Greg Abel, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, BRK.B), said rising Japanese bond yields have not affected the major trading firms in which the company holds stakes. He noted Japan’s 10-year government bond yield hit a 30-year high this week but, “no trading firm sees this as a fundamental challenge,” adding yields “remain relatively mild in absolute terms” and are still low versus global peers. Abel said he still expects Berkshire would consider issuing yen‑denominated debt when appropriate.

The State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) held an enforcement and inspection meeting in Baotou on tackling “ghost takeout” illegal activity. SAMR deputy director Bai Qingyuan directed targeted H2 supervision of key sectors and strict implementation of central directives, prioritizing remedies for involution-style competition. The agency said it will use the Protect Consumption campaign to crack down on illegal activity in food, electric bicycles and metrology, deepen the special cleanup of “ghost takeout,” coordinate anti-organized-crime, telecom-fraud and anti-counterfeiting/commercial-extortion efforts, and strengthen cross-department coordination and links between administrative enforcement and criminal prosecution.
