US Firms Add Just 29,000 Jobs, Unemployment Rate Ticks Up: Instant Reaction
The US added fewer jobs than expected in September and wage growth slowed, signaling some caution among employers amid rising costs. Nonfarm payrolls increased 29,000 last month after a downward revision to the prior two months, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data out Friday. That missed all estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists. The unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, partly reflecting a growing workforce. Bloomberg’s Tom Keene and Paul Sweeney get reaction from: Claudia Sahm, Chief Economist at New Century Advisors Rebecca Patterson, Senior Fellow at Council on Foreign Relations Kristina Campmany, Senior Portfolio Manager at Invesco See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chinese Consumer Stocks Struggle, Jera Global CEO on New AI Infrastructure Project
Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Under the shadow of Beijing's single-minded focus on artificial intelligence, China's consumer stocks are trapped in a lost decade. The industry is showing a stark contrast with the high-flying tech sector. MSCI China's consumer goods sub-indexes plunged roughly 18% over the past six months to near 10-year lows, while the AI-heavy technology gauge surged to more than double its 2016 level. During the latest earnings season, consumer staples firms in the MSCI gauge missed profit expectations by nearly 50%. We speak to Winnie Hsu, Asia Equities Reporter. Plus - Yukio Kani, Global CEO and Chair at Jera, discusses the company's partnership with Dell and UK-based AI infrastructure developer RHAELM on a $15 billion AI infrastructure project in Japan. He speaks with Shery Ahn on Bloomberg: The Asia Trade.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Japan's Biggest Firms Remain Confident, Micron Earnings
Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Confidence among Japan's largest firms remains elevated with sentiment among manufacturers rising to the highest level in more than eight years, a result that suggests the Bank of Japan can continue raising interest rates without buckling corporate optimism. The sentiment index climbed to 24 in September from 22, improving for a sixth straight quarter, the BOJ's quarterly Tankan business survey showed Thursday. Economists in a Bloomberg survey had forecast a rise in the gauge to 25. The survey is one of the bank's most closely watched data sets. We speak to Bloomberg's FX and Rates Strategist David Finnerty. And - Micron Technology Inc. gave an upbeat forecast for the current quarter, fueled by the AI building frenzy, though the chipmaker warned that rising compensation would weigh on profit margins. Revenue will be about $61.5 billion in the fiscal first quarter, which runs through November, the company said in a statement Wednesday. Analysts estimated $56.8 billion on average. Excluding some items, profit will be about $38.15 a share, compared with a projection of $36.02. Bloomberg's Shery Ahn spoke to Futurum Head of Semiconductors & Infrastructure Rolf Bulk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Asia Equities Rebound, Trump-AI Leaders Meet
Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Asian stocks gained for the first time in three sessions and bonds steadied after a bruising selloff as traders awaited a crucial US inflation reading for clues on the path of interest rates. The dollar was set for its best month since June. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index gained 0.8%, led by technology shares after a key gauge of US semiconductor stocks advanced. SoftBank Group Corp., an investor in OpenAI, rose 6% after the artificial intelligence startup aimed to raise at least $30 billion in fresh funding at a $1.4 trillion valuation, according to people familiar with the matter. We spoke to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities. And - President Donald Trump shot down the idea of new federal regulations on artificial intelligence after meeting at the White House with top industry executives amid growing global concerns over threats posed by the technology. In lieu of new rules, Trump and the executives agreed on a framework where they would partner with outside auditors to conduct safety assessments of models and implement stronger internal controls over their systems, according to a copy of an accord signed by the president and Silicon Valley leaders following a White House lunch on AI risks Tuesday. The luncheon brought together nearly two dozen Silicon Valley leaders, including Anthropic PBC Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei and Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang. After the event, Trump said existing laws would be enough to safeguard Americans from AI's potential risks, despite a growing nationwide backlash to the technology. Bloomberg's Avril Hong spoke to Flint Global Partner Ewan Lusty. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bond Selloff Saps Risk Appetite
Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Bond investors got a respite in Asian trading from a bruising selloff after surging oil prices and mounting bets on further Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes drove Treasury yields to multi-year highs. Asian stocks fell. The US 10-year yield held at 5.23% after climbing as much as 11 basis points Monday to the highest since 2007. Two- and 30-year yields were steady as traders braced for the Fed to keep tightening policy to rein in inflation. We speak to Paul Dobson, Bloomberg's Executive Editor for Asia Markets. And - Climbing oil prices, stronger US business activity and concerns over elevated government debt have fueled the biggest Treasury selloff since President Donald Trump's April 2025 tariff rollout. Bloomberg TV host Shery Ahn spoke to Capital.com Senior Market Analyst Kyle Rodda.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oil rose and Asian stocks fell. Oil remains a key driver for markets as elevated energy costs add to inflation pressures and bolster expectations for further rate increases. Bloomberg's Shery Ahn spoke to Nomura International Wealth Management North Asia CIO Julia Wang. And - Australia's central bank is poised to resume raising interest rates on Tuesday as policymakers lose patience with persistently strong inflation, with debate mounting over whether a follow-up hike will be needed.
