Shares of chipmaker Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) fell sharply in after-hours trading on Thursday after the company reported earnings and issued disappointing first-quarter guidance . The move comes after Intel's stock has soared recently, setting a high bar going into the report. Unfortunately, the company didn't meet this bar when it reported its fourth-quarter results. In fact, Intel's own outlook made the near-term issue hard to miss: supply. In its update on Thursday, management specifically called out supply challenges it expects in Q1, noting that supply shortages will negatively impact results. Continue reading

The yen is unlikely to stanch its recent weakness after the Bank of Japan held rates as expected, according to strategists. The currency extended losses, falling as much as 0.2% to 158.74 to the dollar, after the BOJ kept its benchmark rate steady at the highest level in three decades.

The yen is unlikely to stanch its recent weakness after the Bank of Japan held rates as expected, according to strategists. The currency extended losses, falling as much as 0.2% to 158.74 to the dollar, after the BOJ kept its benchmark rate steady at the highest level in three decades. The central bank is monitoring the impact of last month’s hike on the economy. Here’s what strategists are saying: Hiromi Ishihara , head of equity investment at Amundi Japan Ltd.: The market is actually suggesting that the current interest rate could be too low against the inflation that we have. In the short term, we expect the Japanese yen could weaken further, but we also expect maybe some intervention from the government. So I don’t expect a disorderly selloff in the Japanese yen, but I also don’t expect yen appreciation in the short-term. Yujiro Goto , Nomura Securities FX strategist The Bank of Japan’s Monetary Policy Meeting communicated in a way intended to signal awareness of an April rate hike. Before this meeting, the market had fully priced in rate hikes through July. While hawkish, pressure for yen depreciation simmers ahead of the press conference. Eugenia Fabon Victorino , head of Asia strategy at SEB: Economic projections are more optimistic than the one presented last October. The BOJ also took out the “high uncertainties … from the impact of trade.” This strengthens our view of continued tightening by the BOJ in 2026. Yet, we would watch closely the presser later today whether Ueda will give an indication of a faster pace of tightening this year. For now, we expect the next hike to occur in July. Historically, Ueda fails to provide guidance hawkish enough for the market. As long as fiscal worries dominate, Ueda is unlikely to prevent bids for USD/JPY from accumulating. Naomi Muguruma , chief bond strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities: The market is anticipating an April rate hike due to Board Member Takada’s advocacy for raising rates and the assess...

Sundance film festival: an often lushly made yet frustratingly undercooked small town indie kicks off this year’s festival with disappointment And so this year’s Sundance has officially begun, with grief over the loss of founder Robert Redford and its move from long-running home Park City likely to drown out the sounds of anyone talking about the first narrative premiere. It wouldn’t be the first time it has started with a whimper (unofficial opening day films have previously included misfires like After the Wedding, Freaky Tales, Netflix’s Taylor Swift doc and last year’s Jimpa) but there’s something specifically disappointing about a film such as Carousel showing at a festival such as Sundance. It’s the sort of small, character-driven American indie that has served as the festival’s lifeblood for almost 50 years and, as the system has expanded in some ways and shrunk in others, the sort that has often struggled to make it far out of Park City. Back in 2023, a quiet, disarming and perfectly Sundance film called A Little Prayer premiered yet didn’t get released until late last summer and was seen by a precious few. The world is not kind to films like Carousel at this very moment and while I would love to see this particular subgenre flourish in the way it used to back in the 90s and 00s, it’s hard to muster up much in the way of strong feelings here. Carousel is screening at the Sundance film festival and is seeking distribution Continue reading...
