South Korea launches first Internet of Things network www.bbc.com

South Korea has launched its first commercial, low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) network aimed at making the country even more connected.
The network would allow smart devices to talk to each other via the network.
Phone carrier SK Telecom is behind the initiative, which uses technology that will allow it to reach 99% of the country's population.
Aside from South Korea, the Netherlands also has a nationwide IoT network.
There will be charges involved as users will have to subscribe to monthly price plans that range from 350 Korean won ($0.30, £0.20) to 2,000 won.
SK Telecom is investing up to 100 billion won by the end of next year to further develop the infrastructure, which it hopes will be a new source of revenue.
In a statement it said the price plans are "highly affordable" and cost one-tenth of its current LTE-based IoT services which will ease the cost burden of startups and small and medium enterprises.
The IoT can help appliances like fridges or printers tell its owners when it needs to be refilled, help customers locate lost smartphones and even monitor pets.

Head of London's financial district to visit Japan www3.nhk.or.jp

The Lord Mayor of the City of London, the capital's financial district, says he will visit Japan next week to explain the effects of Brexit on Britain's main financial center.
 
After Britain's vote to leave the European Union, Japanese executives are wondering whether to relocate their operations in the City of London.
 
Jeffrey Evans told NHK on Monday that the UK's exit from the EU may cause uncertainties, but that the City is determined to remain a leading financial center.
 
Evans indicated that the City can stay competitive. He noted that the width and depth of what London can offer is considerable and it's not easy to move activities and businesses to other centers.
 
Evans plans to meet with top executives of Japanese financial institutions and corporations next week to ease their concerns.
 
He will also visit South Korea and Taiwan.

Billionaire Prokhorov's company denies Russian assets sale www.rt.com

One of Russia's major private investment funds ONEXIM group, which is owned by tycoon Mikhail Prokhorov, has dismissed reports the fund is selling all of its Russian assets.
“We have made no decisions on this matter. The group has always been and will continue to be an important player in the Russian market, maintaining a strategic interest in investments in the country," ONEXIM Group CEO Dmitry Razumov said in a statement.According to Razumov, the company is always negotiating purchases and sale of assets, as well as attracting new partners in respect of certain assets – which are a common business activity. Some of those processes continue for years, and it is “incorrect to make statements on the sale of all the company’s assets based on the fact of such talks,” he said.
 
On Monday business daily Vedomosti reported the ONEXIM Group is selling all of its assets following raids by Russia's Federal Security Service on the company’s offices in April. According to Vedomosti, the decision to sell the assets may be linked to the searches. One of its sources said rumors about the company’s intention to sell the assets could be linked to a “strong recommendation from the Kremlin” but there was no evidence of that.
 
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed reports of the administration’s involvement in the potential sale of ONEXIM assets, calling them “total nonsense.”The ONEXIM Group is one of Russia’s major private investment funds with a diversified investment portfolio in mining (Russian Aluminum Rusal, Uralkali potash company), financial services (Soglasie Insurance Company, Renaissance Capital and Renaissance Credit, International Financial Club), real estate (OPIN), media (RBC media holding, Snob), energy sector (Quadra power generator), utilities and technology.
 
Forbes magazine estimates Mikhail Prokhorov’s fortune at $10.3 billion. The businessman is the sole owner of the Brooklyn Nets basketball team.

Silver and gold surge as investors seek safe haven www.bbc.com

Silver, long considered the poorer cousin of gold, is trading at its highest price in more than two years as investors put their money into precious metals, perceived as lower risk assets.

Gold added more than 1% to settle at $1,350.79, a two-year high.
The gains come amid speculation central banks will increase their stimulus measures following the Brexit vote.
Meanwhile, Asian stock markets mostly fell on Tuesday, following five consecutive days of gains, after oil prices fell below $49 per barrel.
Both Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 and the broader Topix shed about 1%.
South Korea's Kospi is 0.3% lower.
Australian stocks fell 0.6%, led by commodity stocks.

UK govt proposes 15% corporate tax to boost post-Brexit economy www.rt.com

The UK Chancellor George Osborne is suggesting lowering the corporate tax rate to 15 percent in an effort to encourage businesses to invest in the British economy outside the European Union.Britain currently levies a 20 percent tax on business. The rate is due to be reduced to 19 percent in April and to 17 percent in 2020. A five percent tax cut might make the country one of the most competitive global economies.
 
The step is a part of a five-point plan to support the economy after Britain leaves the EU, which will spark a "do it yourself" recession in the UK, according to Osborne.“We must focus on the horizon and the journey ahead and make the most of the hand we've been dealt” the Chancellor said in an interview with the Financial Times.Osborne plans to attract investors from China, as well as to provide necessary support for bank lending and preserve the country’s fiscal credibility in order to uphold the economy in the post-Brexit era.A week before the referendum, the minister warned UK citizens he would introduce new austerity measures, including income tax rises and spending cuts, should Britain decide to leave the EU.The historic vote sent the value of the British pound to its lowest levels in decades. The financial markets initially tumbled but have since recovered. International rating agencies Fitch, Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s all downgraded the country following the decision to quit the EU.

