Japan Proposes Tesla Invest in Nissan After Failed Honda Merger Talks

After its unsuccessful merger negotiations with Honda, a highlevel Japanese group, including former Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, suggested that Tesla invest in Nissan. There is conjecture that Tesla may buy Nissans U.S. plants in the face of possible auto tariffs from the Trump administration. The proposal, spearheaded by former Tesla board member Hiromichi Mizuno, is resisted because Tesla favours its specially built plants. Sugas office was unaware of the concept, and Mizuno denied involvement. Foxconn is promoting a fourway partnership with Honda, Nissan, and Mitsubishi to compete with Chinese EV manufacturers and Tesla. After the reports, Nissans stock jumped 9.6%, but neither Tesla nor Apple would respond, raising doubts about the viability of these relationship and investment ambitions. Read More..

Central Bank of Botswana Maintains Policy Rate at 1.90% for Third Straight Meeting

As inflation increased from 1.7% in December to 2.5% in January, Botswanas central bank maintained its policy rate at 1.90% for the third consecutive

As inflation increased from 1.7% in December to 2.5% in January, Botswanas central bank maintained its policy rate at 1.90% for the third consecutive meeting. However, it was still below its 3% to 6% goal range. Due to sluggish international demand, the nations economy, primarily dependent on diamond exports, shrank last year. However, the government anticipates a recovery in 2025, bolstered by advancements in other areas and a revival in the diamond market.

The cryptocurrency market was rocked after Argentine President Javier Milei pushed the Libra memecoin, saying it could boost the countrys economy. Because of rugpull speculation, Libras price crashed by 95% after soaring 3,000% in a few hours to achieve a $4.5 billion market value.
