Nokia And Zain KSA Launch First 4G/5G Femtocell Solution In The MEA Region

Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda indicated Wednesday that the central bank is prepared to raise interest rates if economic and price conditions continue to improve, as Japan&#8217;s 10-year government bond yields touched their highest level since 2011 amid mounting speculation of policy tightening.
What Happened: The yield on Japan&#8217;s benchmark 10-year government bonds surged to around 1.25% on Wednesday, reaching levels not seen since April 2011, as investors positioned themselves ahead of next week&#8217;s crucial BOJ policy meeting.
&#8220;We are currently analyzing data thoroughly and will compile the findings in our quarterly outlook report,&#8221; Ueda said at a gathering of regional banks, according to Reuters, noting that the BOJ will discuss potential rate hikes at next week&#8217;s meeting. 
His comments followed similar remarks from BOJ Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino, strengthening market expectations of an imminent policy shift.
The potential policy change comes amid rising inflation concerns. Peter Schiff, a prominent economist, highlighted on social media platform X that Japan&#8217;s inflation rate has reached 3.4%, significantly exceeding the BOJ&#8217;s 2% target.

It&#39;s now 3.4% and headed much higher. The Japanese were far better off and the government had a lot less debt when inflation was below 2%. The BOJ should have left well enough alone.

Peter Boockvar, Chief Investment Officer of Bleakley Financial Group, emphasized the broader implications, noting that Japanese Government Bond yields are crucial for understanding global rate dynamics.

Why It Matters: These policy discussions unfold in the shadow of August&#8217;s market turbulence, when the BOJ&#8217;s rate adjustment sparked widespread volatility. The Nikkei 225 suffered its sharpest single-day drop since 1987, and the unwinding of yen-based carry <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40199218/yen-carry-trade-is-only-halfway-unraveled-wall-street-analyst-says-how-much-more-ro">trades reverberated across global financial markets</a>.
For U.S. investors, the BOJ&#8217;s potential policy shift holds significant implications, given Japan&#8217;s historical influence on global bond yields and currency markets. On Wednesday, the U.S. dollar traded at 157.38 Japanese yen, underscoring the prevailing market uncertainty surrounding the BOJ&#8217;s next moves.
Ueda identified two key factors influencing the timing of any rate hike: the new U.S. administration&#8217;s economic policies and the momentum of this year&#8217;s wage negotiations in Japan, which he noted have shown positive indicators based on recent regional branch manager meetings.

BOJ's Kazuo Ueda Signals Rate Hikes, Japanese Bond Yields Rise To 14-Year High—What The Recent Past Tells Us About Impact On US Markets

Over 1.3 million electric vehicles were sold in the U.S. in 2024, marking a growth of 7.3% year-on-year, and accounting for 8.1% of total auto sales, according to data from automotive research company Kelley Blue Book. 
What Happened: EV sales in the U.S. benefited from strong incentives from automakers, excellent lease deals, and federal and state incentive programs in 2024, the firm said, while adding that companies like General Motors also added &#8220;excellent&#8221; new products.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) was the most-sold EV brand nameplate, followed by Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>). The best-selling EV models, however, came from across different brand names.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="831" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15012502/0DWlR-top-selling-evs-in-2024-1024x831.png" alt="" class="wp-image-733814" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15012502/0DWlR-top-selling-evs-in-2024-1024x831.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15012502/0DWlR-top-selling-evs-in-2024-300x243.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15012502/0DWlR-top-selling-evs-in-2024-768x623.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15012502/0DWlR-top-selling-evs-in-2024.png 1240w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The top-selling EV model was, unsurprisingly, Tesla&#8217;s Model Y SUV. The company sold 372,613 units of the Model Y in the 12 months, grabbing a remarkable 28.6% market share.
Model Y was seconded by Tesla&#8217;s mass-market sedan &#8211; the Model 3. Tesla launched the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36921718/youtuber-marques-brownlee-reviews-refreshed-model-3-calls-it-teslas-most-important-car-i-am-impresse">refreshed Model 3 in the U.S. </a>in Jan. 2024 and 189,903 units of the vehicle were sold, giving it a 14.6% share of the market.
Dearborn-based Ford sold 51,745 units of its Model Y rival Mustang Mach-E and 33,510 units of its Cybertruck rival F-150 Lightning, giving them the 3rd and 6th position in the best-selling EV list, respectively. 
The fourth best-selling EV in the U.S. after the Teslas and the Ford SUV, comes from South Korean automaker Hyundai. Hyundai sold 44,400 units of its Ioniq 5 SUV, placing it below the Mach-E but above Tesla&#8217;s stainless steel truck Cybertruck. Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42967593/cybertruck-sales-rise-in-2024-weighed-down-on-tesla-model-s-deliveries-in-us-shows-data">sold 38,965 units of the</a> Cybertruck last year. 
Japanese automaker Honda also found a place in the best-selling EV list with its Prologue. The company sold 33,017 units of the Prologue, cementing its 7th position on the list. 
General Motors&#8217; Chevrolet Equinox EV and the Cadillac Lyriq also made it onto the list with over 28,000 units sold of each. GM started delivering the Equinox EV only in May. 
California-based Rivian&#8217;s R1S SUV took the tenth spot with nearly 27,000 units sold despite its high price point of about $75,000.

