    APEC Summit Preview, South Korea Finance Minister Koo Yun Cheol

    Next week, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit will be underway. President Trump is expected to meet with South Korea President Lee Jae Myung and Chinese President Xi Jinping for separate bilateral talks that may shape trade relations for years to come. In the states, senior South Korean officials visited Washington today to resume trade negotiations to bridge their differences over Seoul's $350 billion investment pledge under a bilateral trade deal struck in July. For more on what's ahead at the APEC Summit, we heard from Kang Kyung-hwa, South Korean Ambassador to the United States. She spoke to Bloomberg's Joe Mathieu and Julie Fine on Balance of Power. And - South Korea and the US are focusing on the structure of a $350 billion investment pledge by Seoul, rather than a currency swap, according to Finance Minister Koo Yun Cheol. Officials in Washington including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent now see the potential for a shock to Seoul's foreign-exchange market from an "upfront" deployment of funds, Koo told Bloomberg TV in an interview on Wednesday that also touched on weakness in the Korean won stemming from the unfinished deal, car tariffs and AI technology. He spoke exclusively with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn about the progress of talks, on the sidelines of the APEC Finance Ministers' Meeting in Incheon, South Korea.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Takaichi Breaks Japan's Glass Ceiling With Politics in Turmoil

    Japan's Sanae Takaichi has become the country's first female prime minister, vowing to strengthen the nation's economy and defense capabilities and enhance relations with the US. Takaichi faces challenges including quelling discontent over the cost of living, dealing with a looming visit by US President Donald Trump, and reviving the fortunes of a ruling party that has lost its dominance. Takaichi has formed a cabinet and plans to deliver results, including implementing a trade deal with the US and alleviating the impact of inflation, and will meet with President Trump at an early date to elevate Japan-US relations. We get perspective from Rintaro Nishimura, Senior Associate in The Asia Group's Japan Practice. He spoke to Bloomberg's Avril Hong and Annabelle Droulers. Plus - Sanae Takaichi has just been confirmed as Japan's first female prime minister. But more important than her gender might be her taste for head-banging — in music and politics. That is according to Bloomberg Opinion Columnist Gearoid Reidy. He spoke about his piece to Bloomberg's Avril Hong and Annabelle Droulers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Japan LDP, Ishin Ink Coalition Deal to Set Up Takaichi for PM

    Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party sealed a new coalition deal that sets up Sanae Takaichi to become the country's first female prime minister. LDP President Takaichi and Hirofumi Yoshimura, co-leader of the Japan Innovation Party, also known as Ishin, signed the coalition agreement on Monday evening. Combined, the LDP and Ishin hold 231 seats in the lower house of parliament. While that is two seats shy of a majority, divisions between opposition parties mean Takaichi is almost certain to win a parliamentary vote on Tuesday to decide the prime minister. We get perspective from Sheila Smith, Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow for Asia Pacific Studies. She spoke to Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong. Plus - Wall Street traders drove stocks higher amid solid signals from Corporate America and hopes that tensions between the world's two largest economies are cooling. Bond yields edged lower. With the earnings season well underway, about 85% of the companies in the S&P 500 reporting results so far have beaten profit estimates. That's helped fuel a rebound in equities, with the benchmark notching its best two-day gain since June. Sentiment was also buoyed by expectations the trade war will de-escalate as the US and China return to the negotiating table. We heard from Carol Schleif, Chief Market Strategist at BMO Private Wealth. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plus - Lawmakers in the Japan Innovation Party (Ishin) are set to meet this afternoon to decide whether to form an alliance with the ruling Liberal Democratic Party that would likely lead to Sanae Takaichi becoming the country's first female prime minister.

    Japan's Concern Over China Rare Earth Curbs, Credit Woes Hit Wall Street

    Japan's Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato voiced serious concern over China's latest export controls on rare earths, stressing the importance of coordinated action from Group of Seven nations. "Japan is deeply concerned about these measures," Kato told reporters in Washington on Wednesday, referring to China's latest trade measures. "I called for G-7 nations to unite and respond," Kato said. Kato spoke following a G-7 meeting held on the sidelines of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank annual meetings. Also in Japan, ruling party leader Sanae Takaichi's chances of becoming prime minister strengthened after progress on policy talks with the Japan Innovation Party, with Monday emerging as a deadline for deciding whether the parties form a new coalition. The Liberal Democratic Party and the Osaka-based JIP, also known as Ishin, confirmed they are on the same page on major policy items. But one major sticking point remains in place: reforms on political funding rules. For more perspective, we speak to Shuntaro Takeuchi, Portfolio Manager at Matthews Asia. Plus - Stocks slid, extending a weeklong stretch of volatility on Wall Street, as bad loans at two regional banks stirred concern about credit quality in the economy and further underscored the fragility of the $28 trillion bull market. Following an earlier advance driven by another solid outlook for artificial-intelligence demand, the S&P 500 turned lower as a pair of regional lenders disclosed problems with loans involving allegations of fraud, adding to concern that more cracks are emerging in borrowers' creditworthiness.

    Bessent Floats Longer-Term China Truce, Trump - Albanese Meeting Preview

    US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dangled the possibility of extending a pause of import duties on Chinese goods for longer than three months if China halts its plan for strict new export controls on rare-earth elements. The US and China have agreed to a series of 90-day truces since earlier this year, with the next deadline looming in November.  Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is set to have his first sit down in the White House with President Trump next week. The meeting comes as the Trump administration's interest in critical mineral resources has fueled speculation the US government may take stakes in Australian miners as part of a broader strategic relationship. Also key for Albanese is the fate of the Aukus security agreement that the US signed with Australia and the UK in 2021 to counter China's military expansion in the Indo-Pacific region. Central to the deal is a project — expected to cost hundreds of billions of dollars — to help Australia develop a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines. To help us preview the meeting, we speak to Bloomberg's Paul Allen. Plus - Wall Street was lashed with volatility as investors struggled to gauge the scope of trade tensions between the world's two largest economies. Stocks rallied, plunged, then rose anew amid optimism over earnings. As the earnings season got under way, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Corp. jumped on solid results. We speak to Keith Buchanan, Senior Portfolio Manager at Globalt Investments. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    US-China Reignites Trade Tensions, Powell Signals Another Cut

    US President Donald Trump said he might stop trade in cooking oil with China, injecting fresh tensions into the relationship between the world's two largest economies. Trump on Tuesday cast the potential move as retaliation against Beijing for its refusal to buy American soybeans, which he said "is an Economically Hostile Act" that is purposefully "causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers." The benchmark S&P 500 turned negative as Trump's comments re-escalated the conflict with China. Just hours earlier, both Trump and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer expressed confidence that friction would ease through ongoing trade talks. We get perspective from Sandra Swirski, Founder & CEO of Integer. Plus - Earnings season has just kicked off. A gauge of big banks jumped after solid results from financial giants. Also today,  Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled the US central bank is on track to deliver another quarter-point interest-rate cut later this month, even as a government shutdown significantly reduces its read on the economy. For more, we turn to Rob Williams, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Strategist at Sage Advisory Services. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
