computer business: The 58-year-old, who ceded the role of chief executive officer to Kenichiro Yoshida in April 2018, will continue to advise the company after his retirement, Sony said in a statement, according to The Japan Times. Shuzo Sumi of Tokio Marine Holdings Inc. was nominated to become chairman of the board. ; Hirai, who took over as CEO from Howard Stringer in 2012, turned the company's fortunes around by paring back and refocusing its operations. Chairman Kazuo Hirai, the architect of a turnaround at the once-dominant electronics giant, will retire in June after spending more than three decades at the company. With Yoshida's support, Hirai sold off the Vaio personal computer business, reshaped the television set unit and pulled the mobile business back from a destructive fight for market share. Profits hit a record last year as he ceded the CEO role. He also invested heavily in the Play Station games business and image sensors used in smartphones, now major drivers of the firm.

housing bubble: In a new article, he warns that the economy may be on the edge of a giant wealth bubble that will collapse with possibly-dire consequences, according to The Japan Times. Steuerle is especially worried by parallels between Americans' present wealth stocks, homes and private businesses and the overvaluations of 2000 the tech bubble and of 2007 the housing bubble . Suffering was widespread. The latest is Eugene Steuerle of the Urban Institute, a liberal think tank in Washington. In the 2007-2009 Great Recession, monthly unemployment peaked at 10 percent. ; To test his theory, Steuerle compared U.S. household net worth what people own minus all they owe to the economy's annual output, gross domestic product. Americans' assets, from homes to stocks, grew roughly in tandem with the overall economy. Since 1950, the ratio has mostly remained 4-to-1 or less. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

Selling far outpaced buying from the outset of Thursday's trading, after Wall Street took a downturn Wednesday with investor sentiment chilled by a sharp drop in U.S. long-term interest rates.

stock-market peak: Oliver Jones, market economist for Capital Economics told Market Watch that while it is sometimes the case that stocks continue to deliver strong returns for many months after a yield curve inversion as they did in the lead-up to the 2007 stock-market peak it is by no means the rule, and already weakening economic data suggests that equity investors won't be so lucky this time around, according to Market Watch. We already see evidence of payroll growth slowing, retail stales beginning to weaken and less U.S. demand for imports, at the same time that we're seeing signs of a corporate earnings slowdown, Jones said, arguing that these weren't traits the economy displayed at the time of the 2006 yield curve inversion. But some analysts and economists are warning that statistical averages can be misleading, and that there is reason to believe that the latest yield curve inversion signals returns for the rest of year will be tepid at best and that the stock-market top may already be in. An inverted yield curve is a situation where short-term interest rates sit at or above long-term rates, a dynamic in the government-debt market that can be a precursor to an impending recession, as it indicates investors believe that growth will be weak. Read The yield curve inverted here are 5 things investors need to know Capital Economics Caption outside of wrapper for normal article images Jones noted that over the past seven instances when the yield curve inverted, three of those instances saw the S&P 500 index SPX, 0.67% peak before the onset of a recession see table above . He predicts that this time around, the market will behave as it did in 1973, when the market peaked six months before the yield curve inversion. On Friday, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note TMUBMUSD10Y, 0.00% fell below the yield on the 3-month T-bill TMUBMUSD03M, 0.00% An inversion of the 10-year/3-month curve is the most reliable indicator of potential recession, according to researchers at the San Francisco Fed, having preceded the past seven such downturns.

water: The outages have knocked out water pumps and forced some Caracas residents to spend hours searching for bottled water in the few shops that are open or to fill up containers at springs in the city's hills, according to Nine News Australia.

Yesterday, a new disruption to the power grid left 91 per cent of the country offline, reversing a partial recovery since the start of the latest nationwide blackouts, according to Netblocks, a group that monitors internet censorship.

product: The increase in the gross domestic product, the economy's total output of goods and services, was revised down from an initial estimate of 2.6 per cent growth in the fourth quarter, the Commerce Department reported Thursday, according to The Toronto Star. The change reflected weakness in a number of areas. There are concerns that growth has slowed even more in the first quarter this year as global weakness, fading government stimulus and rising trade tensions take a toll on the economy. Consumer spending, business investment, government spending and housing all came in lower than first thought. On Thursday, March 28, the Commerce Department issues the final estimate of how the U.S. economy performed in the October-December quarter.

tax cuts: Treasurer Josh Frydenberg is expected to have billions of extra dollars to play with thanks to rosy commodity prices and has plenty to gain from using some of the cash to woo voters, weeks out from an election, according to Nine News Australia. The most popular theory is that Scott Morrison's government will bring forward tax cuts it has already legislated, helping workers keep at least a little more of their pay after a long stretch of slow wages growth. To improve your experience update it here News National Looming vote to spur people-pleaser budget By AAP9 30am Mar 29, is scarcely a soul expecting next week's federal budget to bear much bad news for Australians. The prime minister has hinted revised tax cuts could be on the cards.

