The end of an era at Berkshire Hathaway: Warren Buffett steps down as chairman after more than six decades, with his son Howard taking the chair. But could one of Buffett’s favourite trades — Japan’s five great trading houses — offer investors a way to continue following his playbook?

Michelle Martin breaks down why the yen fell even after the Bank of Japan raised rates to a 31-year high, and reveals which major Asian economy now has even lower interest rates than Japan.

Then it’s Up or Down: Kylian Mbappé leaves Nike for On, a Wendy’s franchisee files for bankruptcy protection, Disney appoints its first CTO, Google’s Gemini raises fresh AI security concerns, and Nestlé faces mounting risks in Russia.

Plus, why Goldman Sachs sees close to 30% upside for ST Engineering — and how Resident Evil just scared up a franchise-record opening at the box office.
