Whether the prospect of a U.S. recession is real or imagined, the mere return of the discussion has been enough to send world stocks and bond yields reeling just as AI doubts and a Japan-led volatility spike have barreled into holiday-thinned August.
And as Japanese stocks were one of Buffett's top plays of the past year, that has alarmed an already nervy Tokyo market. And in a classic case of "be careful what you wish for", months of official intervention to buy yen and last week's second Bank of Japan interest rate rise of the year have finally succeeded - but it bowled over the stock market in spectacular fashion in the process.
