The governor of the Bank of Japans Osaka branch said that whether consumer prices will rise will depend on the strength of demand, but a significant increase in prices is expected in the future.The Bank of Japan Osaka branch governor said: "The cost transmission of prices between companies is progressing rapidly and may affect consumer prices starting in the summer. Therefore, we need to pay close attention to its impact on consumption."The governor of the Bank of Japans Osaka branch said that many companies in the region expect profits to remain robust, but they will need to continuously raise wages to attract talent and address the labor shortage.The Bank of Japans Osaka branch governor said: "A weaker yen is good for export companies, but it also increases input costs, so it is difficult to assess the overall impact on the regional economy."On July 9th, Morgan Stanley lowered its target price for Alibaba (BABA.N) US-listed shares by 5% to $180 from $190, reiterating its "overweight" rating and "top pick" view. Morgan Stanley noted that the recent share price pullback makes the current valuation attractive, equivalent to 13 times the 2028 fiscal year price-to-earnings ratio; the latest target price, derived using the discounted cash flow method, corresponds to 23 times the 2028 fiscal year price-to-earnings ratio. Morgan Stanley also noted that due to increased contributions from cloud services, it raised its revenue forecasts for fiscal years 2027 and 2028 by 2-3%, but this was partially offset by lower revenue from e-commerce. EBITA forecasts remained largely unchanged. Morgan Stanley expects Alibabas cloud business to accelerate to 45% year-on-year growth in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 (ending June 30th), and believes that cloud business growth will continue to accelerate in the coming quarters. Excluding some one-off Lunar New Year promotional expenses, Morgan Stanley expects Alibabas all other losses to narrow to RMB 16.5 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027. As token prices surge, costs associated with training the Qianwen model are expected to remain substantial. All other losses for FY27 are projected to reach RMB 72 billion.

Voyager Digital Holdings Inc., a cryptocurrency company, has been granted permission by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York to restore $270 million in client funds, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.


Voyager Digital Holdings Inc., a cryptocurrency company, has been granted permission by the US Bankruptcy Court in New York to restore $270 million in client funds, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.


According to the Journal, Judge Michael Wiles, who is in charge of Voyager's bankruptcy, said the firm had "sufficient grounds" to back up its claim that clients should be given access to the custodial account kept at Metropolitan Commercial Bank.


The business did not immediately respond to requests for comment.


Voyager, one of several businesses that struggled after the widespread turbulence on the cryptocurrency market, filed for Chapter 11 last month.


Voyager reported that it had between $1 billion and $10 billion in assets and liabilities, as well as over 100,000 creditors, in its bankruptcy case.


The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) issued an injunction to the firm last week directing it to stop making "false and misleading" promises about the government's protection of its clients' cash.


The firm only had a bank account at Metropolitan Commercial Bank, according to the authorities, and none of the investors using its platform were covered by the FDIC.


During the COVID-19 epidemic, cryptocurrency lenders like Voyager saw a surge in business, luring depositors with high interest rates and convenient access to loans that conventional banks seldom ever gave. Lenders have suffered from the recent decline in cryptocurrency markets, which was brought on by the failure of two significant tokens in May.