What&#8217;s Ahead: Cox Automotive expects EV sales to grow further in 2025 despite uncertainties around policy under the incoming Trump administration. 
Cox noted that over 15 new models are expected to enter the market and coupled with better charging infrastructure and incentives from automakers, EV sales will rise and account for 10% of total vehicle sales in 2025. 
Policy changes under the new administration will likely not be put into effect soon, allowing prospective buyers to make their purchases, it said. 
The research firm is now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42762224/bev-market-share-will-increase-across-us-china-europe-in-2025-says-sp-global-mobility">expecting 2025</a> to be a record year for EV volume.

According to&nbsp;Reuters,&nbsp;Nippon Steel&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NPSCY#OTC">NPSCY</a>) is eager to engage&nbsp;with&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s incoming administration to finalize a takeover of&nbsp;U.S. Steel&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>). This comes after&nbsp;President Joe Biden blocked a&nbsp;$14.9 billion acquisition, leading to lawsuits filed by both companies.
What Happened: In&nbsp;an opinion <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/nippon-steel-and-us-steel-why-were-suing-biden-over-deal-blocking-bb6ed1e1?mod=opinion_lead_pos11">piece</a> in the&nbsp;Wall Street Journal on Wednesday,&nbsp;Takahiro Mori, vice chairman of Nippon Steel, expressed the company&#8217;s determination to pursue the transaction.
&#8220;Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel&nbsp;will do whatever it takes&nbsp;to close this transaction,&#8221; Mori stated, emphasizing their strong legal position and anticipation of court proceedings.
Trump is set to assume&nbsp;office on Monday. Enforcement of&nbsp;Biden&#8217;s order, which mandated the unwinding of the deal within 30 days, has been postponed until June due to the legal challenge. Mori highlighted the importance of&nbsp;partnerships with the new administration&nbsp;to bolster U.S. Steel for the benefit of American stakeholders.
Meanwhile,&nbsp;Cleveland-Cliffs&nbsp;is collaborating with&nbsp;Nucor&nbsp;to potentially present an all-cash bid for U.S. Steel, as reported by Reuters. Mori reiterated Japan&#8217;s alliance with the U.S. and dismissed national security concerns regarding the takeover.
Why It Matters: The legal battle between&nbsp;Nippon Steel&nbsp;and the Biden administration over the blocked acquisition of&nbsp;U.S. Steel&nbsp;has been ongoing. In early January,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42870745/nippon-steel-ceo-slams-tariffs-defends-15-billion-us-steel-merger-amid-national-security-concerns-we-never-think-that-industry-can-become-stronger-through-tariffs-alone">Nippon Steel CEO Eiji Hashimoto</a>&nbsp;criticized tariffs as insufficient for strengthening the U.S. steel industry and defended the merger, arguing it would enhance U.S. national security by creating a more robust company.
The lawsuit filed by Nippon Steel challenges the Biden administration&#8217;s decision, claiming it violated constitutional due process rights. Legal experts suggest that this lawsuit might extend the timeline for the deal, allowing for alternative deal structures. The opposition from Biden was reportedly aimed at securing union support in Pennsylvania, a key state in the political landscape.
Price Action: United States Steel was up by 1.37% in overnight trading on Robinhood at 2:43 am ET.

