The labor market does remain on solid ground with the jobless rate at 3. 2 in march, and also 130 job positions for every 100 jobseekers. The problem now is that the labor market is failing to an uptick in spending. Retail sales fell 1. 1 in march. Household spending plunging 5. 3 . Both numbers reversing course from gains the previous month. Is not surprising given that the preliminary results of the spring wage talks have shown the pace of increases to be slower than last year, so households may be reluctant to open their wallets. Production did grow 3. 6 in march from a month earlier, beating estimates, but analysts say this is a reflection of a rebound from a month earlier when auto production was affected because of a steel mill explosion.

That is all win trending business returns. Taking a look at japan Consumer Prices dropping more than did in march. Session today to decide on expanding monetary stimulus. Whether guest questions the boj will go deeper into negative terrain. Thank you for joining us. Lets start off indeed with what today,ppen, could happen this move towards negative Interest Rates has some criticism and praise, but the jury is out, isnt it . I think Market Expectations stimulus frommore the boj, but as you mentioned, there is a lot of criticism, a hostile response when the boj first introduced a negative Interest Rate on deposits. The question will be what else can they do. There are several things they could do. They could increase the etf purchases as many fellow economists think that could be the way to go, or increasing the qe program to 90 trillion a year, so there are several things they can do, and they are certainly in a tough spot because inflation is not meeting their target, week growth in japan, so all these things will weigh on their minds heavily at this meeting. Rishaad there is some evidence qe program and negative rate policy is actually counterproductive. What is your view . I think there are some views that it could affect the banks earnings, so we probably would need more time for them to because it isact, something new, unconventional monetary policy. In fact, when the program was introduced a few years ago, corroded kuroda waited more than a year before moving on rates again. This time we are just a few months into negative rates territory, so we probably need more time to assess the impact of negative rates and whether it will help the country to move boost growth and inflation higher. Rishaad could they do Something Else . Could they come out of left field again . They could do Something Else. Like i mentioned earlier, they could increase more purchases, but then there would be a problem whether they will corner the bonds market, and this also has its own repercussions, so they are really like i mentioned in a tough spot. Probably the best thing for them outo actually is to wait the previous policy, give more time for them to start working through the economy. What did you make of the fed meeting taking place overnight . The fed officials are incrementally less dovish. They have removed concerns about the Global Development and global economies, especially further devaluation. While they are not preparing the markets for an increase in the Interest Rate in june, but i am sure in june the language will be more hawkish to prepare the eventual and just rate hike in the second half of this year. Rishaad what is their read for the dollar then . Isthe risk for the dollar delay inhere is more terms of the Interest Rate hike cycle, we will probably see more weakness in the dollar, but a strong dollar itself used to represent a positive development for the Global Economy, but now a weakerly more and stable dollar will be better to ease funding pressure on emerging markets and ease fears on deflation, so delaying probably the Interest Rate hike could have some positive effect impact on the dollar, and that will help the Global Economy to pull out of its current slump. Rishaad thank you very much indeed. A check of some stories making headlines around the world. Hisld trump laid out foreign policy, promising to shake up washingtons view of the world.

It revive some of the features that consumers wanted, like replaceable battery and memory so far it seems to be tracking will globally, but we will see. The iphone seven is coming in a few months. How well it can maintain momentum. Rishaad what is ahead now . I think beyond waiting for the iphone seven, which is where all the attention will shift, remember that half of samsungs revenue comes from beyond the smartphone arena. Rishaad people seem to forget that the mainstay of profits are from chips, etc. , and making parts for other companies. Look at this led deal with apple , supplying the screens. To be a samsung used major supplier to apple, still is, but there are some well known public disputes. Our reporter in seoul, korea has reported that they may win an exclusive supply agreement for the next generation leds greens, but even that wont kick in until 2017, so were looking to generations ahead. Does this signal a turnaround . That nobody is immune to the broader smart phone and pc downturn, as apple has shown. Things turn on a dime in this market, and samsungs shares have fallen three straight years, so investors need some convincing. Rishaad we will quickly move to some other stories.

They also announced a cutting of oil and gas output after this year for the first time in 17 years. What are they doing to weather the storm . You mentioned they are one of those companies which are being targeted for reform. Theres probably a lot of fat they can cut out. They may spin off their oil Services Field unit, doing something with their engineering units. They could become part of a strategic Holding Company, but the weather the storm, lets bring up the quote from the chairman in the earning statement, basically putting a positive spin on it saying we properly dealt with the risks and challenges and steer the company from the model of chasing speedy expansion to a model focusing on quality growth.

