sentiment. >> we had a long and frank discussion on a number of issues in a warm atmosphere. president-elect trump is a leader i can trust. rishaad: let's get to isabel reynolds from tokyo. what is the read into this and the view from tokyo about this international diplomacy? >> right, what prime minister shinzo abe was looking for was reassurance. he has some confusion about trade, the tpp in particular, and also he has threatened to remove u.s. troops from japan unless japan pays more for their upkeep. tot shinzo abe wanted was form a relationship of trust, and that seems to be what has

happened so far. they exchange gifts. received some golf related goods, and they do have that as a hobby and common, so maybe they managed to bond over that to some extent. rishaad: what does this mean for u.s. relations between japan and asia? it is difficult to tell, they have agreed to meet again when their schedules allow and to have roger and deeper discussions, according to mr. shinzo abe, but the government's focus at this point will turn to mr. trump's personnel choices, whether he takes advisors such investorlynn and an wilbur ross, japan-friendly people who might indicate ties can go on more or less as normal. the we have seen is that

electorate in japan is concerned about this relationship. we have seen polls that have shown that more than half of people in japan see donald trump as potentially not good for trade ties and not good for japan's national security. rishaad: thank you very much indeed for that. has spokejanet yellen about a rate hike next month, saying the u.s. economy continues to show strength. andtold congress that she the bank will retain their independence under president trump and that she intends to serve her old term. -- her whole term. why did this prompt another selloff? >> it is worth noting that the 2.3% at the at close on thursday is the highest in 2016. single analysts interviewed that thought that 10 year would top 2%, but this was

janet yellen's opportunity. ofshe wanted to put any kind temporary statement before the joint economic committee to do that, and she didn't. here is what she said about the economy and a rate hike. >> at a meeting earlier this month, the committee judged that an increase in the target range had continued to strengthen. such an increase could well become appropriate relatively soon if incoming data provide some further evidence of continued progress towards the committee's objectives. world interest-rate projections, one of my favorite parts of the bloomberg business chart, shows you the odds of a december rate hike are the highest in the past couple of months, a straight line up since the election, the election stoking a view of growth, inflation, and rate hikes. 98% is the highest we have seen it today. housing starts are at a high.

unemployment benefit claims are at a 40 year low, and consumer prices continue to rise. line up thems to sun, moon, and stars for that rate hike in december. rishaad: we are talking about this, telling us there was going to be politically charged questions before that testimony. what was she particularly challenged on? >> she was given an opportunity to stick up for things that anybody knows federal chairs would probably have expected her to say, but anytime you put a fed chair in front of republicans and democrats in congress, you will get questions that run along the political lines. the first question was are you going to stay to the end of your term? she seemed to make it very clear. >> i was confirmed by the senate to a four-year term, which ends

at the end of january of 2018, and it is fully my intention to serve out that term. >> quiet words heard very loudly i think all the way to the white house and around the world actually. she was asked about central bank whenendence, and said banks are independent, economies to better. how about dodd-frank? donald trump said he wanted to abolish it, but maybe he has maybe anthat, just overhaul, but she said it has done a lot of good and the banks need to hold more capital and we the next financials crisis. she did not respond so much to trump. she did talk about debt. let's jump into the bloomberg again for a quick look at this chart that makes it clear when at look at the white line

the top, and that is the death, gdp is the blue line, but it has gotten higher, over 70%. sure yellen wants to make that when they do fiscal stimulus, spending, tax cuts, that it leads to higher productivity. that, andamant about this chart helps to understand why, so an important testimony. we will see how the markets parse it and we get minutes from the meeting next week, giving us some more tea leaf reading to do. rishaad: thank you very much. to come, donald trump pledging to raise tariffs on china by 45%, but history shows he will have a fight on his hands. china's home price numbers show curbs biting. details are on their way. ♪

price rises, saw a decrease of .5% for october. of course, this all comes on the tok of curbs and 21 cities make it more difficult to buy property, increasing down payments, sometimes restricting the purchase of properties to residents of the city because policymakers are concerned about this property bubble, particularly first tier cities. priceant to maintain the stability of third tear cities where prices have remained softer. what they don't want to see is a dramatic downturn prices in first-tier cities. they would not want that significant downturn to spread to third tear cities, where you have seen weakness, so it is a difficult balancing act. ratiome prices to wages has increased, and bloomberg intelligence says that will add

concern about social unrest. in terms of stocks, real estate developers in china are exposed to this and have seen big thank rep sees this year, so with another downturn, they would be exposed. sos is a marginal takedown, some reassurance to policymakers and real estate developers for now. rishaad: thank you a lot for that. let's get to our guest, who says the sector is still strongly supported even as we do have this surge in prices taking place generally speaking. thank you for coming in. what are you making of the housing market to begin with? >> as you mentioned, there is a strong spike in growth this year. with that being said, there is another note that inventory has come down.

seeing cooling because of these property curbs coming in an october. -- in october. how much of that was momentum in the property market? or is it well supported? >> it is well supported. inventory as quite tight in the highest tier cities, meaning the pricing is well supported in our view, but it has brought on different risks for individual developers. we think that depending on individual developer strategy, it might hurt them even if prices stay stagnant. rosenave some pretty rosie price predictions built in. rishaad: when do you know you are in a bubble? >> we think there is genuine

demand. there is a diversion picture and saying the lower tier cities are less supportive. digest and has gotten underway, but far from the first to tear cities. -- first-tier cities. it is becoming an increasingly polarized property market. tell me about that. look at it from a geographic point of view, individual developer point of view, there the versions in terms of quality, how well products are selling, the economics and demographics of each region is becoming more diverse. rishaad: also, there is a lot of stock unused. it lies vacant. people bite speculative play. >> that is more of a case for smaller cities. demand is still there. goingn tell the supply down and inventory decreasing rapidly within 2016, so there is

demand and we don't think -- it will support it without a large correction in 2017. rishaad: what about government policy towards the property market and how it is affecting things? caused up turns and downturns in the past, these cycles, and the more recent curbs in the property sector we think is a very strong signal that the government is intending to control that surge and to control any kind of bubble building up. see eating said, it could two more risks where policies overshoot. rishaad: that is the danger, to the downside and the upside. >> that's true. they will have to recalibrate. that will mean short-term suffering for some of the developers and the sector. rishaad: what about banks and their willingness to give loans and mortgages? >> they are.

i think the government is trying to control the amount of funding, which cause the surge in 2016. it has caused the prices to go up and the market to be in a relatively overheated state, so the government in seeing this situation has tried to tamp down funds going into this sector. we think it will continue to do so and slap on more restrictions going forward before we can control this market. rishaad: very quickly, word on hong kong property markets? where does it go next? >> hard to say. i think there will be more restrictions if the prices don't come down. it is in a similar story to being said,hat demand is also strong in hong kong. primary sales have been going on quite well, so i think sales will continue in terms of whether or not developers are

willing to clear inventory. rishaad: thank you very much indeed. let's get a check on the latest this is flash headlines. peach aviation says it is buying 13 more airbus planes for delivery from 2018. models withcludes the current engine. peach is expanding, currently airbus aircraft and once a fleet of 100 planes. a chinese company paying a record 650 million dollars for tv rights to english premier league football. the online streaming service has clinched a three-year deal beginning in 2019. it is the biggest overseas contract, worth many times more than the current price for chinese tv rights. it is a division of a retail group which owns enter milan.