Nippon Steel Eyes Trump Administration To Revive $15B US Steel Deal Blocked By Biden: 'We'll Do Whatever It Takes'

Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, is in talks with several billionaires about potentially acquiring TikTok to prevent its shutdown in the U.S.
What Happened: On Tuesday, the renowned YouTuber took to X, formerly Twitter, and said that he intends to buy TikTok so it doesn't get banned in the U.S.&nbsp;
He later said that multiple billionaires have contacted him to explore the feasibility of the purchase. While he did not disclose any names, the YouTuber appears to be considering the possibility of making the acquisition a reality.
"Unironically I've had so many billionaires reach out to me since I tweeted this, let's see if we can pull this off," he stated.

Why It Matters: In April 2024, President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38394855/biden-set-to-sign-tiktok-ban-into-law-after-senate-passes-bill-supported-by-gop-democrats">signed a bill requiring</a> TikTok&#8217;s parent company, ByteDance, to either cease U.S. operations or sell its business in the country.
With the Jan. 19 deadline looming, MrBeast&#8217;s post about buying TikTok has sparked interest, though initially perceived as a joke by some fans.
The primary concern leading to the potential ban is the risk of data being shared with the Chinese government.
ByteDance has previously stated that TikTok is not for sale, and any sale attempts might face <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38693602/tiktok-admits-xi-jinpings-ccp-wont-let-its-algorithm-be-sold-after-biden-gives-9-months-to-divest-or">opposition from the Chinese government</a>.&nbsp;

MrBeast Discussing Buying TikTok With Billionaires To Prevent US Shutdown: 'Let's See If We Can Pull This Off'

Italy&#8217;s largest bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, dipped its toes in the cryptocurrency market, conducting its first Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) purchase worth $1 million, according to a report on Tuesday.
What Happened: Intesa Sanpaolo purchased 11 Bitcoins&nbsp;in what CEO Carlo Messina&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/italys-intesa-buys-1-mln-euros-bitcoin-first-proprietary-trade-2025-01-14/#:~:text=An%20internal%20memo%20seen%20by,through%202028%20for%20company%20investments.">described </a>as &#8220;a test,&#8221; Reuters reported, citing an internal memo.
Speaking to reporters at an event, Messina said that the lender had &#8220;very limited&#8221; room to invest in cryptocurrencies and that the latest trial was conducted to prepare for potential requests for such investments by &#8220;sophisticated&#8221; clients.

&#8220;We tested how to handle any potential requests from clients, but there will anyway be very tight limits and clients will need to prove they understand potential risks,&#8221; Massino said.
He also advised individual investors to avoid cryptocurrency investments, stating, &#8220;I myself don&#8217;t invest in Bitcoin.&#8221;

With total assets of €949.18 million ($977.40 million), Intesa Sanpaolo is Italy&#8217;s largest bank. The company didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.
Why It Matters: This development comes in the wake of Italy&#8217;s recent change in stance towards cryptocurrencies. 
Last month, Italian politicians from the ruling coalition <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42430918/italy-backpedals-on-controversial-tax-hike-on-crypto-capital-gains-following-industry-opposition-no-more-prejudices">announced a significant reduction</a> in the proposed tax hike on cryptocurrency capital gains following industry criticism and internal disagreements.
The Treasury had initially planned to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41367903/italy-eyes-drastic-tax-hike-on-bitcoin-profits-42-looming-in-2025-shocking-countrys-crypto" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">increase the tax</a>&nbsp;on cryptocurrency capital gains from 26% to 42% under the 2025 budget.

Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $97,052.07, up 2.82% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

U.S. semiconductor trade groups have mounted strong opposition to the President Joe Biden administration&#8217;s new chip export restrictions, warning of potential market share losses to global competitors in a private letter to Biden.
What Happened: The letter Tuesday, signed by six trade organizations including the Semiconductor Industry Association and SEMI, criticized the administration&#8217;s approach to implementing stricter controls on advanced computing chips and high-bandwidth memory technology, particularly regarding sales to China, Reuters reported.
The pushback comes as the Commerce Department unveiled new regulations Monday creating a three-tier system for global chip exports. The rules require most nations to obtain licenses for building AI data centers using U.S. chips, while providing unrestricted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42967114/what-does-joe-bidens-last-minute-chip-export-restrictions-mean-for-nvidia-that-has-jensen-huang-led-ai-giant-up-in-arms">access to 18 allied countries</a>.
Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which controls approximately 90% of the AI chip market, saw its shares drop 3% following the announcement. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) fell 2% in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42941939/nvidia-down-3-amd-falls-2-after-white-house-imposes-new-ai-chip-export-restrictions">response to the restrictions</a>.
"This rule threatens to derail innovation and economic growth worldwide," said Nvidia&#8217;s VP of government affairs, Ned Finkle, in a statement on Monday.
The pending regulations could particularly impact companies like Lam Research Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>), potentially reversing earlier interpretations that had allowed hundreds of millions in additional revenue from Chinese memory chip makers, according to the report.
&#8220;We understand that this additional rule will even more strictly control high bandwidth memory, without consideration of how such changes may impact U.S. companies or cede market share to global competitors,&#8221; the letter said.

