A volatile start to the trading week threatens a recent rally in Tokyo | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
stocks, which had hit a six-month high. And a scary business. How one | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
amusement park in Hong Kong is banking on thrills this Halloween. | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
Welcome to Asia Business Report. Investors are waiting to see the | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
results of earning reports due out later today from some of Japan's | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
biggest companies. It includes an automaker and an airline, just to | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
name a few. The numbers could indicate if Japan's economy is | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
starting to show signs of recovery. The Japanese yen remains close to | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
its weakest level against the US dollar in three months, which had | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
said Tokyo stocks to a six-month high last Friday. The Nikkei had | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
gained Sarah Coyte 6%, closing advertised level since April. -- | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
0.6%. You can see that as a huge difference, a far cry from almost a | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
year ago. Earlier I spoke with the chief economist at Japan Micro Kerr | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
advisers and asked him by the yen is weakening and if the trend will | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
last. The yen weakness is more US driven. The US Federal Reserve is | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
expecting to raise their policy rate in December. So the yen is basically | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
we weakening because of that. Do you see this influencing corporate Japan | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
as well? Are we seeing Japanese companies growing, singing good | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
profits, because of growth in markets like the US. A lot of these | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
companies are export reliant -- ceiling. Or is it entirely due to | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
the wiki game? I would say it is entirely due to the weakening yen, | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
but the yen weakening has helped the Japanese economy significantly. It | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
has been one of the biggest drivers for Arboyne mix. Raising profit | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
growth and Japanese inflation -- Abenomics. I don't think this yen | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
weakness will continue. The bank of Japan has pretty much used up all of | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
its policy tools to weaken the yen. I do not think the yen weakening | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
will continue. In terms of corporate Japan, outpacing growth in markets | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
like the US and elsewhere? Unfortunately, the Japanese | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
exporters are actually losing market share. Despite the yen weakening. | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
When you look at the export growers of Japanese companies in volume | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
terms, it is actually growing less than the global trend. I don't think | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Japanese companies are actually expending their market share. It | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
doesn't help as well but we have a lot of uncertainty over the next few | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
weeks for the market. You have the US election coming up. The Federal | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Reserve and the bank of Japan are both meeting this week. What in fact | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
might this have on the market? I don't think the bank of Japan will | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
do any policy action. If they do, that will be surprising. The yen | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
could weaken on the back of the news, but I think it is unlikely. So | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
in terms of other news, Brexit, I don't think it is that important for | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
Japan, but if it does to the extent that it has a negative repercussions | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
to the global economy, it made for Japan. Overall, on balance, I think | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
there is bad news brewing somewhere in the world that will impact | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
Japanese growth negatively. Won Australia's third biggest bank, | :05:13. | :05:24. | |
ANZ, is scaling back on its Asian exposure. It will offload its retail | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
and wealth businesses in around nine Asian countries. Singapore's biggest | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
lender, DBS, will buy the assets from ANZ, including in markets like | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
China and Indonesia. DBS said it posted a slight increase in | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
third-quarter net profit but bad debt charges doubled because of the | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
bank's exposure to the troubled oil and gas sector. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
South Korea will provide financing to local shipping phones so they can | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
buy new vessels to remain competitive. The government is | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
stepping up support for local shipbuilding and the shipping | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
industries following the collapse of a big company in August. Canada and | :06:07. | :06:15. | |
EU have signed a landmark trade agreement that took nearly seven | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
years to negotiate. They hope it will generate another $13 billion | :06:20. | :06:20. | |
per year. We will find out later today if a | :06:21. | :06:32. | |
Brexit checkup is having an impact on the world's largest advertising | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
company when they release their most recent trading statement. Its chief | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
executive said TV and newspapers could see a substantial hit to their | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
bottom line. But what about digital advertising? Going viral on the | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Internet is considered the new holy Grail. What does it take to maximise | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
your shares? I'm really is dedicated to analysing digital viewing habits, | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
and we spoke to their co-founder -- Unruly. We are seeing tremendous | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
