世界銀行：黎巴嫩經濟預計在2026年收縮6.4%。

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said economic growth will entail some inf; Japan’s inf rate is the lowest in the G7, partly reflecting government measures.

Japan's Nikkei index slipped 0.3% by Friday midday and is on track for about a 4% weekly decline, its largest weekly fall since the week ending July 17, as uncertainty around the Middle East conflict pushed oil higher and heightened inflation concerns. The broader TOPIX fell 0.1% and is set for a roughly 3.4% weekly drop. Nomura strategist Maki Sawada said profit-taking is likely into the weekend as oil and bond yields rise amid Middle East uncertainty.
