According to updated estimates, Japans economy expanded by 2.9% annually in Q2 2024 instead of 3.1%, the first announced rate. The revised estimate indicates a more uncertain economic picture for the years second half, primarily due to lower business and consumer expenditure. The preliminary 0.8% growth rate was reduced to 0.7% quarteroverquarter. Capital spending and private consumption were both revised lower. Though they caution against prospective slowdowns brought on by outside causes, such as potential slowdowns in the US and China, analysts predict a steady economic rebound. A probable rate rise by December challenges the Bank of Japan as it works to normalise its monetary policy while navigating these dynamics. Read More..

During the ChinaAfrica Cooperation Summit in Beijing, UN SecretaryGeneral Antonio Guterres cautioned that societal unrest might result from Africas debt issue, calling it "unsustainable."

Britain Needs £1 Trillion Investment Over Decade to Boost Economic Growth, Taskforce Reports

As per the Capital Markets Industry Taskforce, a further £1 trillion $1.3 trillion in investment is required in Britain over the next ten years to su

As per the Capital Markets Industry Taskforce, a further £1 trillion $1.3 trillion in investment is required in Britain over the next ten years to support economic development. The UK has struggled to achieve a 2.5% annual growth rate since before the financial crisis of 2008. The yearly cost of £100 billion is primarily due to housing, energy, and venture capital. Nigel Wilson, the former CEO of Legal & General, proposes using the £6 trillion insurance and pensions market in the UK to provide this cash. Additionally, the research suggests tax breaks for individual investors. A different study also revealed that UK pensions should invest twice as much in domestic and unlisted stocks to keep up with international norms. Read More..

Indias SEBI to Introduce Stricter Derivatives Trading Rules to Curb Speculation

Stricter regulations on derivatives trading are about to be implemented by Indias Securities and Exchange Board SEBI to reduce ordinary investors spec

Stricter regulations on derivatives trading are about to be implemented by Indias Securities and Exchange Board SEBI to reduce ordinary investors speculative activity. The minimum trading amount will be virtually tripled, and options contract expirations will be limited to one per weekly exchange under the new restrictions. Responding to resistance from traders and brokers, SEBI intends to revisit previous recommendations, including raising margin requirements and tracking intraday positions. Concerns over the rapidly increasing number of derivative trades—which hit a recordbreaking ₹10,923 trillion $130.13 trillion in August—are behind the decision. After seeing a sharp increase in the percentage of individual investors in index options—from 2% to 41%—SEBI took action to safeguard small investors and maintain market stability. Later this month, the final rules should be announced. Read More..

ConnectOne Bancorp Announces $284 Million AllStock Acquisition of First of Long Island

Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia RBA, Michele Bullock, stressed that the main worry should be sustained inflation and that it is premature to

Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia RBA, Michele Bullock, stressed that the main worry should be sustained inflation and that it is premature to think about shortterm rate reductions. Bullock said that bringing inflation down to the 23% goal range is still the RBAs top aim in a speech in Sydney. Bullock remained hawkish in July despite the sluggish economic growth and a minor decrease in headline inflation to 3.5%. She emphasised that pressures on domestic inflation, especially in the housing and market services sectors, are still a factor in abovetarget inflation. Since last November, the RBA has maintained interest rates at 4.35% and will react suitably to economic shifts. Markets anticipate a 42% chance of a rate cut by November, but Bullock stressed that high inflation must be addressed to avoid more severe financial impacts. Read More..

The $20 billion allcash acquisition of Frontier Communications, a supplier of fibreoptic internet, has been announced by Verizon. To better compete with AT&T and TMobile, Verizon hopes to grow its user base through this move. In addition to the 37.3% premium over the closing price of the shares before the purchase reports became public, Verizon has offered $38.50 for each Frontier share. Verizon intends to restructure Frontiers $11.25 billion in debt. With the combination of Verizons 7.4 million and Frontiers 2.2 million fibre customers, Verizons fibre network will now include the Midwest, Texas, and California in addition to the Northeast and midAtlantic. The agreement would gradually expand Verizons fibre network coverage from less than 10% to around 13%, still lagging behind AT&Ts 15%, when it closes in about 18 months. Read More..

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Raises Profit Forecast Amid Surge in AI Server Demand

On Wednesday, Hewlett Packard Enterprise HPE boosted its projection for annual earnings, citing rising company expenditures in AI infrastructure and increasing demand for AI servers. Despite this, HPEs shares experienced a loss in revenue from its data analysis and conventional cloud businesses, which caused them to drop by about 3% in afterhours trading. As market expectations for AIrelated firms remain strong, the companys maintenance of its fullyear revenue projection contributed to the sharp decline. With thirdquarter server revenue up 35% to $4.3 billion, HPEs AI server business—particularly those utilising Nvidia processors—continues to thrive. The company revised its $1.85–$1.95 annual adjusted earnings per share outlook to $1.92–$1.97. HPE projects adjusted EPS of 52–57 cents per share for Q4, with revenue of $8.1–$8.4 billion, slightly above market forecasts. Read More..
