BOJ produces estimates on how future rate hikes affect earnings
The Bank of Japan released for the first time estimates on how future interest rate hikes could affect its earnings, which showed it will briefly suffer red ink of up to $13 billion if short-term borrowing costs were to go up to 2%.

The BOJ conducted estimates based on several scenarios, including one in which short-term rates move up to around 1-2% in the course of several years, while the spread between short- and long-term rates move between 0.25% point and 0.75% point.

China's Nov industrial profits narrow decline but demand remains soft
BEIJING (Reuters) -China's industrial profits fell at a slower clip in November, official data showed on Friday, offering some respite to an embattled sector even as persistently soft domestic demand delays a recovery. The world's second-largest economy has been struggling to mount a strong post-pandemic revival, as business and household appetites for spending and investment remain subdued amid a prolonged housing downturn and fresh trade risks from the incoming U.S. administration of President-elect Donald Trump. Industrial profits fell 7.3% in November from the same month last year, following a 10% drop in October, National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) data showed.