growth in this region. In India we are seeing explosive growth with | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
mobile usage and with mobile advertising. India is interesting | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
because it is still early days for that market. A lot still goes into | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
old-fashioned media such as TV, newspapers and prayed. But we are | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
seeing a big shift. Up to $1 billion this year in digital ad spend, which | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
will double by 2020 -- print. What does it take for a video to go viral | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
in this world, and what numbers are we talking about? What we are | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
booking ads when we are tracking the reality is emotional impact and | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
social sharing. They are different emotions that trigger people in | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
different demographics to have a strong response and share the video. | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
A great example is the difference between baby Boomers and millennial | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
's. Millennial is a more inspired to share is a video makes them happy, | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
and they want to share quickly. Whereas with baby Boomers, they are | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
much more prepared to wait it out and find a bit of content. It | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
doesn't matter if it is a week or two old. If it has integral value in | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
their eyes, they will share that content. Ten years ago, we were | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
looking at a million views for a vile hate, and now it is tens of | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
millions. Are they shared across borders? -- viral hit. The extent to | :08:23. | :08:31. | |
which use a shared more broadly or narrowly is emotional trigger. | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
Videos tend to struggle to cross boundaries because you might does | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
not always cross borders well, whereas happiness is a global | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
trigger. We see brands looking to create inspirational heartwarming | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
content able to cross those national boundaries more easily. | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
That was Sarah Wood from Unruly. We have covered our fair share of scary | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
stories on this programme, but this Halloween, stock crashes and profit | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
warnings can step aside, because it is one of the most important times | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
of the year for theme parks. Over in Hong Kong, they are going all out | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
with spooky events to try to attract more visitors at a time when tourist | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
numbers have been dropping. We went to find out more. | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
Halloween. It is a chance to dress up in costumes, and for some, an | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
occasion for ghostly encounters. And for theme parks, it is a chance to | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
cash in on festivities. At Hong Kong's Ocean Park, they have hired | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
more than a dozen performers and lodged a Ghostbusters game for fans. | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
And this is peace be keep offering for visitors looking for that extra | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
right. -- this is the spooky offering. I think it was very scary. | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
It was fun. Even though I knew what is going in expecting, it was still | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
dramatic. You see one, and then the other one pops up. It gives you a | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
fight. Ocean Park expects 1 million visitors to its Halloween event this | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
year. There is a reason why theme parks very special event. They had | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
to be created to attract new customers. It has not been easy for | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
Hong Kong's tourism industry. Numbers dipped with mainland China | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
tourists dropping by 9%. Despite the drop, Ocean Park says it is | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
confident it can bring tourists back. We are continuing to see some | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
softening in the tourism market in Hong Kong because of some of the | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
social issues, also the currency and the strengthening of the Hong Kong | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
dollar has impacted inbound tourism. Right now we are seeing a trend | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
coming back. Groups from China are strong. We certainly hope to see | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
that continue. We have been looking at other markets. Tourism from the | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
Philippines, Taiwan, Singapore, and Halloween abstract that business as | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
well. As the sun sets, more ghosts, to play. Ocean Park is to be a | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
novelty for tourists and residents in Hong Kong. But now it faces | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
competition from Disneyland in Hong Kong and Shanghai. And several new | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
theme parks are set to open in Asia next year. While tourists are spoilt | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
for choice, Ocean Park will be hoping it's scary side keeps | :11:18. | :11:18. | |
visitors coming back for more. I can tell you, looking at the | :11:19. | :11:29. | |
markets, they are getting screwed as well buy fresh worries over US | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
presidential candidate's Hillary Clinton scandal a week ahead of the | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
election. The Nikkei reversing their six-month highs we told you about at | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
the start of the programme. The Hang Seng has also opened weaker. The | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
only one defined that is the stallion All Ordinaries, which is | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
currently five. That is it for this edition of Asia Business Report -- a | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
stallion. Thank you for watching. -- Australian. | :11:59. | :11:59. | |
The Democratic leader in the US Senate furiously denounces the head | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
of the FBI over the investigation into Hillary Clinton's e-mails. | :12:06. | :12:08. |
