James Reed 0:00
Building a successful business is hard. Building one that lasts is even harder. The jobs market is tough. Industries are evolving. AI is advancing. How do you adapt and stay ahead? I'm James Reed, Chairman and CEO of Reed, and host of the All About Business Podcast. Every Monday, I sit down with founders, CEOs, and entrepreneurs who've built extraordinary businesses, the people who get things done. I ask them about the decisions that mattered, the risks they took, the mistakes they made, and what they'd tell you to do differently. Whether you're building a business, leading a team, or simply fascinated, By how successful people think. You'll hear honest conversations about the good, the bad, and the ugly of building something that lasts.

The US and China have extended their trade truce for another two months as Xi Jinping begins his first US state visit in 11 years. President Trump personally greeted Xi at Joint Base Andrews, setting the stage for White House talks today. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the extension buys more time to work towards a broader economic agreement.
Scott Bessent 1:27
We have agreed uh today uh that we will extend what we call the Busan Agreement, the uh economic detent between the two countries uh that was scheduled to end on November tenth. That is going to be extended until January tenth to give us more time to see what we can do on the economic front.
Lizzie Burden 1:48
That was Scott Bessent. The truce leaves major disputes unresolved, including rare earths, trade and the two countries' race for dominance in artificial intelligence.
Stephen Carroll 1:58
Exclusive Bloomberg reporting is adding another point of tension as the summit gets underway. Our team has learned that the Chinese government is holding potentially sensitive F thirty five stealth aircraft parts. According to people briefed on the incident, the components were being shipped from Australia to the US, where they were unexpectedly diverted to Hong Kong. Our US National Security Reporter Tony Capaccio uncovered the story.
Tony Capaccio 2:20
In the interest of good relations, China should have returned it. I know the US was pressing for them to get it. Back in late May when this happened, uh the JPO they call the Joint Program Office hoped they would get the parts back and we fast forward to today. The Pentagon's still trying to get 'em back.
Stephen Carroll 2:37
Tony Cpacio there as Bloomberg has separately uncovered new evidence that Chinese sourced components are helping the Houthis build missiles and drones in Yemen. There's no evidence the Chinese companies involved knew their products were ultimately destined for the Iran-backed group. However, the findings put sensitively sensitive military technology into sharper focus as Trump and Xi begin their talks.

A worsening bond sell-off is pushing the average yield on global government debt to within a whisker of four percent, a level not seen since two thousand and seven. Treasuries had been a major driver of the losses, with yields on the five-year US bonds pushing above five percent for the first time since the global financial crisis. BNY Chief Investment Officer Jason Granit says that's down to energy prices as well as high growth.
Unknown 3:21
Number one, if you look at yields in the market, it's been unbelievably well correlated to the price of energy. Brent back over 100. That is as good a a a forecaster of this move recently as any. And the second thing is you had the strong economic data, the PMIs today, but broad-based strength, and part of that has been driven by strength coming out of the corporates. The earnings cycle has been very strong.
Lizzie Burden 3:43
So that was Granite, who adds that the l uh he sees the low era of low interest rates as over and these yields as normal. The moves have spread to Japan, with the ten year government yield hitting its highest since nineteen ninety six, and now the German ten year yield is up a basis point at three point five six percent.
