Chinese Yuan and U.S. dollar banknotes are seen in this illustration taken March 10, 2023. The surge in their borrowing from Chinese banks has catapulted the yuan past the euro into becoming the second-biggest currency used in global trade finance, providing a fillip to Beijing's ambitions to internationalize the yuan. "Panda bonds are steadily promoting the renminbi's function as a funding currency", the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said a report last month.

Opinion: Why I’m not going to have children
  + stars: | 2023-11-11 | by ( Opinion Anna Lee | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +10 min
But each day, the current state of the world dissuades me more and more from having children. Like many folks in Gen Z (those born between 1997 and 2012), my main concern is climate change. As environmental catastrophes reach a caliber we cannot predict or conceive, having children is becoming less of a risk I’m willing to take. Coupled with the resources and opportunities that the US provides, my hypothetical children likely wouldn’t be among the worst-affected by climate change. Under today’s environmental and political climate, I find it is better to regret not having children than regret having them.

In a survey of 6,000 workers in Southeast Asia, only 29% indicated they never experienced a career break. "That's because if I'm perusing the resume as an employer, my initial question would be, 'I wonder what this gap represents.'" Vicki Salemi Monster career expertBut that doesn't mean that companies see the gap as a red flag, Salemi said. "You can say, 'I took a career break for personal reasons that required my attention. "Literally everybody probably either has has had to do [a career break] at some point or know someone who has."

The recent earnings calls of the world's two largest memory chipmakers signaled that weak demand may have finally bottomed out. This followed a 85.15% drop in first quarter operating profit from the previous quarter and a small 4.68% improvement in second-quarter operating profit from the first quarter. Such memory chips are found in consumer devices such as laptops and smartphones. During the pandemic, companies stockpiled memory chips to meet record electronics demand, but were left with excess inventory when that pressure eased. Inflation has caused consumers to rein in spending and cut back on purchases of consumer devices, driving down demand and prices for memory chips.

She noted that a flexible YCC "may be conducive to a more controlled yield rise since there's no more line in the sand to go against." Elsewhere, Kuroda wrote in notes to CNBC that Japanese banks "remain in focus as a beneficiary" of BOJ's interest rate normalization. A more flexible interest rate on BOJ operations may allow for a controlled rise in long-term yields, Kuroda said in notes to CNBC. "This might make it easier for banks to buy or reinvest JGB portfolio at higher yields."

Since buying Neopets, Law said his team is in the process of restoring those minigames and modernizing them to enhance the experience. Competing in the current metaWhile Law is optimistic, he is aware that Neopets was born in a different era of video gaming. For Neopets, Law said the merch business would include both physical, like plushies and clothing, and digital, such as in-game purchases. In 2024, Law's team is planning to launch World of Neopets, a 3D simulator game that will utilize the existing Neopets world, but in a modern gaming environment. Does this mean that new Neopets games will replace the 24-year old Neopets.com?

Waterfront residential real estate is typically built on or near oceans, lakefronts and rivers. Now, artificial lagoons are another body of water to add to the list. Shaped like large lakes with beaches, lagoons are generally shallow, compared with a lake or the ocean, and are somewhat similar to giant swimming pools. In the United Arab Emirates, Hawaii, Texas and Florida they are a factor for prospective home buyers who are seeking a waterfront property. “Some of these lagoons are located in inland destinations and have redefined what it means to own a waterfront property.” Lagoons offer aesthetic beauty and many recreational opportunities, Mr. Lim said, such as boating, swimming and paddle boarding.

Japan's central bank is allowing more flexibility in its yield curve control policy, shifting the language used to describe the upper bound of the 10-year Japanese government bond yield. In its release, the Bank of Japan said the target level of the 10-year JGB yield will be held at 0%, but will take the upper bound of 1% "as a reference," it said in the latest release. In July, the BOJ effectively widened its yield target band on the 10-year JGB by 50 basis points to 1% on either side. However, the bank indicated it will commit to allowing yields to fluctuate in the range of around plus and minus 0.5 percentage points from its 0% target level that was instituted last December. Separately, the bank continued to hold its short term policy rate at -0.1%, even as core inflation in the country exceeded the stated 2% target for 18 consecutive months.

Pictured here on Sept. 7, 2023, are residential buildings under construction at the Tao Yuan Tian Jing project, developed by Evergrande in Yangzhou, China. Shares of embattled Chinese property Evergrande hit an all-time low of 18.8 Hong Kong cents (2.4 U.S. cents) after a Hong Kong judge delayed the court hearing to wind-up its business. Evergrande's shares plunged over 20% from last Friday's close of 23.6 Hong Kong cents to the all-time low early Monday, before recovering slightly to 22.2 Hong Kong cents. Reuters reported that Justice Linda Chan from Hong Kong's High Court pushed back the hearing from Oct. 30 to Dec. 4, which would be the last before a decision is made on the winding up order. Evergrande must come up with a revised restructuring proposal before that date, or the company will likely to be wound up, she said.

A man walks past a logo of HSBC at its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia August 6, 2019. The results from Europe's biggest bank showed the pressure it is under to deliver returns to long-suffering investors now that interest rates worldwide are rising. In the third-quarter results, the lender booked a $500 million impairment related to the commercial real estate sector in mainland China. HSBC's Asia-focused competitor Standard Chartered (STAN.L) reported last week an unexpected one-third plunge in third-quarter profit due to a nearly $1 billion combined hit from its exposure to China's real estate and banking sectors.

HSBC's profit after tax came in at $6.26 billion in the three months ended September, jumping 235% compared to the $2.66 billion in the same period last year. Europe largest bank by assets also saw profit before tax for the quarter rise by $4.5 billion to $7.7 billion, mainly due to a higher interest rate environment. However, the numbers missed expectations by economists, who were forecasting a third quarter profit after tax figure of $6.42 billion and profit before tax of $8.1 billion. HSBC also attributed this to the higher interest rate environment, saying that it has supported growth in net interest income in all of its global businesses. For the nine months ended September, profit after tax stood at $24.33 billion, compared to $11.59 billion in the first nine months of 2022.

The need for conversion to low-carbon steel production is greater in Europe, where 57% of steel is produced in coal-fired blast furnaces. Swedish-based startup H2 Green Steel has signed deals to supply low-carbon steel to IKEA, Mercedes-Benz , BMW and Scania. Customers of H2 Green Steel have been willing to support the project based on their own green targets and their end-customers’ willingness to pay a green premium, he said. H2 Green Steel said it would charge a €150 premium, while Swedish steelmaker SSAB expects to charge double that. Research from the Rocky Mountain Institute suggests the IRA will encourage green steel investments that would, by 2030, produce about eight million tons of low-carbon steel, or nearly 10% of U.S. steel demand.
