Building wealth gets most of the attention, but keeping it is where many people quietly fail.

Clowns in Bolivia have been upset by a new school mandate that cuts off the events from which they earn a living Dozens of clowns marched through the streets of Bolivia’s capital on Monday to protest against a government decree that limits extracurricular activities in schools, threatening their livelihoods. Wearing full face paint and their signature red noses, the clowns gathered in front of the ministry of education in La Paz to oppose a decree published in February. The new mandate says schools must comply with 200 days of lessons each year – in effect banning schools from hosting the special events where the entertainers are frequently employed.

As Japanese combat troops prepare to join war games in the Philippines next month – their first return to Philippine soil since 1945 – some Filipinos say the real issue is not only what Japan is doing now, but what it still has not fully reckoned with from the past.

As Japanese combat troops prepare to join war games in the Philippines next month – their first return to Philippine soil since 1945 – some Filipinos say the real issue is not only what Japan is doing now, but what it still has not fully reckoned with from the past. For survivors, activists and historians, Tokyo’s expanding security role in the Philippines has revived what one campaigner called “the elephant in the room” – the absence, in their view, of a formal state apology and official...

Chinese stocks are emerging as one of the best markets to ride out the Iran war, with their outperformance against global peers on track for the strongest since August 2025. Since the conflict broke out in late February, surging oil prices have hit energy-importing economies hardest, dragging equity benchmarks in South Korea, Japan and India down more than 10%. China, despite being the largest importer, has proved more resilient , with its gauge falling 4.6% over the same period. As the war shows signs of escalating , the moves suggest Chinese equities may become an increasingly attractive safe haven, thanks to its strength in renewable energy, easing deflation and still-attractive valuations. A growing number of global banks have turned more upbeat, with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. recommended building strategic exposure at current levels while saying the market is better placed than most to withstand oil shocks. “China A-shares could get more strategic preference compared to the rest of the markets given its increasing stability and resilience in economic policy,” said Anna Wu , a cross-asset strategist at VanEck Associates Corp. The divergence has been mirrored across asset classes. The yuan slipped about 0.7% against the dollar since the war, but still outperformed most major Asian currencies even as a gauge of the greenback gained about 3%. Chinese government bonds also held firm, with the 10-year yield little changed, compared with the sharp increases seen in US, German and French yields. Even before the war, China’s prospects have been improving. Advances in artificial intelligence, a steadier approach to managing US trade tensions, as well as a retreat from regulatory crackdowns have helped rebuild investor confidence. Equities continue to trade at around a 20% discount to the MSCI World Index on earnings-based measures. After a multiyear period of structural underweight, positioning among active long-only funds has normalized and reached benchmark-neutral leve...

Five years ago, almost no accident and health insurance claims at Ping An Insurance Group ran without humans. Today, nearly 60% are automated, with some settled in just 51 seconds. The leap shows Ping An’s push into artificial intelligence, after a decade of investment worth billions of yuan. Now, senior executives are counting on it to transform the share price, too. They are leveraging AI to double the firm’s price-to-book ratio over the next few years, according to people familiar with the management’s thinking. Provided net assets remain unchanged, that would add about $174 billion to the market value of China’s largest non state-owned insurer. Investors remain unconvinced. Ping An’s Hong Kong-listed shares still trade 38% below their peak, and their 9.59% drop this year is worse than the wider market slump. But executives at the Shenzhen-based firm, which has 250 million customers and about 20,000 engineers, think the time is ripe for its yearslong bet on AI to finally show up in its share price. Read More: Ping An Profits Rise as Booming Stock Market Reaps Dividends “The AI era successfully opened the window for reshaping services,” Chief Technology Officer Ray Wang said in an interview. “The returns on investment are tangible, highly visible, and unequivocally compelling.” At the core of the plan is a gateway linking Ping An’s 500 services across banking, insurance and health care. Set to roll out in early April, it’s backed by AI agents that automate underwriting and claims while boosting cross‑selling. Cost Cuts Ping An’s AI bet is already showing up in lower costs. Its auto insurance expense ratio dropped by 1.7 percentage points over nine years. That translates into about 5 billion yuan ($724 billion) of underwriting profit growth for the segment in the same period. In addition, Ping An’s systems have been trained to recognize dozens of Chinese dialects, allowing AI to process insurance claims with minimal human intervention. These bots can even make loan...

This month’s surge in Asian bond yields has triggered an increase in debt buying across the region, as governments seek to limit the spillover from higher energy prices to local borrowing costs. Governments and central banks from South Korea to India and Indonesia are plowing funds into their bond markets to try to cap yields that have already risen to multi-year highs. Yields have been climbing on concern local economies will suffer from higher oil costs as they are net energy importers. Korea’s government announced last week it would buy a combined 5 trillion won ($3.3 billion) of sovereign bonds over two trading days, while the Reserve Bank of India said it’s purchasing 1 trillion rupees ($10.6 billion) of debt from the open market this month. Bank Indonesia has signaled continued intervention in government bonds. “Official bond purchases are better seen as efforts to limit disorderly moves,” as markets price in more persistent spillovers from higher oil prices and supply chain disruptions, said Fesa Wibawa , an investment manager at Aberdeen in Singapore. “We wouldn’t rule out further interventions across Asia, especially if pockets of market stress emerge and the authorities judge that they have sufficient policy space to respond,” he said. Bond yields have been marching higher across the region as the outbreak of the Iran war on Feb. 28 sent oil prices soaring. The Philippine 10-year yield has surged more than one percentage point in March, while Korea’s has risen by almost 50 basis points and Indonesia’s has climbed more than 40 basis points. In addition to its emergency bond buyback, the Korean government also announced plans to redeem outstanding debt using surplus tax revenues. That followed the Bank of Korea’s decision earlier this month to purchase up to 3 trillion won of treasury bonds to counter increased yield volatility. The Korean government’s measures “will be effective in stabilizing the won rates market sentiment” ahead of the inclusion of the na...
