news Japan stock index Nikkei 225 crosses 39,000 to break its record high from 1989
pride4jc1222 posted a topic in The Lounge
The Nikkei bottomed out at around 7000 (or more than 80% from its previous record high) first in early 2003 and again in late 2008/early 2009: https://www.ft.com/content/8b982ad2-8923-4f48-adc6-946c10964657 To put into perspective, the last time the Nikkei hit a record high in December 1989, Taylor Swift was born and "Another Day in Paradise" was #1 on the Hot 100. Also, the over 34 years between record highs is more than 9 years longer than the US stock market took to set a new record high following the Great Depression. [All eyes are now on Italy's FTSE MIB, which last set a record of over 50,000 in early 2000. It is currently trading at around 32,000, which is still over 35% below its record high from 24 years ago.] -

To no one's surprise, the stories about Hunter Biden's laptop and Biden's "corruption" in Ukraine, which have been pushed for years by the GOP and the far-left, are a russian intelligence ploy. -

(Translation of excerpts taken from this article): "Almost 6 out of 10 Argentinians are poor [...]. The number skyrocketed after President Javier Milei began his presidency: the rate went from 49.5% in December, to 57.4% in January, with over 3.5 million new poor people (data provided by UCA). These represent the worst numbers since the "corralito" crisis in 2002, far above those from the first semester of 2023 when the poverty rate was 40.1%. In total, there are about 27 million poor people in a country with a population of 46 million inhabitants." "The reason for the current deterioration is simple: Income is growing at a much slower rate than that of inflation, and the breach expands exponentially. In 2023, prices went up by 211.4% and salaries went up by 152.7%. In January, the monthly inflation was 20.6%, and the year-on-year inflation was 254.2%, the highest in the world." "The situation is especially difficult when it comes to the groceries. Food prices went up by 300% over the last 12 months [...]." The article goes on to describe the current situation that millions of people face and the rise in destitution rates (up to 15% now). Milei himself has already said that it'll continue to get worse (!) but denies having any responsibility, blaming past governments for the current situation.

Tensions between the two Caucasus neighbours have remained high since Baku re-captured the Armenian-populated region of Nagorno-Karabakh last September in a lightning military offensive. "Our analysis shows that Azerbaijan wants to launch military action in some parts of the border with the prospect of turning military escalation into a full-scale war against Armenia," Pashinyan said at a government meeting. "This intention can be read in all statements and actions of Azerbaijan," he added. Yerevan is concerned that Azerbaijan, emboldened by its success in Karabakh, could invade Armenian territory in order to create a land bridge to its exclave of Nakhchivan. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, who won re-election this month, said in an inauguration speech Wednesday it was Armenia, not Azerbaijan, that had outstanding territorial claims. Pashinyan and Aliyev previously said a peace agreement could have been signed by the end of last year, but internationally mediated peace talks have failed to yield a breakthrough. On Tuesday, both sides accused each other of opening fire on their volatile border, in a skirmish Armenia said left four of its soldiers dead. Source
