Bloomberg Daybreak Asia: Rally Wavers as Buyer Fatigue Kicks In

Bloomberg15-05-2025

Stocks in Asia fell early Thursday for the first time in five sessions as the rally on Wall Street sparked by US-China trade talks showed signs of exhaustion, on speculation stocks have run too fast amid risks stemming from a trade war to an economic slowdown and sticky inflation. Japanese and Australian stocks edged lower, while a gauge of US-listed Chinese companies climbed 1.2% on Wednesday. Tencent Holdings Ltd.'s revenue grew at its fastest pace in more than three years. We get a look at the market landscape with Mark Konyn, Chief Investment Officer at AIA Group. Stateside, the S&P 500 edged up just 0.1%. Most sectors fell, but big tech climbed. Boeing Co. gained on its largest-ever deal, with Qatar Airways placing an order for long-range jets during a visit to Doha by Donald Trump. The dollar erased losses as Bloomberg News reported the US is not working to include currency policy pledges in trade accords. Bond yields rose as Federal Reserve rate-cut bets receded. We get the views of John Creekmur, Chief Investment Officer at Creekmur Wealth Advisors.

US Justice Department reportedly shrinks foreign bribery investigation team

-- The team at the U.S. Justice Department responsible for investigating allegations of foreign bribery has significantly shrunk, according to a Reuters report on Monday. This comes as President Donald Trump's administration reassesses its enforcement of an anti-corruption law that has been in place for decades. The Department of Justice's Fraud Section, which is in charge of enforcing the anti-bribery law, has been reduced to around 15 prosecutors. This is a substantial decrease from the 32 prosecutors reported in January, as stated on the department's website, the report said. This reduction follows an executive order issued by President Trump in February. The order called for a temporary halt in the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), a law enacted in 1977. The FCPA prohibits companies operating in the U.S. from bribing foreign officials and is considered a fundamental part of federal efforts to fight corruption.

Waymo suspends robotaxi rides near LA protests after 5 cars are set ablaze

Waymo suspended robotaxi service in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday after five vehicles were set on fire during protests against President Donald Trump 's immigration raids in the city. Photos show Waymo cars covered in anti-ICE graffiti burning in the street, engulfed in smoke. A spokesperson for Waymo confirmed to Business Insider that five vehicles had been vandalized during the protests. The company temporarily suspended service in downtown LA and doesn't think its vehicles were intentionally targeted, the spokesperson said. Waymo is working with the Los Angeles Police Department, they added. On Sunday night, the LAPD said on X that "burning lithium-ion batteries release toxic gases." Electric vehicles often use lithium-ion batteries. The spokesperson told BI that Waymo, which Alphabet owns, operates more than 300 vehicles in LA and is continuing operations in other parts of the city. It's not the first time that Waymo vehicles have been targeted in California. Last year, a crowd in San Francisco set one of the robotaxis on fire during Lunar New Year celebrations amid a wave of distrust about driverless vehicles. The protests broke out on Friday after an immigration raid in the city. Over the weekend, Trump bypassed California Gov. Gavin Newsom 's authority and ordered 2,000 National Guard members to the LA area. Despite the dramatic images, the protests have largely been peaceful, according to multiple reports. The demonstrations have become a political lightning rod between Newsom and Trump, and the governor has announced that he's suing the administration. They may, however, serve as an olive branch between the president and Elon Musk, who had an ugly falling out last week.

KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to WBHT 2025-WBM

NEW YORK, June 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA announces the assignment of preliminary ratings to six classes of WBHT 2025-WBM, a CMBS single-borrower securitization. The collateral for the transaction is a $340.0 million non-recourse, first lien mortgage loan that is expected to be co-originated by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Goldman Sachs Bank USA. The floating rate loan is expected to have a two-year initial term with three 12-month extension options and require monthly interest-only payments. The mortgage loan will be secured by the borrower's leasehold interests in the Waikiki Beach Marriott located in Honolulu, Hawaii. The subject property features 1,307 keys, 10 food & beverage outlets, 24,572 sf of indoor meeting and ballroom space, 54,287 sf of retail space, two outdoor pools, a full-service spa, a fitness facility, game room, and a business center. The hotel was constructed between 1971 and 1979. Since 2017, the sponsor has invested approximately $118.4 million ($90,572 per key) on capital improvements at the property. The most recent comprehensive renovation was largely completed in 2022 when the sponsor spent $95.2 million ($72,863 per key) to renovate all guestrooms, the third floor terrace and pool deck as well as construct the Luana Lounge to cater to Japanese tour groups. For the TTM 3/2025 period, the subject property achieved an occupancy of 83.6% with an ADR of $262.96, resulting in a RevPAR of $219.87. As of the TTM 3/2025 period, the property achieved occupancy, ADR and RevPAR penetration rates of 98.0%, 102.6% and 100.5%, respectively. KBRA's analysis of the transaction included a detailed evaluation of the property's cash flows using our North American CMBS Property Evaluation Methodology, and the application of our North American CMBS Single Borrower & Large Loan Rating Methodology. In addition, KBRA also relied on its Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology for assessing counterparty risk in this transaction, and its ESG Global Rating Methodology, to the extent deemed applicable. The results of our analysis yielded a KBRA net cash flow (KNCF) for the subject of approximately $28.8 million, which is 22.3% below the issuer's NCF, and a KBRA value of approximately $288.4 million, which is 59.3% below the appraiser's as-is value. The resulting in-trust KBRA Loan to Value (KLTV) is 117.9%. In our analysis of the transaction, we also reviewed and considered third party engineering, environmental, and appraisal reports, the results of our site inspection of the property, and legal documentation review.
