fears of a second virus wave. beijing shuts a leading market has infections spike. cases are climbing in tokyo and across the united states. haslinda: the hong kong government admits china's new security rules may not conform to traditional common-law practice. insists thingsty will be better in the long run. just before the data comes through from china. having a look at markets -- let's look at the data. just coming out and now, seeing a drop of 13.5% for the month of may. line with what economists were expecting and. showing some signs of improvement on the consumption chart -- side. year on year, it looks like contraction is narrowing. looking better when it comes to retail sales. property investment year to date, also dropping .3%, which

is slightly better than economists were expecting an better than the previous month. leasing property investment looking better. fixed assets investments, also a drop of 6.3%. aonomists were looking at drop of 6%, but the trend seems to be better than the previous month. i guess it continues to show that this could still be an uneven recovery we are seeing in china. uneven recovery but a broadening of china's recovery, as well. we heard new home prices, the most in six months. that is a good sign as the economy reopens. we are seeing how home prices in terms of growth has accelerated. easing on credit, helping a lot. just to recap, retail sales, -2.8%.

retail sales, still contracting, retail sales have collapsed. consumers are pretty cautious when it comes to coming back to spending. beijing and other chinese cities are giving up consumption vouchers to its people. they encourage them to spend in the fiscal month of the year. retail sales slumped 16% nationwide so as long as retail back up, it could be a hindrance to the recovery china is looking forward to. industrial production year on year coming in at 4.4%. the survey was expecting 5%, so slightly short of expectations. 3.9% before. rising for a second month since the outbreak, adding to early signs of a recovery. it will be slow, challenging. the improvement in industrial production suggests government stimulus is having some effect, although support remains modest when you compare that to the rest of -- a lot of other countries in the world.

yvonne: take a look at chinese markets. it looks like we are slightly off the lows of the session. -- orhuge uptick from reaction, i should say. the chief economist is the fintech arm of jd.com. thank you for joining us. i don't know if you were listening to the data. industrial production numbers, missing slightly. 4.4%, but expected, retail sales were basically along with consensus of a drop of 13.5%. tell us your initial take on the data. >> i think the problem is the weaker sales. no clear sign of recovery in retail sales, so it is quite clear that production has

resumed, recovered pretty nicely, but the consumption as well as investment is lagging behind, so it is the lack of demand that is the main problem of the chinese economy right now. industrial production numbers, this was still not as great as economists were expecting, of this momentum continuing on the factory lines. a 4.4% print. is it a deflationary recovery you are seeing? whenhina sustain this domestically, it is looking quite weak when it comes to demand. shen: that's right. there has been nice recovery in april, but with no demand, especially from the consumption side and trade side. then there is pressure for producers.

that will restrain their pace of recovery, so that is the main problem. production -- without demand, production cannot recover continuously. ppi, -3.7%, look at and very clear there is deflationary pressure from producers. sharply 2.4% only and it was 3.3 in previous months. exerted of demand deflationary pressure on producers and consumers. some headline out of hong kong, hong kong disneyland will reopen june 18. it has been much anticipated.

we talked about retail sales earlier on. what would it take for retail sales to pick up, because as long as it doesn't, it will be a setback for the recovery. cities givingseen out vouchers to encourage citizens to pretty much spend. has it got to do with rising unemployment? yeah, it is true. there is a rise in unemployment rate, so china is already above 6%. that is the verified chinese standard. we see resumption of some factories and people started to there is quite a lot of restrictions on service consumptions. for example, restaurants and stimulus has not opened in china and there is a lot of constraint on the consumption side. that is why the beijing government has unleashed -- it

started only in june. the data we have seen is in may, so there is a lot of stimulus measures that haven't materialized for june. looking forward, it is good news hong kong will resume disneyland and china, as well. beijing, maybe there is more service venues that will be reopened. that will be good news for consumption, but given the uncertainty regarding this pandemic, there is still a cautious mood on that. haslinda: how much will that way on demand and consumption, given what the vice premiere said over the weekend, that the risk of the spread is very high? think stilleah, i -- especially what we see in beijing, there are a lot of risks and even though the chinese government has already

