February 26th - Latest supply chain information shows that after bottoming out and rebounding in the second half of 2024, mobile phone memory and storage chip prices have maintained an upward trend for several consecutive quarters, with the increase further expanding at the beginning of 2026. Multiple industry insiders confirmed that the current procurement cost of smartphone storage chips has increased by more than 80% compared to the same period last year, and there are no signs of a slowdown. Due to this cost pressure, according to channel and ODM manufacturers, several leading mobile phone brands, including OPPO, OnePlus, vivo, Xiaomi, iQOO, and Honor, are planning to launch a new round of product price adjustments in early March. This will be the largest and most significant collective price adjustment in the mobile phone industry in nearly five years.

Speaking to local business leaders in Kyoto, Takada said, "I think the central bank should further adjust its policy and conduct relevant communications to make it clear that the price stability target has been largely achieved." This was Takadas first public statement since his proposal for consecutive interest rate hikes at a policy meeting last month, which surprised Bank of Japan observers. While his call for further rate hikes on Thursday was not unexpected, it highlights the growing division between the more radical faction within the central bank pushing for policy normalization and the government. This comes after Takaichi nominated two prominent proponents of loose monetary policy to new board members.On February 26, the Supreme Peoples Court held a press conference to report on its work in punishing property crimes, strengthening the crackdown on fraud, and precisely targeting crimes involving concealment and covering up of criminal proceeds.

Following a huge upward rise from 0.8360 on Thursday, the EUR/GBP pair has subsequently turned sideways around 0.8430 in the Tokyo session. After the Bank of England (BOE) hiked interest rates by 50 basis points, the cross displayed a significant upward rise (bps) (bps). The BOE lifted interest rates by 50 basis points in succession, bringing them to 1.75 percent.

 

The investing community is aware that UK household earnings have been unsteady during the preceding few months. In addition, the economy's inflation rate is fast expanding. The inflation rate was 9.4 percent prior. The recent statement by BOE Governor Andrew Bailey that price increases might exceed 13 percent has sent shockwaves across the market.

 

The runaway inflation is now escalating, leaving the BOE with very little flexibility to tighten its monetary policy. The BOE is in poor shape as a result of the dismal economic data and the continuing political upheaval following the departure of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. A recession in the UK economy is extremely probable in the case that the inflation rate is close to 13 percent.

 

German manufacturing order numbers for the Eurozone have decreased by 0.4 percent against an anticipated 0.8 percent decline and a prior monthly contraction of 0.2 percent. Falling orders from factories indicate sluggish demand in Germany as a whole. It is vital to remember that Germany is a key element of the European Union (EU), and that economic data from Germany has a huge effect on people who favor the common currency.
