AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Markets & Energy Shock: Japan’s bond rout deepened as oil fears tied to the Iran conflict pushed yields to multi-decade highs, with the 30-year rate jumping the most since 1999 and traders watching for possible yen support. Budget Pressure: PM Sanae Takaichi said her government will consider a supplementary budget for FY2026 to cushion the oil-price hit. Currency Watch: Reports say Tokyo may step up intervention with US backing after earlier spending of about JPY10 trillion failed to fully calm the yen. Health & Pharma: Japan approved GSK’s Arexvy RSV vaccine for more at-risk adults, expanding access beyond seniors. Culture & Media: Junji Ito’s “The Long Hair in the Attic” is getting a live-action film adaptation, with production set to ramp up after development. Everyday Japan: A rise in “ghost houses” keeps spreading as population decline and inheritance issues leave millions of homes empty. Zoo Security: Two Americans were arrested after allegedly breaking into Ichikawa Zoo’s Punch macaque enclosure, prompting security upgrades.