-- the people's congress has fiscal andounced monetary stimulus package, but without the recovery in consumption and especially the exports and factories, there is a lot of pressure. theirannot step up production and that will affect employment. that income growth is lagging behind. that is all a lot of problems. every thing will depend on the dynamics. thene: when it comes to employment numbers, i'm seeing 5.9% unemployment in china. you take europe, unemployment is at double digits. the u.s. has a jobless rate of more than 20%. why do you think that jobless rate has stayed relatively stable in china? is it reflective of what is on the ground? there is a unique

situation in china because in survey in thethe many area, so the issue is migrant workers in the rural area, they didn't go into the city to work. those people are not counted in the survey, so there is maybe and thatod issues makes the chinese number actually lower than other countries. you mentioned the consumption story. digits, you have an credible data. what are you seeing when it comes to consumption patterns? some shifts that are the longer term impact on the consumption story in china? the story isthink

very strong and very clear is that people moved to online to buy things. this is e-commerce online shopping has become very popular. there is very strong demand because of the pandemic, people stay at home and stay order step through the internet. that is why a couple of years ago, compared to just three or four years ago, the share of 24% ofshopping doubles total retail sales. that is very significant. a bubbly one of the highest in the world -- a bubbly one of the highest in the world. -- probably one of the highest in the world. --n the fresh food has been we are seeing phenomenal growth and that used to be difficult to sale vegetables online, but now, it has become very popular. there is strong growth.

what assumptions are you making about the outlook for revenue and profitability for smes in china? jianguang: i think that is the most vulnerable path of the economy and the government ordered banks to lend to smes. the central bank even gave loans at zero interest to small and medium-sized banks to lend to smes in china. study, 10,000 smes, the financial accounts and ery vulnerable situation there. especially the service sector, and many shops are still closed. income, i think 40% of the companies probably will face

a solvency issue if they don't have income for three months. that is why the government tried ,o save those companies ordering landlords to suspend rent payments as well as injection for bank loans to those companies. haslinda: thank you so much for your insight. shen jianguang, jd digits chief economist. let's get the headlines. china is scrapping most of its lockdown restrictions as it hopes to reopen its economies, although one of -- tourism remains restricted by travel ban's. most businesses and some schools will be a lot to reopen after the government reported no locally transmitted cases for more than two weeks. nighttime curfews are also being lifted. cases are being reported in latin america with daily highs recorded in mexico chennai, and argentina.

wave look like? he mentioned parts of the city are shut down right now. is it going to be much different than what we saw during the first wave? to what extent does this delay the consumption recovery story? sharon: it is a bit hard to tell because they are really going hard on the contact tracing in the last testing so it depends on how many cases they uncover. all indications point to the numbers going up significantly as they test aggressively, but right now, the government has refrained from locking down beijing the way it has other places when other clusters have emerged, like in wuhan. travel is still alive domestically and also -- allowed domestically and in other provinces, which wasn't the case in other outbreaks. i think the government is trying to take a more measured

is something that even in normal times, if there is a blip in the monthly data, we should take a few months to get a full a picture. that is something we will have to deal with. it calls to mind other problems we have seen elsewhere around the world, u.s. jobs report being one of the high-profile issues for the jobless benefits over each week not matching what we've seen in the monthly data. there are several reasons for that around survey collection as well as the different questions they have to ask, folks responding and the response rates and difficulty collecting the data, and separately, inommerce, we've seen a boom the region on e-commerce. that is something that is hard to track even in normal times, but even more so right now as we are trying to collect data in different ways to get a full of picture of what is going on. seeing the china data today, is weak, he data, the bank indonesia, boj meeting.

what are key highlights, what is top of mind for you? michelle: the china data, reported pretty big misses. across the board, missing expectations generally on retail sales. that will be key to watch going forward as people are expecting perhaps a contraction in the second quarter. we will be looking at tdp, but most on my mind are two rate decisions, monetary policy decisions out of bank of japan. we don't expect a change in interest rates, but bank of japan trying to head off bankruptcies, keep solvency at a maximum, and maybe expanding lending facilities they have out there. that might be the big announcement how to bank of japan. on thursday, we will get bank indonesia. bloomberg economics expects a 25 basis point cut, given the rupiah has provided more stability. it might give policymakers room