Why It Matters: Oracle Corp. Executive Vice President Ken Glueck warned the restrictions could reduce the international chip market for U.S. companies by up to 80%, significantly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42941939/nvidia-down-3-amd-falls-2-after-white-house-imposes-new-ai-chip-export-restrictions">affecting the domestic cloud industry</a>.
The rules arrive amid escalating U.S.-China tensions over semiconductor technology. In December, the U.S. blacklisted 140 Chinese entities and restricted memory chip exports, prompting Beijing to implement retaliatory export <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42265847/biden-targets-china-with-new-chip-restrictions-nvidia-slides">controls on critical minerals</a>.

Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, has said that Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s leadership approach at Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has changed since he started learning jiu-jitsu.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Munster pointed out that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42986509/meta-platforms-announces-performance-based-job-cuts-whats-going-on">Meta&#8217;s 5% workforce reduction</a> is a reflection of this strategic shift.
This follows previous reductions of 5% in 2024, 11% in 2023, and 13% in 2022. Despite these cuts, Zuckerberg plans to refill the positions, ensuring that severance costs do not impact Meta&#8217;s operating margin, he stated.

Why It Matters: At its core, Jiu Jitsu teaches principles of gentleness, mutual welfare, and maximum efficiency, according to Zenyo Jiu Jitsu, a website about the martial art. In 2023, Zuckerberg labeled the year as the company&#8217;s &#8220;year of efficiency&#8221; and announced plans to cut 10,000 jobs.
At the time, he said, &#8220;Change is never easy, but I know we'll get through this and come out an even stronger company that can build better products faster&nbsp;and enable you to do the best work of your careers.&#8221;

He explained that his commitment to Jiu-Jitsu embodied this philosophy, as the physically challenging discipline humbled him during his early stages, teaching him valuable lessons through moments of being "kicked" and feeling "stupid."
Meta&#8217;s workforce reductions are part of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42865109/sony-co-founder-akio-morita-once-said-that-management-should-treat-companies-like-families-not-commodities-recession-comes-management-fire-people-but-stays-to-keep-its-profit">broader trend in the tech</a> industry.

On Friday, shares of Bbx Capital Inc (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBXIA#OTC">BBXIA</a>) experienced volatile short activity. After the activity, the stock price went up +0.64% to $7.85.

The overall sentiment for BBXIA has been Bearish.

The signal from the volatility alert is trending Bullish. Therefore, the recommendation is to Decrease Short Exposure.

The volatility alert was produced on the prior trading date, 4/21/2023 with a volatility change of +65.46%. The current volatility indicator stands at 8.22.

Overview:
The securities lending volatility indicator is produced by Tidal Markets, in partnership with Benzinga Insights. Securities lending primarily serves the purpose of providing liquidity to short sellers. When unusual activity occurs in the securities lending markets, it acts as an upstream indicator to what is likely to occur downstream in the regular stock market.

Understanding the Volatility Alert:
Overall sentiment is considered &quot;bear&quot; when broad market activity of the stock has been shown to indicate a negative directional basis, or is considered &quot;bull&quot; when indicating a positive directional basis. The securities lending volatility indicator provides a signal when it detects unusual short activity. Unusual short activity is based off a computer generated algorithmic formula utilizing securities lending trade details such as the volume of shares being shorted, the rate being paid to short the shares, and the type of collateral being posted - amongst other variables. The current volatility is the respective trading day&#39;s calculated securities lending volatility value. The volatility percentage change is the percentage difference in volatility between the two most recent days. The recommendation is a suggestive strategy, inferred from the strength of the Signal Trending, Current Volatility, and Volatility % Change. Recommendations may include, &quot;Strong Buy&quot;, &quot;Strong Sell&quot;, &quot;Increase Short Exposure&quot;, &quot;Decrease Short Exposure&quot;, or &quot;Market Neutral&quot;.
