AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Security & Diplomacy: Japan said it “strongly urged” China to reconsider a Pacific missile test after Beijing notified Tokyo in advance, with Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara saying Japan will step up surveillance and monitoring. Regional Tensions: China’s submarine-launched missile test drew criticism from Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Taiwan, which warned it could destabilize the region. Industry & Jobs: Toyota will build a new $3.6 billion auto plant in Texas and shift some Tacoma truck production from Mexico, aiming to open by 2030 and create 2,000 jobs. Markets & Currency: Hedge funds are piling into yen shorts, pushing net short positions to about 146,000 contracts as the yen hits a four-decade low. Trade & Energy: Platts set Japan’s Q3 imported aluminum premium at $395/mt CIF, the highest in a decade, as supply and pricing negotiations tightened. Tech & Society: Tokyo police arrested a 15-year-old over a cyberattack on an anime streaming service that allegedly canceled 46,000+ subscriptions. Business Expansion: Sapporo Breweries plans a Singapore JV with Carlsberg, investing about $643 million to grow beer sales across Southeast Asia and Hong Kong. Japan-Linked Global Ties: JICA chief Tanaka Akihiko wrapped up a Bangladesh visit, reaffirming support for major infrastructure and energy projects.
