right now is to make the central bankers job very hard. >> if we do have a recession, you have lived through the global financial crisis, would it be different from that? we have talked about the 80's pattern, but all recessions are different. >> the big difference between recessions is that it does it trigger a financial crisis or doesn't not? thankfully this time i do not think there will be a financial crisis, the financial system is extraordinary strong. we got a love things right after the financial crisis, increasing -- a lot of things right after the financial crisis. that is very encouraging, the likelihood that the economic growth translates through the credit crisis and financial crisis is low. trip -- typically when you have -- it is not so severe. i would hope if we go into recession it feels like a
