MORE SIGNS OF A SHARPER SLOWDOWN IN CHINA Once the world's workshop, China's exports are facing their most protracted declines since the global financial crisis, Neil Gough writes in The New York Times. China's trade slump deepened in August - an indication of a sharper industrial slowdown at home and weaker demand from overseas. Exports fell 5.5 percent in August and 1.4 percent in dollar terms in the first eight months of the year.
The country's manufacturing sector is losing competitiveness as labor costs rise and the renminbi remains relatively strong despite its devaluation, making Chinese goods more expensive for foreign buyers. Imports are falling even more steeply. They fell for the 10th month in a row in August, recording a drop of 14 percent by value. Economists blame the rout in commodity prices, but imports have fallen in volume too. The falling imports of industrial raw materials point to weakening domestic demand, driven by a slump in manufacturing and new housing construction. The weak trade data weighed on markets, with Japan's main index, the Nikkei 225, closing 2.4 percent lower. In Shanghai, stocks initially fell when the trade figures were released, but heavy buying in the afternoon set off a rally. Shares closed 2.9 percent higher - a pattern seen often in recent weeks, as China's government appears to continue its efforts to support the slumping stock markets. China's leadership made the surprise decision last month to devalue the currency by about 3 percent, the renminbi's sharpest drop in two decades. But the central bank has since intervened in the markets on a massive scale, fighting pressure to weaken the currency further by selling dollars and buying renminbi. As a result, China is burning through foreign exchange reserves at the fastest pace yet. Reserves fell by nearly $100 billion in August alone, though they are still huge at $3.56 trillion. Still, analysts say that the recent devaluation was most likely too modest to give China's exports much of a boost, and that the exchange rate is still stronger than China's slowing economic growth would otherwise support.
PATRICK DRAHI, A POTENTIAL PLAYER IN U.S. CABLE When the French-Israeli billionaire Patrick Drahi was mentioned as a potential suitor for Time Warner Cable, it may have been the first time many Americans had heard his name. But he is no stranger to American cable, Nicola Clark writes in The New York Times.
Mr. Drahi resigned from his job at a Philips fiber-optics lab in 1990, telling his wife he was going to try his hand in the cable industry in the United States, inspired by the significant number of American cable entrepreneurs on the Forbes list of wealthy people. The young engineer then left Paris for the United States and offered his services as a consultant to American cable investors, advising them on European acquisitions. Within three months, he was earning more than he had been making at Philips. Now, 25 years later, Mr. Drahi may be setting off on an American cable-buying spree. He bought Suddenlink Communications, the seventh-largest cable operator in the United States, for $9 billion in May. Time Warner accepted a $56 billion offer from Charter Communications in the end. But Altice, the publicly traded company that Mr. Drahi controls, has never been shy about making debt-driven acquisitions. The Suddenlink deal has set off speculation that the Amsterdam-based company, with a stock market value of nearly $28 billion, may be eyeing midsize American players, including AT&T, Cox Communications, Cablevision or Verizon. This in turn has attracted more investor attention to Mr. Drahi's strategy. In Europe, he has focused on the convergence of fixed-line cable, Internet services and wireless communications. "Patrick believes that high-speed communications networks today are the equivalent to what networks for water, electricity and railways were to economic development in the 19th and early 20th centuries," said Jérôme Yomtov, a former investment banker at HSBC who runs Altice's main French cable and telecommunications business, Numericable-SFR. Analysts estimate that Altice has the financial firepower to pursue up to €30 billion in debt-driven deals, provided that interest rates remain low and the group continues to generate sufficient revenue to service its debts. The company's borrowing strategy has made some French leaders nervous about its acquisition methods. Emmanuel Macron, the French economy minister, worried that it might one day require a government bailout to preserve jobs. Mr. Drahi thinks these concerns are overblown. "When you are focused on debt reduction, it's because you have a growth problem," Mr. Drahi told a French legislative committee. "If I stop my so-called bulimic development, in five years, I would have no debts," he said. "And then what? That would be stupid, because I will not have grown for five years."
