Discovery (<a href=\"\/stock\/WBD\">WBD<\/a>) to $5 billion<\/strong>, signaling strong confidence in regulatory approval for the potential merger.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil prices remained near recent highs<\/strong>, supported by geopolitical tensions from Ukraine ceasefire talks and US-Venezuela relations, despite an increase in US inventories.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Foreign capital is flowing into Japan, with <strong>foreigners buying \u00a51,063.7 billion in Japanese bonds<\/strong> and <strong>\u00a5655.6 billion in Japanese stocks<\/strong> in the week ending November 28. This strong inbound investment contrasts with Japanese investors selling <strong>\u00a5771.3 billion in foreign bonds<\/strong> and reducing foreign stock purchases to <strong>\u00a596.6 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Amidst this influx, the <strong>10-year Japanese Government Bond (JGB) yield climbed to 1.9%<\/strong>, a level not seen since <strong>July 2007<\/strong>. This significant rise suggests growing expectations for tighter monetary policy in Japan. Despite the bond yield surge, <strong>Japan\u2019s Nikkei futures showed a modest gain of 0.08%<\/strong> in early trade, indicating a cautiously positive sentiment in the equity market.<\/p>\n<p>In the technology sector, <strong>Nvidia&#39;s (<a href=\"\/stock\/NVDA\">NVDA<\/a>) CEO Jensen Huang<\/strong> voiced concerns about the company&#39;s H200 chip. Huang stated he is <em>unsure if China would accept the H200<\/em> even if US export restrictions are eased, underscoring the persistent uncertainty surrounding a potential policy shift that could reopen a <strong>$50 billion<\/strong> market. This highlights the complex geopolitical landscape impacting major tech players.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the media industry is abuzz with merger activity as <strong>Skydance has significantly increased the breakup fee in its bid for Warner Bros. Discovery (<a href=\"\/stock\/WBD\">WBD<\/a>)<\/strong>. The fee has more than doubled to <strong>$5 billion<\/strong> from an earlier <strong>$2.1 billion<\/strong>, signaling strong confidence from Skydance that the merger can secure regulatory approval if a deal is signed. This move reflects a determined effort to consolidate in a competitive media environment.<\/p>\n<p>Commodity markets saw <strong>oil prices hold steady near recent highs<\/strong>. The stability is attributed to a small risk premium added by ongoing Ukraine ceasefire talks and escalating US-Venezuela tensions. This geopolitical support for prices persists <em>despite rising US inventories<\/em>, which typically exert downward pressure on crude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key
