Effects of Slow Growth on the Bank of Japan, China's AI Race
Description
Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
Japan saw economic growth slow down unexpectedly in the second quarter with Real GDP growing at an annual rate of only 1.1%.
The weakness reflects a slump in capital spending, given uncertainties stemming from the conflict in the Middle East. This potentially complicates the Bank of Japan's policy communications as it weighs the timing of its next rate increase. For more, Bloomberg TV hosts Paul Allen and Haidi Stroud-Watts spoke with Homin Lee, senior macro strategist at Lombard Odier on the Asia Trade.
The AI race in China is making a shift towards cyber defense. Z.ai has announced that its latest model, GLM-5.3, is designed with cyber defense in mind. For a deeper look at the AI race in China, Bloomberg TV hosts David Ingles and Yvonne Man spoke with Bloomberg Strategist Anthony Stephens and Bloomberg Analyst Robert Lea.
