☆ The Land Where Inflation Is Good News
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-09 | by ( Miho Inada | Peter Landers | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

TOKYO—For a quarter-century, Japan tried every trick in the central-banking book to boost prices and jolt its troubled economy back to life. The cure turned out to be pandemic and war. Higher energy and food costs triggered by the Ukraine war, coupled with Covid-era supply-chain snags, are bringing a surprise end to the long, bleak era of Japanification. Businesses are increasing prices significantly, and wages have begun inching up.

☆ Dollar extends drop, still vulnerable after Fed
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-06 | by ( Samuel Indyk | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

The dollar index was hovering around a 6-1/2 week low of 104.84, after falling around 1.4% last week. "You could still see a somewhat weaker dollar in the short-term, but if the (euro-dollar) rally continues it needs to get some fuel from somewhere." JPMorgan analysts say a sustained dollar sell-off would need signs of improvement in the euro zone, China and other regions, which it says are "still tenuous". The latest growth and inflation data from the euro zone and manufacturing surveys from China bear that out. Euro zone recession fears hardened on Monday after a survey showed a downturn in business activity accelerated last month as demand in the services sector weakened further.

More remote work opportunities are credited for helping women with young children get jobs. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdditionally, the Wells Fargo economists also identified women with young children as a new strength for the job market. This surge in employment, particularly among mothers with young children, has played a significant role in boosting the economy. To be sure, this level of workforce participation could drop in the coming months as childcare opportunities become harder to find. Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesThe robust labor market has helped boost the economy despite inflation still above the Federal Reserve's 2.0% target.

Will the S & P 500 be nearer to 5,000 by the end of the year? Morgan Stanley Investment Management's Andrew Slimmon was among some on Wall Street who earlier this year believed so. The S & P 500 closed at 4,193.80 on Tuesday. Although markets have been volatile lately, Slimmon expects the S & P 500 to be closer to 5,000 than 4,000. But his S & P 500 prediction is predicated on a few factors, Slimmon told CNBC's " Squawk Box Asia. "

Russian President Vladimir Putin chairs a meeting with members of the Security Council via video link at the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia October 27, 2023. Washington expressed deep concern about Russia's decision and it was a step in the wrong direction. Moscow says its deratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) is merely designed to bring Russia into line with the United States, which signed but never ratified the treaty. But some Western arms control experts are concerned that Russia may be inching towards a nuclear test to intimidate and evoke fear amid the Ukraine war. Post-Soviet Russia has not carried out a nuclear test.

☆ AI is making its way into the courtroom and legal process

"AI is really reaching all aspects of the law," said Wayne Cohen, managing partner at Cohen & Cohen and a law professor at the George Washington University School of Law. While the current use of AI in the U.S. legal industry operates intensely behind the scenes, it's inching further into the front lines of the courtroom. Jason Boehmig, CEO and co-founder of digital contract company Ironclad and who has experience as a corporate attorney, said AI can review a company's legal contracts, learning its preferred language and drafting and negotiating contracts in the organization's historic legal voice. On the spectrum of the legal system, the businesses on either end of the contract arguably have less to lose than, say, an individual whose basic freedoms are at stake. In all of these applications, experts say the ideal situation is for humans to review AI's work.

Wayfair is inching closer to profitability, but its third-quarter results still fell short of revenue expectations as the home market continues to be under pressure. Excluding one-time items, Wayfair reported an adjusted loss of 13 cents per share. Wayfair has been focusing on cost discipline to drive profitability and protect its margins as demand remains tepid across the home goods sector and other consumer discretionary categories. That discipline led Wayfair to see adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of $100 million, compared to the $55 million analysts had expected, according to StreetAccount. During the quarter, those costs came down to $596 million, compared to $656 million in the year ago period.

Asian markets on Monday will also give their initial reaction to news over the weekend of an expected U.S.-Sino summit between presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping next month. But the MSCI emerging market index and Asia ex-Japan index's falls of around 0.6% last week were notably shallower than the MSCI Work index's 2% slide. China's recent economic and market signals, at least, are brightening a little.

A financial planner told me I need to understand how my retirement account is invested. I don't feel like I have the knowledge or time to be able to manage my retirement accounts on my own. However, Kovar said it's still important to keep a pulse on what's happening inside of those retirement accounts. Kovar recommended that people look at their retirement accounts every 6-12 months to determine how much risk they want to take on. Kovar recommended those with a 401(k) consider having a second retirement fund as well, so their investment options aren't limited.

