In this post: The value of the Japanese yen is declining. As of December 14, 2024, it has lost six days in a row versus the US dollar, dropping to 153.48 per dollar. This is the yen’s longest losing run since June and its weakest week in more than two months. At its meeting on December 18–19, the market is placing strong bets that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will maintain its ultra-loose monetary policy, opting for stability over rate hikes. Japan’s monetary policy is turning into a risky move. October’s record-breaking salary increases—the greatest in 32 years—are driving inflation over the BoJ’s 2% objective. However, the BoJ appears cautious, even hesitant, rather than taking a daring step to tighten policy. It doesn’t impress traders. The yen has been dumped in favor of the stronger dollar, pushed higher by US Treasury yields and a Federal Reserve that isn’t afraid to flex its muscles. BoJ’s caution fuels yen selloff The BoJ’s hesitation is clear. Inflation is rising, wages are climbing, but rates? They’re stuck. October’s […]

The acquisition is being considered by the worldwide entertainment giant as a way to strengthen its already strong portfolio. The gaming and anime sectors are anticipated to be significantly impacted by Kodokawa’s takeover.The international corporation Sony was founded in the 1940s and has since grown and changed to focus on areas other than consumer electronics. With the development of PlayStation systems and movies, the corporation has diversified into gaming and entertainment.In the same vein, Sony has lately made acquisitions in an effort to broaden its product line and strengthen its position in the entertainment and gaming industries. Sony looks at Kadokawa, the parent firm of From Software Sony has been considering a possible acquisition of the Japanese media group Kadokawa, as first reported by Reuters. Before Sony acknowledged the announcement, there were rumors that the business would be in negotiations to help with the Kadokawa acquisition. When a Japanese news website, Weekly Bunshun, published the Japanese employee’s opinions about the likely takeover, the initial rumors were further cemented. Kadokawa is well known for its contributions to the video gaming, publishing, and film industries.From Software, the publisher of the video games Souls and Elden Ring, is owned by the Japanese conglomerate. Kadokawa owns several intellectual assets and is also well-known in the animation community. The company’s broad collection of manga and anime made it a major force. Its popularity and financial success have increased as a result of several Kadokawa anime adaptations, including Oshi no Ko. The Japanese corporation has significant influence over the worldwide anime market since it has also expanded its animerelated operations, including production finance and marketing.The acquisition of Kadokawa is thought to have profound effects on the gaming and animation industries. Sony is anticipated to follow the example followed by other big businesses, such as Microsoft, which in 2023 paid $68.7 billion to purchase Activision-Blizzard. It is anticipated that the planned agreement will strengthen Sony’s control over the Japanese market and other emerging markets. The entertainment company currently owns Crunchyroll and Funimation, and the deal would give it more IPs, establishing it as an anime powerhouse with global reach. Sony’s potential acquisition causes […]
