China’s sweeping overhaul of insurance accounting is making balance sheets clearer, but also more volatile. A 2026 deadline has taken effect requiring insurers to adopt new international standards , aimed at giving investors and regulators a clearer view of financial health. But the transition has proved disruptive, with some companies reporting sharp swings in profits and net assets while still producing financial statements under legacy rules.

Most Japanese people oppose sending warships to the Middle East in response to the war on Iran , according to two polls conducted over the weekend amid continued US pressure on allies to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. In a Yomiuri newspaper survey, 67 per cent voiced opposition to sending the nation’s Self-Defence Forces to the region, while an ANN poll showed 52 per cent against their deployment. The polls also showed elevated approval ratings for Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi ’s cabinet, at 71 per cent and 65.2 per cent respectively, with a comfortable majority positively evaluating the outcome of Takaichi’s talks with US President Donald Trump on Thursday. Advertisement Takaichi avoided a showdown with Trump over Japan ’s support for securing the strait, but the president continued to pressure Tokyo to do its part. Most of the East Asian nation’s oil imports depend on the waterway, which has been effectively blocked. Trump and Takaichi talk in the Oval Office of the White House on Saturday.

Still, Japan’s Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi indicated at the weekend that the sending of minesweepers after a ceasefire could be considered.
格隆汇3月23日｜NLI Research Institute经济学家Tsuyoshi Ueno表示，短期内日本10年期国债收益率仍有进一步上升的空间，但主要的预测情况是，春季期间油价将趋于稳定，从而缓解通胀担忧。“即便如此，有关日本央行加息以及央行减少购买国债的猜测仍可能持续存在。因此，我们预计在三个月的时间范围内，收益率相对于当前水平将基本保持平稳。”他说道。在一种风险情景中，如果长期的敌对状...

When the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Ripple in 2020, alleging that XRP (XRP 1.56%) was an unregistered security, the coin's aspirations of being adopted by financial institutions were one step away from falling through a legal trapdoor. Even after the lawsuit was resolved in Ripple's favor in 2025, regulatory clarity remained incomplete. That changed on March 17, when the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) published a new regulatory plan classifying XRP as a "digital commodity" alongside most other leading cryptocurrencies. Now, XRP enjoys a place in a clean framework that its target users will feel comfortable engaging with. The coin is currently priced at $1.44, but $3 is now firmly back on the table. Here's why. What the new classification unlocks After the SEC's lawsuit was settled, the outcome was that XRP was not to be considered a security in the eyes of the law. That's important because securities are subject to SEC registration requirements and disclosure rules, not to mention requirements governing how management may communicate with investors. But for risk-averse actors like financial institutions, which are XRP's target users, a lack of a certain classification for an asset is not the same as having a clear classification in hand. XRP now has that clear classification as a digital commodity. Commodities, overseen by the CFTC, receive lighter oversight than securities. In short, the SEC and CFTC both agreed that XRP's value derives from its network's operations and supply-and-demand dynamics.

New York’s LaGuardia airport was closed to flights early on Monday after an Air Canada flight and Port Authority vehicle collided. The New York police department confirmed the collision but could not immediately offer further information. The update came after flight tracking website FlightRadar24 said in post on X late on Monday that an Air Canada Express plane had collided with a ground vehicle at the airport. Earlier, the fire department “responded to a reported incident involving a plane and vehicle on runway,” a spokesperson told AFP but did not specify the nature of the incident. New York’s emergency management authority warned people to “expect cancellations, road closures, traffic delays and emergency personnel” near the major transport hub in the borough of Queens. “Use alternate routes,” it said on X. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a ground stop for all planes at the airport, according to a notice from the regulator. The FAA notice showed that the reason for the halt at the airport was an emergency and there was a high probability of an extension, without specifying any details. In a separate notice, the FAA said the airport could be shut until 2pm local time (1800 GMT). More details soon … This is a developing story…