this is because of the fear and concerns about a second wave of infections taking place and taking hold, perhaps threatening what we are witnessing, which is economic recovery. it is those fears of the virus, growing in beijing, that the wholesale market has been shut that we have reported, nearby housing locked down, dozens of people testing positive. a district official has been fired. others are under investigation over the outbreak. let's get to beijing and join our bureau chief. what do we know thus far after the outbreak in that market and the people who visited the market? know that there have been nearly 100 infections reported over the weekend, originating from that market. but now, the government has said have discovered cases linked to the first cluster in another market in a different district, and they have locked down 10

nearby residential compounds. right now, they are in the process of aggressive contact tracing and mass testing. they are going door-to-door knocking on doors, trying to figure out if anyone or their relatives or family members have been to the market and are testing everyone they can find. it looks as if they are still trying to take quite a measured approach to having shut down transport links like they have with other outbreaks, like what happened in wuhan and the northeast. i think as the cases are set to rise, given the amount of testing being done, we can expect that they will ask -- act quickly as the numbers spike. oflinda: we got a raft economic data out of beijing in the past hour. what is the main takeaway? see a bit of an improvement in industrial production, but the problem is, the consumption recovery that

haslinda: u.s. treasury yields

are losing steam as rising pos have a second wave of the virus driving investors to haven bonds. the fed isn't helping the cause. the outlook on u.s. growth auspice -- prospects have slowed. 10 year yields hovering around 0.7%. our next guest thinks helps of a -- hopes of a v shape recovery is out of the question. we have a second wave of the virus. this is a good time to be accumulating exposure to pretty much long duration bonds. i'm not sure if this is a second wave or some of the countries are still dealing with the first wave. but that is besides the point. i think what is becoming abundantly clear is that this will stay with us for a long time. i think what the fed essentially

has done is, it has transcended guidance considerably and we expect this to be the case in the next meeting. from our perspective, the fed has, i think we can see them a little higher or say -- staying roughly where they are but we don't expect yields to be substantially higher anytime soon given the fed actions, and also the recovery, which will have come of this crisis will .ave a very long tail what is your estimate for 10 year yields by year end? some people say 0.88. omar: that is a good number but i don't know if we will be there. it is hard to say. what my stance is, it will probably be a little higher. the reality is, in terms of the bond market, there are two considerations. one, from our perspective, it is

practically impossible to have a v shape recovery and you have -- when you have measures like social distancing and a economy or large segments of the economy operating at or below capacity. that will weigh on yields. the other thing is, we don't see any change or substantial change in terms of the fed policy. where will the yields be exactly? we could see them a little higher but we will continue to see yields very well anchored. so probably sub-1%. yields,: the hunt for forcing investors to look at riskier corporate bonds. bankruptcies are at the fastest pace in 10 years. surely, this isn't how the markets should be functioning. case of the high credit quality, for the investment segments, i think the

massive driver has been monetary from thearticularly fed, which is for the first time buying outright investment grade corporate bonds. there is a disconnect, to your point, in terms of the rate and where the markets are. i think the markets going forward, particularly the riskier assets, will be less jubilant. for the ig market, that market is well positioned. it is in a sweet spot outright by the regulators and by monetary policy. it has a credit quality to be able to withstand the shock. there will be a surge of yield after all of this settles down. i think that market performance will continue to be strong. looking at the fed's funds report, if you go deep,

you begin looking at what has happened, for the first time in 30 years, non-financial business debt is greater than household debt. are there lots of zombie companies out there? how do you avoid them if you are looking for fixed income assets, separating the wood from the chaff? omar: the short answer is, yes there are zombie companies in the making. having said that, some markets which are more dynamic than others, the u.s. being one of there are zombie companies and investors will discriminate against that and they will not be zombie companies for long. the analogy i refer to is investors are starting to think in similar markets terms, some of the zombie companies we saw in japan after the bubble. i don't think that analogy will

hold. i think you might see it for a while because monetary policy and fiscal policy is bridging the whole economy for a while, but i think this crisis will have a long tail. no bridge can be long enough to effectively keep the companies afloat for long. do the credit section? i think there is an easy answer for that. you have to do your homework. the thing i set on your show a yearme, this is not for taking bets. there is strong return in the versions we saw so far. between asset classes and within asset classes. i think that will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future. rishaad: and that's it, isn't it? you have that situation, then of course what happens with the

macro side of things? we have the possibility of inflation, most people say it is too early to talk about it and we should be talking about deflation before getting into any semblance of inflation. this would also result perhaps in i suppose a double-dip, if what comes to pass happens. what does that mean for you as an investor? the short answer for us in terms of inflation is, we don't see inflation coming back anytime soon. those who are in the sit ononary camp they the fact that supply chains have been so disrupted -- based it on the fact that supply chains have been so disrupted because of covid-19 and the trade wars and trade friction that this will affect prices. we think this will be more than overwhelmed and offset i the fact that economies will be operating at substantially below capacity.