Business pessimism 'doubles after Brexit vote' www.bbc.com

UK business confidence has fallen sharply in the aftermath of the vote to leave the EU, research suggests.
The share of businesses that reported feeling pessimistic about the UK economy doubled in the week after the Brexit vote.
The figure jumped from 25% the week before the referendum to 49%, according to YouGov and the Centre for Economics and Business Research.
Falling confidence can lead companies to pull back on investment and hiring.
Scott Corfe, director at the CEBR, said that the figures, due to be published on Tuesday, indicated a "significant shock reaction" among UK businesses following the vote last month.
Mr Corfe told BBC Newsnight: "Businesses are clearly spooked by the referendum result and they've reined in their intentions for capital spending. They've reined in their expectations for exports and domestic sales growth.
"And business confidence is a leading indicator for where the economy is heading over the coming quarters. What it suggests is that the economy is in for quite a significant slowdown over the next three to six months."
The figures suggest that businesses have become more cautious in their outlook for sales and exports, as well as rethinking their investment plans.
'Contraction'
Business expectations for UK sales, exports and investment all dropped, according to the research. The index for capital investment plans fell from 108 in the week before the vote to 100.1. A figure above 100 indicates growth, while below 100 suggests contraction.
Expectations for exports fell from 115.3 to 99.8, suggesting falling sales overseas. Businesses that sell internationally face particular challenges given the uncertainty over the future relationship between the UK and the EU, its largest trading partner.
The slump in business confidence comes after research last week showed a marked deterioration in consumer sentiment about the economy. YouGov/CEBR said that consumer confidence had fallen back to its lowest level since May 2013.
Economists are watching measures of consumer and business confidence to gauge how uncertainty around the referendum result might affect the real economy, and whether it could prompt households to delay large purchases or companies to shelve investment plans.
"We expect this uncertainty to generate an investment-led recession as recent falls in business investment intensify," economists from Goldman Sachs wrote last week. "While assuming quite a resilient consumer, we expect weakening business investment to tip the UK into recession around the turn of the year."

Australian political limbo drives dollar lower www.bbc.com

The Australian dollar weakened after the country's election over the weekend ended up too close to call, raising the prospect of a hung parliament.
The dollar started about 0.4% lower around $0.7435 but later edged back up to $0.7469 in light trading.
The benchmark ASX/S&P 200 fell in early trading on Monday before rising 0.3% following a gain in commodities.
Neither the ruling Liberal-National Coalition nor the opposition Labor parties secured an outright majority.
The result won't be decided until at least Tuesday, which is when vote-counting resumes.
The uncertainty and an increased risk of Australia having it's "AAA" credit rating cut has "dented" the country's currency, Vishnu Varathan from Mizuho Bank said.
Australia's central bank is also expected to hold fire at its policy meeting on Tuesday, analysts Capital Economics said:
"The fallout on the economy and financial markets from the uncertain outcome of the Federal election will probably be relatively mild and short-lived and is unlikely to prompt the Reserve Bank of Australia to cut interest rates from 1.75% to 1.50%.
"It is concerns over the weak outlook for inflation, not the political outlook, that will trigger a rate cut to 1.50% in August," it said in a report.
Elsewhere in Asia
Asian markets are mostly rising as traders turn their focus from the UK's decision to exit the European Union to the prospect of policymakers unleashing more easing measures to boost growth.
Japan's Nikkei 225 has also reversed earlier losses and rose 0.7% in the afternoon session. South Korea stocks are 0.4% higher.
In Greater China, the Shanghai Composite gained 1.8% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 1.5%.
One stock not doing well though is Chinese property developer Vanke, which is undergoing a contested restructuring.
Its shares were suspended from trading in Shenzhen after plunging by the daily 10% limit.

Uniqlo suspends most Bangladesh travel as attack rattles garment industry www.asia.nikkei.com

TOKYO (Reuters) -- Japan's Fast Retailing Co , owner of the Uniqlo casual-wear brand, will suspend all but critical travel to Bangladesh and has told staff there to stay home after 20 people, including seven Japanese, were killed in an attack that began late Friday.
 
Bangladesh's $26 billion garment industry has been bracing for the fallout of the killings at a Dhaka restaurant, fearing major retailers from Uniqlo to Marks and Spencer and Gap Inc could rethink their investment after the latest attack targeting foreigners.
 
Uniqlo has 10 Japanese staff in Bangladesh, one of its major production hubs outside China, and was among the first to confirm that it will tighten travel restrictions, already in place after attacks on foreigners last year.
 
A spokeswoman said all but critical travel was suspended.
 
Industry analysts have suggested brands could now consider shifting out of Bangladesh and into other, less unsettled, countries in the wider region from Cambodia to Sri Lanka. But no major producer has yet signalled official plans.
 
"There are no plans in changing any sourcing, but we are following developments closely," Sweden's H & M said in a Sunday statement echoed by other major retailers.
 
Bangladesh, one of the world's poorest countries, relies on garments for around 80 percent of its exports and for about 4 million jobs, and ranks behind only China as a supplier of clothes to developed markets like Europe and the United States.
