[https://invezz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/BOJ.png] The Nikkei 225 Index continued its strong surge, reaching its all-time high after Japan’s inflation softened and as the Bank of Japan left interest rates unchanged. It jumped to a record high of ¥45,652, up sharply from the year-to-date low of ¥30,745. This article explores the top reasons why the index has soared in the past few months. NIKKEI 225 INDEX JUMPED AS THE BOJ RESISTED HIKES One of the main reasons why the Nikkei 225 Index has soared this year is that the BoJ has resisted hiking interest rates despite a stubbornly high inflation rate. The continued pause is different from what happened in 2024 when the bank exited negative interest rates and delivered hikes for the first time in decades. The bank will likely maintain rates at the current level for a while as inflation has started moving in the right direction. A report released by the statistics agency showed that the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) softened from 3.1% in July to 2.7% in August.

[https://invezz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Solar-and-wind-farm.png] Australia announced on Thursday its 2035 emissions target, aiming for a 62%-70% reduction from 2005 levels. This figure was lower than anticipated and drew criticism from environmental organisations, according to a Reuters report. Countries are requested by the United Nations to submit their climate plans, known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), by the end of September. This deadline allows for their efforts to be assessed prior to the COP30 climate summit, scheduled for November in Brazil. Australia ranks among the world’s highest per capita polluters, primarily due to its extensive resource industry, which involves significant extraction of coal and natural gas. TARGETS The Climate Change Authority, an independent advisory body, initially suggested a target range of 65%-75%. However, the country’s actual target is lower than this range, as well as below the Treasury Department’s modelled projections. On Thursday, Chris Bowen, the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, stated at a news conference that the reduced target was a more attainable goal. > The target must be two things, ambitious and achievable.

ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live! after controversial monologue [https://invezz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/ABC.webp] Late-night television was rocked on Wednesday after Disney-owned ABC abruptly pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air. The move came after Kimmel delivered a monologue about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, comments that sparked a swift political backlash online. ABC confirmed it was suspending new episodes of the long-running late-night program “until further notice,” a move that left Hollywood insiders stunned. For viewers, it was a sudden disappearance of one of television’s most familiar voices, and for the industry, a stark reminder of how fragile the line between comedy, commentary, and controversy has become. US President Donald Trump congratulated ABC on the decision and called it a ‘great news for America.’ [https://invezz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot-2025-09-18-at-10.14.54 AM-1024x610.png] A FLASHPOINT IN LATE-NIGHT POLITICS Kimmel’s monologues have always been laced with pointed political humor, but this week’s remarks about Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk hit differently. His sharp jabs drew outrage from conservative groups, with critics accusing him of veering out of comedy and into personal attacks. Within hours, hashtags calling for ABC to…