the long and short of it is, i don't think there is any inflationary concerns in the foreseeable future. what that means for fixed income markets is, monetary policy will continue to be accommodative, alter -- ultra-accommodative and qe will become a global phenomenon. rishaad: where is the juice? where will you find the juice? are people looking for yields? what is the deal? omar: the juice is being squeezed. i think the easiest juice is at thislly, is gone point. we will continue to see some opportunities in ig and emerging markets, in high yields, but that is not really a major move. from now on we will continue to see some decent performance, particularly when it comes to investment grades and segments within the emerging-market, but

again, this isn't a year for b eta, it is a year for credit selection. i think the easy money has been made this year and from now, it is going to be more a grind type of thing as opposed to markets shooting up again. just one more question, speaking of high-yield, indonesia is the in asia.ield player do you keep piling in? when do you stop? omar: indonesia has been a relatively good story. i think, we have some concerns about the fiscal space that indonesia has. and the fiscal discipline. i think this will be key in terms of the investor appetite. i think investor appetite has continued to be a relatively strong, after a strong wobble back in march. be moreeds to

confirmation from indonesia in terms of having fiscal discipline and i don't think we will see at any time soon. indonesia will probably fare better than some of its peers, like india and so on. but i think in terms of upside, from now, it is probably a bit more limited compared to what we saw over the past three months. slim from pine bridge investments, thank you for your insights. more protests in the u.s. as atlanta police are accused of disproportionate use of force resulting in the death of another black man. details, just ahead. this is bloomberg. ♪

haslinda: welcome back.

atlanta has become the focus of the u.s. protests against racism , with the city's police chief resigning following the shooting and killing of a black man at a drive through. editor.t more from our what is the latest on the death of this man? >> i have to say, this has been something that has re-sparked protests certainly in atlanta, and it has gone to the bigger question in the days and weeks after the death of george floyd in minneapolis, which is to say, we have black men dying at the hands of police officers, oftentimes white police officers. a lot of this footage, caught on video. this one was caught on surveillance camera. it has really galvanized what is now a global movement, and you so -- saw in atlanta a lot of anger. that wendy's was burned down.

people were outraged. the police chief resigned. atlanta's mayor was on tv saying it was unacceptable, that everyone needs to do better. it is really re-sparking more calls for change. looking at new legislation aimed at reforming law enforcement, that is starting this week. what do we know about that? that is on the federal level. certainly on the state and individual city level, you have started to see some smaller pieces of legislation make it through in terms of tactics, changes. louisville band no knock warrants after someone was killed that way. you see small things. but we are talking about the federal level. this will be a little bit of a difficult one because there are some smaller things that everyone can kind of agree around, but a lot of the things that some of the protesters have really been calling for are on

the larger level, like removing a shield that police officers use in court cases when things go wrong that allows them to basically have impunity if they were acting within the course of their duties. changing that is now a redline for the republicans, but it is one of the protesters' central demands. you are starting to see, even before legislation gets written down in some cases, on the republican side, you are starting to see these red lines get drawn that mean that sweeping things might be difficult. we will see because the political movement in america has heavily shifted over the last couple weeks. rishaad: thank you very much, derek wallbank joining us. let's get you to the latest business flash headlines. hertzpt car-rental giant has one approvals to cheryl --

does the business community address those concerns and hopefully lay all of that to rest? >> first and foremost, it is a matter of confidence. by the time the detailed regulations come out, which i believe will address some of the thatrns, people will see it will not affect the core values of hong kong. the core value being the rule of law, a fair and transparent integrity of the market, and a level playing field where everyone is treated the same. >> ipos are coming. it will be a big week this coming week. obviously, apart from jd.com, do you expect more names coming for the rest of the year? >> we have a pretty healthy pipeline. i can't talk about names or numbers, but we do have a healthy pipeline and we hope to get to number one again this year. >> compared to last year, i know you can't give exact numbers but it will be better than what we had in 2019?