DECODING STEVE JOBS The debate over whether Steve Jobs deserves to be so admired continues, nearly four years after his death, Andrew Ross Sorkin writes in the DealBook column.
When he died, "the grief for Jobs seemed to go beyond the products he left behind," said Alex Gibney who directed the documentary "Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine." "We mourned the man himself. But why?" The documentary Mr. Gibney directed makes the case that Jobs does not deserve his iconic status, but these efforts to paint Jobs as a hero or a villain miss a larger truth, Mr Sorkin argues: "He can be both and still be worthy of acclaim." Most people are flawed. The influential can be even more so. Although Mr. Gibney held out that John Lennon and Martin Luther King Jr. were more worthy than Jobs of the outpouring of grief that followed their deaths, they were troubled too. Lennon's son, Julian, has talked about how he never experienced the peace and love that his father would talk about to the rest of the world. King has been chronicled as a serial adulterer. Jobs also defies simple characterization. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Jonathan Ive, Apple's famed designer, recalled how he pulled Jobs aside for being too tough on his team , and asked him to be nicer. "Well, why?" Jobs replied. "Because I care about the team," Mr. Ive responded. "And he said this brutally, brilliantly insightful thing, which was, 'No, Jony, you're just really vain,'" Mr. Ive recalled. "He said, 'You just want people to like you, and I'm surprised at you because I thought you really held the work up as the most important, not how you believed you were perceived by other people.'" This anecdote and the documentary have left Mr. Sorkin wondering:Would you rather do something extraordinary that benefits the lives of millions or be liked by several hundred? And does it have to be an either-or question?
ON THE AGENDA Narayana Kocherlakota, president of the Minneapolis Fed, will speak about the outlook for monetary policy in the United States at 5:15 p.m. at Northwestern University's Center for International Macroeconomics. Leon G. Cooperman, chief executive of Omega Advisors, will be a guest on CNBC between 7 and 8 a.m. Warren E. Buffett, chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway, is a guest on Bloomberg Television at midday. William A. Ackman, chief executive of Pershing Square Capital Management, will be a guest on Fox Business Network at 5 p.m.
ARTIC OIL BONANZA STILL FROZEN The warming Arctic should have transformed Teriberka, an impoverished Russian fishing village on the coast of the Barents Sea, into Gazprom's northern hub. The Kremlin has spent billions and it was once the most ambitious project planned in the Arctic Ocean, but now there is little to show aside from a shuttered headquarters and an enormous gravel road, Steven Lee Myers and Clifford Krauss report in The New York Times. After years of work, Russia's plans for the project came under pressure from technical challenges, a changing energy market and the global financial crisis.
Despite Gazprom's promises to resume drilling - in 2014, then in 2016 or 2019 - residents in Teriberka have become resigned about the boom that never was. The contractors who arrived in droves have departed, and the enormous embankment where Gazprom built a gravel road, encroaching on the village's cemetery, comes to a dead end at a rocky cliff. Russia's experiences have highlighted the challenge facing those dreaming of an Arctic Klondike. Shifts in the global economy, fierce opposition from environmentalists and formidable logistical obstacles have all tempered enthusiasm for the Arctic's imagined riches. The world today is awash in oil and natural gas, largely because of the shale revolution in the United States. Saudi Arabia and other states around the Persian Gulf are producing at maximum levels. If the nuclear agreement with Iran is approved, Iran's reserves could flood the market. The price of oil has plummeted from more than $90 a barrel to less than $50. After years of planning and delays, Shell's drilling project in the stormy waters of the Chukchi Sea is being closely monitored by the industry as amake-or-break test of the viability of production in the Arctic. Shell has already spent $7 billion and has had to deal with dogged protests, harsh weather and an accident in July that gouged a hole in one of its ships after it struck an uncharted shoal in the Aleutian Islands. Now, even optimistic projections suggest the Arctic might not prove to be as transformative as once imagined. According to Rystad Energy, a global consultancy based in Norway, production from offshore fields in or near the Arctic could double between 2015 and 2025 to 1.4 million barrels a day, which would still be less than 2 percent of current global production.
