What are zombie companies? Japan's "zombie" problem has been around for a long time, said William Pesek, author of the book "Japanization: What the World Can Learn from Japan's Lost Decades." Raising the borrowing cost will put these zombie companies at risk of bankruptcy and bailouts, which could have a broader impact on the economy if there are job losses. "But the aid program has led to an increase in the number of 'zombie' companies that would otherwise have been unable to continue operating," the report added. Japan's stock markets have also been testing new highs since 2023, and higher interest rates could halt the bull run.

A sign is displayed outside a Toyota Motor Corp. dealership on January 30, 2024 in Tokyo, Japan. Toyota Motor raised its full-year operating profit forecast by nearly 9% on Tuesday, after its third-quarter earnings raced past analysts' estimates thanks to a weaker yen and strong sales of high-margin cars and hybrid vehicles. The Japanese firm raised its profit forecast for the current year to 4.9 trillion yen ($33 billion) from 4.5 trillion expected previously. That is well above an average analyst forecast of 4.6 trillion yen, according to LSEG data. Toyota's operating profit for the three months to Dec. 31 totalled 1.68 trillion yen, up 75.7% a year earlier and beating the average 1.3 trillion yen profit estimate in a poll of nine analysts by LSEG.

Apple reports fiscal first-quarter earnings after the bell. Investors will be closely watching to see if Apple guides to growth again in the current quarter. Some analysts believe Apple's iPhone revenue may look good in a soft market quarter, outperforming rivals that are also seeing weak demand. But a strong quarter of iPhone sales over the holiday season could mean a seasonally weak March quarter. "We remain comfortable with our current assumption of muted uptake for the device under 1% of Apple sales this year and next," Rosenblatt analyst Barton Crockett wrote in a note Wednesday.

Ukraine: Europe is braced for a showdown on funding
  + stars: | 2024-01-31 | by ( Luke Mcgee | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban says he doesn’t oppose European funding for Ukraine, but is insisting that the money should not come out of the EU’s budget. It is widely suspected that Orban is using his veto on the funds for Ukraine to force Brussels into unlocking the money for Hungary. Beyond Europe, there are also major concerns about what a second Donald Trump presidency would mean for Ukraine and European security as a whole. As the Ukraine crisis approaches the two-year mark it is becoming increasingly difficult for Europe to manage. On the other, the consequences of Ukraine losing the war could be unconscionable for the rest of Europe.

CNBC's Jim Cramer said he's never received more executive feedback on a "Mad Money" segment than he has for his Thursday night commentary in which he booted Tesla from the "Magnificent Seven" after the electric vehicle maker's disappointing earnings report and 2024 outlook. This was the most feedback I've ever had from a piece from CEOs," Cramer said Friday on "Squawk on the Street," the morning financial markets show he co-hosts on CNBC. He's been the lone host of "Mad Money," an evening program, since 2005. The colloquial moniker for the group of technology stocks came into being on Wall Street last year amid their strong outperformance compared with the broader market. Shares of Tesla tumbled 12% Thursday, their worst day in more than a year, as Wall Street digested the results and earnings-call commentary.