Powered by over 2400 journalists and 150 bureaus around the world, this is bloomberg news. I am yvonne man. , television is losing its grip on advertising budgets as Digital Advertising surges. Is worthl ad market over 500 billion, with tv accounting for 38 . Digital is expected to surpass television by the end of next year. Lets discuss this landscape. Digital is really important, but it is not just digital. There are so many nuances to how you advertise. Of flavorshas a lot to it. On the base level, display advertising, mobile advertising, video, and search, and social media advertising. There are many different branches, each one of those have advertisers taking notice. Asia has lagged behind the west in terms of adoption. What we have seen in the market the last two years is that it is starting to pick up. On the mobile phones, advertisers want to reach them there. Rishaad asia is way ahead when it comes to mobile phone penetration, Digital Advertising on mobile phones and smart phones. We often see a time lag between advertiser adoption and consumer adoption. Most markets in asia have over 200 penetration and 90 mobile phone for dissipation. Penetration. They are starting to put Major Investments in overall digital. Where we are seeing the real growth is on the mobile phone and with online video. Are talking about Programmatic Advertising as well. Tell us about that. It is a way of automating an uy. B the idea is that the more relevant the ad is to the consumer, the more they will respond to it. Are able to identify a user interested in travel because we have seen specific trends and behaviors in the past using digital, researching travel plans, hotels, and so on, so we are able to go back to an advertiser and say we have the consumer data that tells us that this user is likely going to be making travel plans. Rishaad do you have a reallife example of this . A lot ofk with different clients, so advertisers are saying i wanted people who are traveling on shorthaul flights are long haul flights. We are able to go to the client and say that we have users who have shown interest in doing this and we are able to sell them advertising space against that particular user behavior. Of narrowt is a form tasking, and the buzz words relevance, and you have to be relevant in order for a campaign to be successful. Yes, advertising is advertising when it is not relevant to a particular user. It is relevant when its close to what im looking for. It becomes information. The industry as a whole is to make advertising as relevant to a particular user, and thats what programmatic is one step closer to. Rishaad this is not a new phenomenon. Is there any way you have developed it differently from the rest of the crowd . There are a couple of things in terms of programmatic. Done is we are trying to localize the product offering. It is part of being relevant. Thery to make sure that content is local, hence that being relevant. The other thing is that we want to bring control back to advertisers in terms of how they do programmatic. There is a fair bit of confusion and technical jargon in the Digital Advertising space. What we are trying to do is break down those terms and make it as simple as possible to understand. At the end of the day, markets want results and reach their goals. That is where we are trying to be different in terms of bringing the control, the transparency, and relevant advertising means a better return for the investment. Rishaad this another aspect here. Isevision advertising perhaps becoming less important and digital is overtaking it, but is that because the pie is so much bigger now . Look at these as though they are completely separate, because we have a lot of evidence that you are watching evidence and on your smart phone at the same time. The rise of Digital Advertising has increased because advertisers are going where the consumers are. We are a Firm Believer that where advertising should be is on the 360 degree level. Each media has a role to play. History has shown that the emergence of a new medium has not replaced an old medium, so just because television came up 50 years ago, it did not replace the radio, and every media has a role to play. The Advertising Market is in a transitional phase today. I think the art and science need to come together. Video did not kill the radio star. There we go. Right, lets tell you about what we have coming out. Spacex maize start its mission to mars in a few years time. Have a look at social media and the reaction. Rishaad its not just metals more. S get what is driving this cotton spike . Good morning. A couple ofquite weeks for commodities in china. ,he latest one is carlton enough cotton traded on the busiest day last year to make 9 billion pairs of jeans, a enough for everyone on the planet. That follows a similar pattern to what we saw in the past week , wherel rebar, aluminum you have this big for him spike that is driving up prices, speculative trade piling in. Rishaad it does look a little bit like the stock market bubble we witnessed last year. Our authorities concerned . Yeah, it certainly looks that way. You have seen the exchanges over ,he last few trading days really every night there trying to calm trading, raising the cost of trading, raising the margins that traders need to buy an order to trade, and also limiting trading hours in some cases. It looks like there is a concern that this is going a bit too far and the authorities are stepping in early two dan from that down. Rishaad thanks for that. Shanghai. From lets have a look at what is going on social media wise with spacex shooting for the stars, at least the nearest planet. The red planet. Elon musk announcing on twitter that he plans to send a spacecraft, an unmanned spacecraft, to mars by 2018, a pretty aggressive strategy. He has said that space x is capsules to resupply the International Space station, but he wants to mars. This, whichncing has obvously gone viral. The tweet saying the plan to send dragon as soon as 2018. , quitesk tweeted himself of a plan for them, but he said that they would not recommend transporting astronauts beyond the earth and moon, so you would need a bigger version for that to come through, so he is saying that the internal file of the spacecraft is the size of an suv, so not for humans. He started to interact with a number of twitter users, people asking him questions, and he was replying. One person saying about what another planet . And he replied that it could land on venus, but would only last a few hours. Rishaad very High Pressure and high temperatures there. Thank you very much indeed. We take a break.