thats alluded to in interview, the national security law, the government is trying to calm concerns about what will come out of the law, but there is lingering concern at the moment and growing in some areas, where they are fearful that they won't be able to get their cash out of the city, so some people are looking at opening offshore bank accounts, moving money to other locations. in some cases, thinking of moving their families somewhere else especially if they have young children, thinking about where their kids might go to school. there are lots of things that people are looking at as maybe exodus not necessarily at the moment. politics,turning to hong kong's legislature has important elections coming up in september and there are growing fears a number of pro-democracy lawmakers could get disqualified even before the campaigns start.

>> that is another central catalyst in the coming months that we will be looking at. we have some really important elections coming up in september for seats on the legislative council, the local government in hong kong. what is at stake is for the .ro-democracy party groups if they are able to wrestle majority control, they will be able to control the agenda for the local government and in fact, they would even be able to potentially force carrie lam to step down if for instance they vote down her budget proposals twice. that is obviously what is at stake for the election, but it is possible they might not even get to the contest thing of the race. -- contesting of the race. there are concerns that potentially anyone who opposes the national security law, the incoming law, may be disqualified from the race. that would just about cover everybody who would be campaigning on the pro-democracy

side. we have heard comments today from government officials that the new national security law may not apply retroactively, but of course, we are talking about campaigning over the next couple months. rest assured, it will be an intense campaign. there will be concerns about what they would do going forward. not discounting what was done when thiso what -- law was implemented. haslinda: still to come on the show, we hear from the head of wellness at a company as an insurer really just -- releases and import him -- a report on the social impact of covid-19. highlights are ahead. this is bloomberg. ♪

rishaad: people have become more worried about their finances since the onset of covid-19. however, they are feeling more positive about family and work life according to the global health service company cigna. they had a study that looks at the pandemics effect on people's well-being. let's get more from dr. dawn soo, head of wellness. let's kick things off with surprising findings. what is the biggest surprise for

you? i think the biggest prize probably is around the positivity around people's work and home life. a lot of our respondents indicated that while they are worried about their finances, they are surprisingly feeling really positive about their work and family situation, possibly because of the working arrangements that have been put in place since the onset of covid. it surprises me that people were more happy. asy don't feel as isolated many would have naturally assumed with lockdowns prevalent in large parts of the world. dawn: that is correct. we have also seen a decrease in feelings of loneliness. a lot of participants have said actually, the interpersonal relationships have improved, all of which are surprising. interestingly, it is the markets

that have experienced the toughest lockdowns, like the u.k., spain and uae, that have shown the greatest improvements and a lot of the trends. news.not all bad that has been really positive. is,aad: the other thing thinking about always on, these days you use your phone, always in contact with the office. in times of working from home that is probably even more the case. tell us about how that has played into this. dawn: we have been doing this survey for over six years now. , this always on culture has been there. with flexible working situations becoming more prevalent, people are reporting flexible working doesn't necessarily mean less working. most of them are look -- working longer hours than they would if they were in the office.

the good news is, because we are now better able to manage our , how weis more flexible want to plan it. people are reporting beverage -- better job sectors faction -- satisfaction. reasons include the ability to be home and look after their partners and families, but also improved communications with colleagues, whether remotely or on videoconferencing or by call. all of that is good news. that said, i would still encourage employers to be time,l that during this providing adequate mental health support is important because physically, being distant from colleagues and people you normally are in contact with can be difficult. some individuals are better set up for home working than others. so when it comes to evaluating how long flexible working could go on, it is important to remember that we are all

different and different employees will require different support to enable them to be productive during this time. to that point, when you look at virtual health, have attitudes changed both for the employers and the employees? yes. digital health, including telehealth and virtual consultations with doctors and psychologists, is something we have been pushing for the last couple years. but i think covid has really accelerated the adoption of a lot of these technologies. we have seen some of the surveys that, the majority of individuals across markets have virtualling to try out consultations in place of traditional face-to-face consultations. , our telehealth

