French President Emmanuel Macron pushed for more Chinese investment during a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, as Paris looks to rebalance its economic ties with Beijing and narrow a persistent trade gap. Macron said Europe, including France, needs a clearer framework to attract more Chinese direct investment. He warned that China's growing trade surplus with the rest of the world is becoming unsustainable, while investment flowing into Europe remains too low. We heard from Bloomberg China Correspondent Minmin Low.

Asian equities dropped in early trading following a lackluster session on Wall Street that weighed on tech stocks and bonds, with focus turning to the release of key US inflation data later on Friday. We get an outlook from Charu Chanana, Saxo Chief Investment Strategist. She spoke to Bloomberg's Avril Hong and Paul Allen.

And in the states, markets struggled to gain traction ahead of the Federal Reserve's meeting next week. We spoke to James Thorne, Chief Market Strategist at Wellington-Altus Private Wealth.

Asian stocks advanced at Thursday's open, tracking gains in US peers after more evidence of a slowing job market boosted the case for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates next week. We speak to Mark Cranfield, Bloomberg MLIV Strategist.

In the states, data on Wednesday showed US companies shed payrolls in November by the most since early 2023, reinforcing concerns about a more pronounced labor market weakening. Swaps pricing indicated rising expectations for a December cut Wednesday, with traders assigning more than a 90% chance to a 25-basis-point reduction. Separately, US services activity expanded at a slightly faster pace, while a measure of prices paid dropped to a seven-month low. We speak to Adam Turnquist, Chief Technical Strategist at LPL Financial.
