AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Japan Economy: Japan’s Q2 growth came in weaker than expected (0.3% quarter-on-quarter; 1.1% annualized), with consumption flat and capital spending down—pushing up pressure on the yen and complicating Bank of Japan rate-hike timing. Markets & FX: The 10-year JGB yield jumped to a 30-year high near 3% as investors bet inflation and currency weakness will force earlier tightening. Defense Tech: Japan is considering U.S.-developed AI for SDF command-and-control, while Rakuten partners with German drone maker Helsing for Ground Self-Defense Force trials through September. Air Force Upgrade: Japan signed new F-15J modernization contracts to the JSI standard under the U.S. FMS program. WWII Memory Row: China condemned Japan’s Yasukuni Shrine offerings and visits on the 81st anniversary of WWII surrender, warning it whitewashes aggression and accelerates remilitarization. Disaster Watch: Record rains in Chiba have left multiple people dead and thousands stranded, with quake and flood recovery still in focus. Human Rights Claim: A Japanese scholar told Xinhua about new findings on alleged WWII malaria experiments involving Japanese military doctors. Sports & Culture: SB19 added a Japan collaboration moment at Summer Sonic, while Princess Aiko offered condolences for Kumamoto and Chiba disaster victims.