The dollar softened against a basket of currencies on Tuesday, mirroring a dip in Treasuries yields as investors awaited key U.S. economic data before the Federal Reserve's monetary policy meeting next week. The dollar index last sat around 105.57, having lost over 0.5% in the previous session as U.S. Treasury yields tumbled. Bitcoin returned the market spotlight with the virtual currency soaring on speculation that the United States could soon approve a bitcoin exchange-traded fund. The PMI data could set the market expectations ahead of the GDP report, said Matt Simpson, senior market analyst at City Index. Traders see the 150 threshold as a possible line-in-the-sand for Japanese authorities to intervene in the currency market.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Friday he thought Hamas was motivated to attack Israel in part by a desire to stop that country from normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia. “One of the reasons ... why Hamas moved on Israel, is because they knew I was about to sit down with the Saudis,” Biden said at a campaign fundraiser. The U.S. president indicated that he thinks Hamas militants launched a deadly assault on Oct. 7 because, “Guess what? The Saudis wanted to recognize Israel” and were near being able to formally do so.

☆ How Miuccia Prada Reinvented Fashion
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-19 | by ( Nick Haramis | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +111 min

A few seasons earlier, for Miu Miu’s spring 2022 collection, Prada delivered raw-edge chino micro-miniskirts belted below the hip bone. Firstview (8); courtesy of Prada PRADA STILL resides in the Milanese apartment where she and her two older siblings, Marina and Alberto, grew up. In 1993, her days of on-the-ground protest behind her — she’d long stopped handing out flyers at rallies — Prada and Bertelli created Milano Prada Arte, which later became the Fondazione Prada. Styled by Suzanne Koller FOR THE PAST few years, Miuccia Prada hasn’t had to do quite as much all by herself. © TriStar/Everett Collection Bening and Warren Beatty in “Bugsy.” Everett Collection Bening in “American Beauty” (1999).

The lower house, the State Duma, on Wednesday passed the second and third readings of a bill that revokes Russia's ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. What is happening in the world today is the exclusive fault of the United States," parliament speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said. Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu visited Russia's testing ground in the remote northern archipelago of Novaya Zemlya in August. CNN published satellite images last month showing Russia, the United States and China have all built new facilities at their nuclear test sites in recent years. The Soviet Union last tested in 1990 and the United States in 1992.

"In the interests of ensuring the security of our country, we are withdrawing the ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty," Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said ahead of a debate and parliamentary vote on revoking ratification. While Russia is revoking ratification, it would remain a signatory and would continue to cooperate with the test ban treaty organisation and the global monitoring system, which alerts the world to any nuclear test. Post-Soviet Russia has never carried out a nuclear test. "I hear calls to start testing nuclear weapons, to return to testing," Putin said on Oct. 5. Since the CTBT, 10 nuclear tests have taken place.

☆ As the holidays approach, shoppers are in a mood to spend – on their homes and themselves
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-17 | by ( Parija Kavilanz | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

New York CNN —Spending on the holiday season is expected to rebound to – and even surpass – pre-pandemic levels this year for the first time. The year-end months of November and December typically are dominated by shoppers scouring stores for deals and discounts on seasonal merchandise, including gifts. “As many as 82% of shoppers said they plan to spend on non-gift purchases such as decorations. While gift spending is still expected to grow 9% over last year, the report said people plan to buy one fewer gift versus last year. “In terms of the allocation of holiday dollars, the biggest increase that we saw is in the non-gift group,” said Skelly.

☆ UN Aid Chief: Situation Is Gaza 'Fast Becoming Untenable'

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The humanitarian situation in Gaza, already critical, is now "fast becoming untenable," U.N. aid chief Martin Griffiths said in a statement on Saturday. The actions and rhetoric by Hamas militants and Israel in the past few days is "extremely alarming, unacceptable," Griffiths said. Even wars have rules, and these rules must be upheld, at all times, and by all sides, he said. "Civilians in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory are suffering from a week of utter anguish and devastation," Griffiths said. "The past week has been a test for humanity," he said, "and humanity is failing."

The firm's results "underscore continued pressure on industry organic growth that may last longer than currently reflected in investors’ expectations amid higher-for-longer short-term rates," analysts at Goldman Sachs wrote in a report Friday. "While we are encouraged by the firm’s sharper focus on expenses, we expect (BlackRock's) near-term organic base fee growth to remain muted." Investors are likely waiting for yields to peak before making any significant changes in their asset allocation, BlackRock said. "The long-term trend of clients consolidating more of their portfolios with BlackRock is only accelerating, and underlying business momentum remains strong," Fink said. The New York-based company's chief source of revenue is the management fees it earns as a percentage of the total AUM.

Mortgage rates spiked quite a bit last week, with 30-year mortgage rates reaching a high of 7.58%, according to Zillow data. When mortgage rates will fall largely hinges on inflation, and this week's CPI data will give us the latest look at how prices are trending. But right now, experts generally expect that inflation will continue to slow, allowing mortgage rates to trend down throughout 2024. But whether mortgage rates will drop in 2023 hinges on if the Federal Reserve can get inflation under control. This means your entire monthly mortgage payment, including taxes and insurance, shouldn't exceed 28% of your pre-tax monthly income.
