Peach Aviation to launch Okinawa-Bangkok route www3.nhk.or.jp

 
Peach Aviation is set to become the first Japanese budget airline to have regular flights to Bangkok. A new route will connect Naha in Okinawa with the Thai capital from next month.
 
Peach began operating 5 years ago. It currently has routes between Japan and 6 cities overseas, including Shanghai and Hong Kong.
 
Flights between Naha Airport and Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi start taking off from February 19th.
 
Peach Aviation's 180-seat Airbus A-320 will make one round trip between the 2 cities daily.
 
Japan is a popular travel destination for Thai people. Over 800,000 of them visited from January to November last year.
Shinichi Inoue, Representative Director and CEO of Peach Aviation, said the airline chose Bangkok because the demand for travel to Japan has been increasing rapidly in Thailand.
 
Inoue added that since Bangkok is located near the center of Southeast Asia, he's hoping tourists from neighboring countries will also use the route.

Takata shares rise on US airbag settlement reports www.bbc.com

 
Shares of Japanese airbag manufacturer Takata have risen on reports it will settle a lawsuit with US regulators.
The firm is expected to pay up to $1bn (£822m) and plead guilty to criminal wrongdoing over faulty airbags, which have been linked to the more than a dozen deaths globally.
Most major carmakers have been affected by the fault, with around 100 million Takata airbags recalled globally.
Takata shares rose more than 16% in early Tokyo trading.
Restructuring plan
Takata has acknowledged some of its airbag inflators exploded with too much force and sprayed metal shrapnel into the car.
The fault has been linked to the loss of at least a dozen deaths and more than 100 injuries.
Takata has not disclosed the total cost of the global recall, but there have been multiple reports it is working on a restructuring deal and potential bankruptcy protection.
The outgoing US administration is keen to clear several of its major investigations before President Barack Obama leaves office.
US authorities have announced several large settlements involving in recent days, including against Volkswagen and Fiat Chrysler.

Iran welcomes Airbus as first post-sanctions airliner www.bbc.com

 
Iran has taken delivery of its first Western-built passenger plane in decades, following the lifting of sanctions last year.
The Airbus A321 landed in Tehran to an official ceremony that included Transport Minister Abbas Akhoundi.
IranAir will eventually take possession of 100 planes from Airbus and 80 from Boeing.
World powers agreed to lift sanctions against Iran in return for its curbing of nuclear activities.
The Airbus 321 had flown from Toulouse in France and its passengers included company chief Fabrice Bregier.
Correspondents say Thursday's arrival is being seen as symbolic of Iran's emergence from decades of economic isolation.
State TV called it "a historic moment for Iran, signalling the end of the sanctions era for the country".
"This is a prelude to the delivery of other aircraft and the renovation of Iran's ageing air fleet," it added.
The IranAir fleet is among the oldest in the world, experts say, and has relied on parts being smuggled into the country to keep its planes flying.

Top fund manager likens Trump market rally to dotcom bubble www.theguardian.com

 
Britain’s best known fund manager has likened the current stock market euphoria to the dotcom bubble, even as the FTSE 100 closed at yet another record high.
 
After a volatile day’s trading, the leading index finished 1.88 points higher at 7292.37, marking the 11th consecutive day of record closes and the market’s 13th successive daily rise.
 
But Neil Woodford, who admitted his own fund’s performance in 2016 was disappointing, said the current situation reminded him of the technology bubble which reached a peak on the last day of 1999 and then burst dramatically.
 
He said : “There was a period then when fundamentals didn’t matter at all and markets just became completely momentum-orientated. There was no price that people wouldn’t pay to be positioned in technology stocks and no price that they wouldn’t sell shares that were focused on the old economy.
 
“And in a similar sort of way – maybe not to the same extreme, but in a similar way, we have seen 2016 play out like that. Valuation has become significantly less important. Indeed, arguably irrelevant in this sort of post-Trump period. Momentum has driven the share prices, not fundamentals.”
 
The FTSE 100 has been boosted by a fall in sterling since the Brexit vote, which has helped those companies which make most of their earnings overseas and has also made UK businesses cheaper for overseas investors.
 
An early rise in the pound on Thursday, as the dollar weakened, sent the index lower in early trading. The slump in the greenback, which pushed the pound up nearly 1% to $1.2316, followed disappointment that US president-elect Donald Trump had not given details of his proposed spending and tax plans to boost the economy at Wednesday’s press conference.
 
Pharmaceutical companies, hit by renewed threats by Trump to cut the prices they charge for their drugs, were among the losers, while Christmas trading statements from UK retailers proved a mixed bag.
 
But sterling lost its gains as the day progressed and was marginally lower at £1.221 by the time the London stock market closed, helping the leading index edge to its new peak.
 
In the US, the disappointment with Trump’s press conference performance and the lack of economic news from the president-elect sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 152 points to 19,802 by lunchtime. On Friday, it had come within one point of breaching the elusive 20,000 barrier.
 
Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at IG, said: “The apparent demise of the rally is being blamed on disappointment following the president-elect’s press conference, but in reality the surge was already running on air, with US markets in particular having essentially gone nowhere since mid-December. This fact was masked by the ongoing hope of Dow 20,000, but it looks like this has been scrubbed from the timetable for the next few weeks.”
 
In the eurozone, a stronger euro saw Germany’s Dax drop 1% and France’s Cac close down 0.5% with exporters among the leading fallers.

Gold price makes stab at $1,200 www.mining.com

 
Gold advanced to a six-week high on Wednesday after Donald Trump's first press conference as US president-elect sparked a sell-off in the US dollar.
 
Gold for delivery in February, the most active contract on the Comex market in New York, hit a high of $1,198.50 an ounce in early afternoon trade, up over 1% from Tuesday's close and the highest on an intra-day basis since November 28.
 
Gold is up more than $70 an ounce since hitting post-US election lows mid-December, but remains down some $140 from an initial but brief surge on election night as results showed a likely victory for Trump.
 
A pillar of president-elect Trump's economic plan is fiscal stimulus in the form of tax cuts and $500 billion-plus of infrastructure spending.
 
Gold bears have been making big bets that a Trump administration will lead to strong US economic expansion, higher interest rates and a stronger dollar. Higher interest rates boosts the value of the dollar and makes gold less attractive as an investment because the metal is not yield-producing and investors have to rely on price appreciation for returns.
 
But Trump offered nothing new on Wednesday and while the dollar was moving higher ahead of the presser, the currency fell soon after reports MarketWatch:
 
“Investors were hoping for specific answers pertaining fiscal policies and tax reforms, but Trump did not address those. Instead it was more focused on bashing China and Mexico,” said Steven Englander, global head of G-10 currency strategy at Citi.
The dollar measured against a basket of the currencies of major US trading partners surged following the elections hitting a 14-year high. The greenback's all-time peak of 164.7 was reached in February 1985. That coincided with a bottom in the price of gold of $284.25 an ounce.

China-only Nokia to add to fierce phone competition www.chinadaily.com.cn

 
Finnish startup HMD Global has unveiled its first ever Nokia branded android phone that exclusively targets Chinese consumers.
 
The Nokia 6 was debuted last week at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
 
At a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday, HMD Global chief executive officer Arto Nummela, expressed his optimism about the market potential of China.
 
"We believe that we've had an in-depth understanding of the Chinese market and we've prepared to meet the competitions," Nummela said. "Chinese consumers are very well-educated and they know what they are demanding, their energy impressed me each time I have visited the nation."
 
It is the first handset released under the Nokia brand since 2014, when Nokia sold its devices and services division to Microsoft Corp.
 
The Nokia 6 will be equipped with a 5.5-inch full high definition display with 2.5D Gorilla Glass on top, and will have the latest Android Nougat operation system installed out of the box.
 
Che Xiangguang, general manager of products and business development division of HMD Global Greater China Region responded to questions about the decision to power the device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor, recognized as a low-end product of the US chip maker.
 
He said that performance, power dissipation and user experience have to be balanced when manufacturing the phone.
 
The device has been released for pre-order on local e-commerce platform JD.com with a price at 1,699 yuan ($245), and it will start shipping January 19.
 
The platform will provide marketing and distribution services for HMD in China over the next five years, under a strategic agreement signed recently between the two companies.
 
Industry observers suggested the the once well-known brand Nokia would face challenges re-entering the fiercely competitive middle-range market, lead by domestic vendors Huawei, Vivo, Oppo and Xiaomi.
 
Counterpoint Technology Market Research director James Yan told China Daily that to select e-commerce as their beginning distribution platform was a wise move, as it will save costs and be efficient.
 
Yan also remains cautious that the brand may require a certain transition time to adapt to a market that has changed rapidly in recent years.
 
He expected 50,000 to 100,000 devices to be shipped per month.
 
Jin Di, research manager at IDC China, also noted the competition in the mid to high-end smartphone markets in China was heating up.
 
She said that although the brand still has some influence in industry circles, Nokia would face a big challenge if they are not be able to target their own niche market.
 
"The world's android phone community has seen serious product homogeneity and the Nokia phone maker has to deploy differentiation strategy to compete with the other vendors of the country," Jin said. "As the brand has faded for years in the market, difficulties will appear as HMD chooses local distributions and mobile carries to promote new products."

Amazon to hire over 100,000 in US www.nhk.or.jp

IT giant Amazon says it will hire more than 100,000 people over the next 18 months in the United States. The plan comes as President-elect Donald Trump is urging firms to increase US employment.

The online retailer said on Thursday that the new recruits will be full-time workers and directly employed by the company.

Amazon said that if its plan goes smoothly, its US-based workforce will exceed 280,000, making the company one of the largest employers in the country.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos says innovation has created hundreds of thousands of American jobs. He notes that the new jobs are not just in Silicon Valley but also in fulfillment centers and other Amazon facilities throughout the country.

During the election campaign, Trump criticized IT firms such as Amazon and Apple for not producing enough US jobs.

In an apparent response to Trump's stance, Ford Motor and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recently announced plans to increase investment and employment in the US.
