Beyond the Japanese policy drama, investors will also have the latest Indian inflation and industrial production data, and Australian business and consumer sentiment figures to digest on Tuesday. The currency is getting little support from the interest rate outlook - economists currently expect the RBI to keep rates on hold then start easing policy the second quarter of next year.

☆ 'Blame the Boomers': A paradox in the housing market is what's really behind rising demand and home prices
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-09 | by ( Filip De Mott | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Strong demand among older Americans is keeping prices high, with analysts saying "Blame the Boomers." But Barclays analysts said that alone doesn't explain the surge in home pricing. AdvertisementAdvertisement"This may strike some as paradoxical, as many associate demand for housing units with rates of increase in population," analysts said, adding: "Is it not true that an older population requires less housing? While it is likely true that older people tend to prefer smaller housing units, it is not true that an older population requires fewer housing units." And as there's increasingly more older Americans, housing demand is being pushed higher, fueling price gains in for homes, Barclays wrote.

It also expects to grow earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) by $1.5 billion this year.

Shares of AMC Entertainment fell sharply in early trading Wednesday after the theater chain said in a filing that it plans to sell up to 40 million new shares to raise cash. AMC was widely expected to sell additional shares after the successful conversion of the preferred APE shares into AMC common stock in August. The theater chain sold millions of shares of common stock in recent years after becoming one of the so-called meme stocks popular with retail traders. The company issued the preferred APE shares as part of a strategy to change its corporate voting structure and get shareholder approval to sell additional common stock. AMC said in the filing Wednesday that it will sell the new shares through "at-the-market" offerings, without a specific time frame.

Arm kicked off its roadshow in Baltimore, where influential asset manager T Rowe Price is headquartered, underscoring the fund manager's significance in big IPOs. Arm disclosed the proposed range would value it at between $48 billion and $52 billion. The valuation that Arm is chasing represents a climb-down from the $64 billion valuation at which SoftBank last month acquired the 25% stake it did not already own in the company from its $100 billion Vision Fund. Jamie Mills O’Brien, portfolio manager at British fund manager Abrdn, said he found SoftBank's valuation ask in the IPO "more palatable than initially discussed." Unlike most loss-making but high-growth tech companies that debut with lofty valuations but later plummet below list price, Arm is profitable.