utilities: Shares in United Utilities, water supplier in Liverpool, where Fairbairn spoke, slipped 2%. Fans of nationalisation will dismiss Fairbairn's plea for Labour to work with business, and not against it as laughably limp, according to The Guardian. A last-ditch attempt to protect the interests of a narrow group of wealthy shareholders, said Peter Dowd, shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, giving fair warning that a meeting of minds is not on the cards. Amid the Brexit pantomime, investors were studying the odds on an imminent general election and the chances of a Labour administration enacting its plans to take the energy networks, water companies, Royal Mail and the rail operators into national ownership. Let's swerve around that ideological chasm and instead ask the financial questions. On water, the shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, has said parliament will decide the level of compensation and has cited the nationalisation of Northern Rock as a precedent, an argument that heroically ignores the fact the bank was bust whereas the water companies are not. How much would Labour pay for the assets How would it deal with the inevitable legal challenges if the price is less than market value Answers so far have been vague. (news.financializer.com).

ftse stock: There's been no colossal change in Inmarsat's outlook since then, according to The Independent. But the board's view of the business is now taking second place to the need to give long-suffering shareholders a way out. A consortium of buyout firms and pension funds agreed on Monday to buy Inmarsat Plc for 3.4 billion, nine months after the board of the U.K. satellite group rejected a comparably priced offer from billionaire Charlie Ergen as too cheap. Inmarsat used to be a FTSE 100 stock, paying reliable dividends. Cash is going out of the business, but not to shareholders. More recently it has been plowing money into upgrading its maritime networks to broadband and providing high-speed internet for airplane passengers. (news.financializer.com).

gop party: The president vowed on Tuesday to make the GOP the party of health care and told Senate Republicans to lean into their own agenda on the issue as they head into next year's election. ; The moves could help Trump rally his conservative base as he celebrates Attorney General William Barr's summary of special counsel Robert Mueller's report that said there was no evidence that the president or his associates colluded with Russia in the 2016 campaign, according to The Japan Times. But the push also poured political kerosene on an issue that many Democrats credit with powering their midterm election victories in November. Trump's administration is asking a federal appeals court to strike down the entire health care law. Top Democrats, including presidential candidates, said health care is an issue that resonates with voters more than the Mueller investigation. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, a White House hopeful.

gaming service: Facebook is edging into Amazon's e-commerce sphere by enabling users to make purchases within Instagram, according to The Japan Times. Google, which has already challenged Amazon and Microsoft in cloud computing, is launching an online game service that could undercut the lucrative game-console businesses of Microsoft and Sony. ; Apple, which is also launching a gaming service and introducing its own credit card, may be veering the most outside its comfort zone, technology industry analyst Rob Enderle said. Apple is taking on Netflix by launching a subscription TV service with its own original shows. This is an awful lot of breadth really quickly for a company that hasn't been known for being great at breadth, Enderle said. Before, when the company's product suite grew too varied, what Steve Jobs did with Apple was, he made the company focus, Enderle said. This is much more diversity than Apple's ever had.

insurance business: The agreement gives the combined company 22 million members across the U.S. and combined 2019 revenue of 97 billion - and bigger scale to compete with the likes of CVS Health's Aetna health insurance business.CVS in late November officially signed off on its 69 billion mega-merger with healthcare giant Aetna, which combined CVS's pharmacies with Aetna's insurance business and also put CVS near the front of the pack in terms of pharmacy and prescription benefits, according to The Independent. Centene and Well Care's announcement could potentially affect CVS's position, since the combined companies will directly complete with similar offerings. Centene CNC and Well Care WCG on Wednesday announced they were combining forces in a deal valued at approximately 17.3 billion. To be sure, CVS has its sights on other opportunities in the health care space. We feel that we've got the business stabilized and it'll grow from this point forward. The real growth opportunity in that space is in the assisted and the independent living space, CEO Larry J. Merlo said in an interview with The Street's Jim Cramer on CNBC earlier this week.

opposition party: Sophea's 30-minute speech mentioned everything from special economic zones to Japanese Official Development Assistance ODA . ; But Cambodia's major crackdown on dissent and its ban on the main opposition party before last year's election were not on his agenda, according to The Japan Times. When questioned by Human Rights Watch about whether the Cambodian government has concrete strategies to ensure rights protections for the Cambodian people amid a growing number of foreign investments and development projects, Sophea dodged the question. Cambodia is not mini-China, come visit Sophea said at the Cambodian Investment Forum on March 5. I'm sorry to say, but we're in a business seminar, Sophea said, apparently not concerned that illegal land confiscation for business projects and the abuse of workers are among the country's biggest rights problems. Now, with China surpassing Japan in both areas, the Japanese government appears willing to throw its principles out the window to compete with China for Hun Sen's affections. Japan has been important to Cambodia, for decades its largest aid donor and one of its largest foreign investors. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

business year: Analysts said risk aversion eased somewhat after a slide in Wall Street paused overnight, but concerns about a U.S. recession lingered, according to The Japan Times. On Monday, benchmark 10-year Treasury yields fell to their lowest levels since December 2017, while the yield curve between three-month bills and 10-year notes inverted further as investors continued to assess last week's dovish pivot by the U.S. Federal Reserve. With the end of the business year looming this Sunday for the majority of listed Japanese companies, the market was also underpinned by investor purchases of stocks before they went ex-dividend later in the day. ; The Nikkei ended 2.15 percent higher at 21,428.39 after recording its biggest drop since late December on Monday. An inverted yield curve is widely seen as a signal of a recession. But in the longer term, investors are concerned about Japan-specific problems such as the yen's level, which has been trading at a higher level against the dollar than last year.
