☆ Morning Bid: Sayonara, cheap money
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-20 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

The Bank of Japan has loosened its yield-curve control, the 10-year yield has surged toward its new ceiling and pulled the yen with it. Japanese government bond futures fell fast enough to trip a circuit breaker in Tokyo and the Nikkei lost 2.8%. But markets have already taken the move as a step toward Japan extricating itself from yield curve control and near-zero interest rates. And that would bring down the curtains for the last bastion of super-easy policy in developed markets, leaving investors to ponder a higher-for-longer world. Asian shares (.MIAPJ0000PUS) spiked lower, the yen reached a four-month high on the dollar, while the yields on the 10-year Japanese bond hovered at 0.40% - just under their new roof of 0.5%.

☆ Morning Bid: Land of the rising yields

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan. In the last major central bank set-piece of the year, the BOJ raised its long-standing cap on 10-year Japanese government bond yields by quarter of a percentage point to 0.5% - sending those yields and the yen surging and squeezing stocks further. Yet most investors felt that was only likely when BOJ chief Haruhiko Kuroda stepped down in April. Japan's 10-year bond yields immediately almost doubled close to the new 0.5% target, with U.S. Treasury and European sovereign debt yields rising in their slipstream. Apart from the timing, the BOJ move marks a significant moment in draining the world economy of central bank liquidity pumped in to support economies during the pandemic.

☆ VIEW Bank of England raises rates to 3.5%, says inflation has peaked

LONDON, Dec 15 (Reuters) - The Bank of England on Thursday raised interest rates by a widely expected 50 basis points (bps) to 3.50%, in its ninth straight increase - and its eighth this year. UK rates began rising in December 2021, making the BoE the first of the world's major central banks to kick off a monetary policy-tightening cycle. MONEY MARKETS: Interest rate swaps showed investors expected rates to peak at 4.46% by next August, compared with an anticipated terminal rate of 4.53% just before the decision. Their own numbers have been pointing to a recession for a little while, and they've still materially hiked interest rates. EDWARD HUTCHINGS, HEAD OF RATES, AVIVA INVESTORS, LONDON:"The Bank of England duly delivered on financial markets expectations of a 0.50% hike.

☆ Sick of toxic social media? Meet the tech revolutionaries who are working to create a healthier online experience that puts you in charge.

Critics on both sides of the political divide say that social-media platforms have too much power over public discourse and use this power irresponsibly. In fact, a fresh wave of decentralized social networks is forming. What even is a decentralized platform? Still, decentralized and descaled social-media platforms pose a promising, if incremental, framework to address many ills of modern mass communication. "I compare it to the growth of organic, sustainably grown food," Bill Ottman, the founder and CEO of the partially decentralized social-media platform Minds, told me.

☆ A musician raised an AI 'baby' to harmonize with — and her newest experiment could usher in a brave, new world of art
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-29 | by ( Drew Austin | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +10 min

In the world of art, misgivings about AI have been particularly acute. Despite this widespread apprehension, Holly Herndon — an experimental musician and artist — doesn't think AI is nefarious or will ruin art. In her blog post announcing Holly+, Herndon said she envisioned a future where digitally created voices "soon become standard practice for artists and other creatives." While the project has yielded an ever-growing array of fascinating art, Holly+ also raises questions about the future of that art. (Anyone can use the Holly+ voice tool itself without submitting the output to the DAO, however.)

☆ Building a $2 million luxury chicken coop business
▼ + stars: | 2021-10-04 | by ( Amilin Mcclure | Claire Nolan | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: 1 min

Kathy Vegh Hughes is the Head Hen and Founder of Cutest Coops, a boutique chicken coop company based in Ohio. The journey to Cutest Coops started when Kathy took to raising chickens as a way to de-stress from the taxing job of running her father's company. Kathy struggled to find a coop that met her standards and gave her chickens protection from predators, so she started to toy with the idea of turning the chicken keeper lifestyle into a business. In June 2019, Kathy officially launched Cutest Coops with just $3,800. Now in 2021, Cutest Coops will be just shy of $2 million in sales and Kathy says she is just getting started.

Financial services and consulting are some of the most popular fields for business school grads. According to statistics from Harvard Business School, financial services and consulting are the most popular paths for its graduates. When Colloredo-Mansfeld's husband got a professorship at the University of Iowa, she started working at Iowa's business school. Additionally, he had gotten a taste of business school years prior when he attended Stanford's Summer Institute for General Management Program. It was on these site visits that Richman started to work directly with customers and realized she had a passion for selling.
