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.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

Asian stocks rose, adding to a fourth week of gains, as moderating US inflation reinforced bets that the Federal Reserve will refrain from raising interest rates next month. Technology stocks extended their rebound. In Asia, the yen remained within striking distance of 160 per dollar, even after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s government was said to support an interest-rate increase. The Japanese currency was little changed Friday, near 159.43 per dollar. We get reaction from David Finnerty, Bloomberg News FX & Rates Strategist.

Plus - even as Treasuries rallied Thursday, the US sold 30-year bonds at the highest yield in a quarter century, underscoring the premium investors are demanding to finance the nation’s deficits. Meantime, back-to-back benign inflation prints, following last week’s softer-than-expected jobs report and a pullback in oil prices, are easing pressure on the Fed to tighten policy at its meeting next month. For more on the broader market backdrop, we hear from Tim Waterer, Chief Market Analyst at KCM Trade Global.
