Hopefully, CSDDD Mandates Will Advance Human Rights Efforts, the Weakest Area for Japanese Companies

By Aki Matsumoto

  • Many companies have established policies on human capital but haven’t yet implemented specific measures. Solving issues related to human capital is an area in which Japanese companies lag far behind.

By Leonard Law, CFA

  • In today’s Morning Views publication we comment on developments of the following high yield issuers: China Water Affairs, Health and Happiness (H&H), Anton Oilfield, Lippo Karawaci
  • In the US, the December Conference Board leading index inched down by 0.1% (-0.1% e / 0.4% revised p) in December to 101.6. The decrease was due to “low consumer confidence about future business conditions, still relatively weak manufacturing orders, an increase in initial claims for unemployment and a decline in building permits”, according to Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager for Business Cycle Indicators at The Conference Board.
  • US President Donald Trump is considering imposing a 10% tariff on imports of Chinese goods as soon as February 1st, apparently due to fentanyl being trafficked into the US via Mexico and Canada, using chemicals from China.

GBP Depressed By Fiscal Risk Premium

By Phil Rush

  • UK government spending and deficits have attracted unwelcome attention amid falling sterling and bond prices. Yet long-term rate moves match US and short-rate shifts.

By Heteronomics AI

  • The Norges Bank kept the policy rate unchanged at 4.5%, in line with expectations, and reiterated its guidance for a potential reduction in March as inflation moderates further.
