Saudi Arabian club Al nasr has reportedly offered Chris Tanner now to a three and a half year contract valued at more than a 100 million pounds per year, but the 5 time below door winner will wait until after the World Cup to make a decision Ronaldo left Manchester United by mutual termination and is free to sign with any club in report at least still hoping to land with the European club. Saudi Arabia hopes that with Ronaldo playing in the country that would help their 2030 joint World Cup bid with Greece and Egypt.

I'm the schwarzman met your Bloomberg world sports op day. Markets, headlines, and breaking news 24 hours a day. At Bloomberg dot com, the Bloomberg business out and at Bloomberg quick tape. This is a Bloomberg business flash. Quite a robust rally in the Asia Pacific here at the moment if you look at futures, and even the cash markets and the limited market action we see the nikkei up one and a half percent, the SX 200, up one full percent by now you've heard a lot about the fed chief Jerome Powell indicating a slowing down of the pace of rate hikes. But what about what's happening in China? China is amending its COVID approach and we heard from the vice premier soon line. So this is not an official of the health commission. This is about as high as you can get except for the general secretary himself saying and actually putting this on omicron saying that as omicron becomes less severe, the anti virus fight can move into a new stage and thus the amending the COVID approach. So investors feasted on that, Alibaba was up 9.6% that was precisely what the NASDAQ golden dragon China index was up 9.6%, and that's a lot more than the gains we saw on Wall Street. So perhaps to global investors, the reopening of China, if indeed that's what's happening, it's just as important. If not even more important than the fed indicating a slightly slower pace of rate hikes. We'll get to some of the numbers when we look at markets again in 15 minutes. That's a check of market action. Let's get headline news with Ed Baxter in San Francisco. All right, Brian, thank you officials are