utilization rates have gone up six fold since the beginning of covid. we think this is a permanent shift in consumer attitude towards digital health and it will stay and we should influence the way we evaluate how we finance health care solutions moving forward. it is all positive. we havend of the day, to make sure individuals get access, whether it is for generic health support, drug deliveries, or mental health support. these are the top three reasons why the individuals will use virtual solutions versus the traditional methods of access. newinda: we talk about the normal. what are the expectations of this new normal? it is going to mean different things and -- to different people. from the onset, working with teams will change. today, individuals who don't normally work from home have been forced to, and given how

long this may potentially go on employers, --e employers using flexible working arrangements as an ongoing arrangement as opposed to one that is temporary. we will see a shift. i think the greatest difference we will see is that health care trends. digital health has received a great boost from covid. virtual consultations with gps, specialists, organizing for drug delivery, seeing your psychologist online, is going to become a lot more normal than it was pre-covid and all of this will be here to stay. with that, i think as insurers, we need to look at how we provide benefits and coverage for customers, employers will need to ensure they provide the right collaboration and communication tools for employees to work from home, and also to figure out how they would provide a lot of the mental health or workplace

support they normally do on site. insurers like cigna, what are the services that are being considered? we have always provided customers with the ability to visit their doctors remotely. we provide coverage for that. that doesn't change but we are looking at expanding the scope. so we include not just general practitioners but also specialists, health care professionals like physiotherapists, psychologists, in some markets today we are already providing our customers with drug delivery services. we are expanding their supplies of medication to ensure they continue to get access during this time. or generally, we are looking at how we can adjust our offerings to enable employers to support employees virtually. putting online a lot of the off-line and in-person services that we provide today.

onhaad: i want to pick up that whole thing about the new normal. 13% more people believe life will never be the same again. do you think there is a change in employees, or employers, i should say, with how much more they are comfortable with the way things have gone in the last few months? yes, i think what i would say to that is, we are all learning and we are all trying to figure out what works. i think previously, because of covid, ongoing, employers have had to make certain adjustments to the way we work and the way we interact. some have adjusted more than others. i think moving forward, all employers and ourselves, really, are looking at what is the most effective and productive way for people to continue doing the

work they do, and if we have the right infrastructure, the right culture in place, we will enable -- be enabled to perform. we are still in the early days. most employers i think have been surprisingly pretty confident at their employees being able to do the work they need to do even remotely. i think employees have adjusted. from what we have seen in our survey, most of us are pretty resilient and have leveraged technology to help us connect , andfriends, family coworkers. in the coming months, we will see more changes and people adapting in new ways. but i do think a lot of the trends we see today will stay post-covid. rishaad: thank you so much for joining us, from cigna international markets. indian markets started their

haslinda: carlos ghosn has always said he was set up. there is some evidence now that may support his claim. the global business asia managing editor joins us on the line to discuss this. the key discovery and how does it change what we know about carlos ghosn's downfall. motivated nissan to

cooperate with prosecutors on the charges against carlos ghosn has been speculated about. the allegations against him, which as you know include breach of trust, stating his income, they date back years in some instances. thosesaid it was beyond allegations, that this was a takedown motivated by plans he had in play. the information we gathered, which includes emails between nissan executives and details from people who were there at the time, for the first time really show what heightened sense of anxiety some executives had at carlos ghosn's plan to deepen the alliances between mitsubishi and niche on -- and nissan and details the plans to reorganize their relationship with renault, which they are in alliance with. rishaad: the question is, why is this emerging now? how does it impact nissan

looking ahead and that alliance they have with renautl, which is at the epicenter of what is happening? growing was dissatisfaction at the alliance having sway renault over the japanese company but not in recent years. the emerging electric vehicle space, it has been quite a long time now since carlos ghosn's arrest. he escaped in that stunning escape by private jet to lebanon, so the trial is looking very remote, at least on japanese soil. we feel that the people who are more comfortable to talk about this now, we think are looking in the rearview mirror. .his could be destabilizing we learned of a memo sent by the

former head of the ceos office at nissan to the ceo the day before carlos ghosn's under -- arrest before they -- where they laid out a plan calling for the termination of the agreement that covered that auto alliance with mitsubishi and renault, and toked about renault's right nominate key executives and restoring nissan's right to buy shares or takeover renault. the alliance is already severely tested with the pandemic and the is within the auto industry. there is more evidence of that distrust feeling things -- fueling things. rishaad: thank you so much for joining us. markets, this is where we are. seeing declines right now, chinese markets also lower
