Japanese Investors Return to Overseas Real Estate With Lessons Learned From the 1990s

TOKYO—Big Japanese investors stumbled disastrously into the U.S. commercial real-estate market in the late 1980s, when they bought high-profile properties like New York’s Rockefeller Center not long before the market fell hard.Now some Japanese institutional investors and real-estate companies are back—but this time it isn’t about flaunting trophy purchases. It is about diversifying portfolios for the long term and getting good bargains while the market is slumping.Copyright ©2024 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Shale Is Keeping the World Awash With Oil as Conflicts Abound

Updated Jan. 1, 2024 12:05 am ETA surprise surge in American oil and gas production and exports is helping to keep the world stocked, blunting the impact of widening conflict in the Middle East that has crimped key shipping lanes. When Iranian-backed Houthi militants began launching missiles and drones at ships crossing the Red Sea near Yemen in October, many feared disruption to the vital shipping lane would drive up energy prices. But oil and gas prices this past month have sunk about 5% and 23%, respectively. Copyright ©2024 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Volkswagen’s Elusive Quest to Make an EV for the Masses

Updated Dec. 31, 2023 12:19 am ETBERLIN—Almost a decade ago, Volkswagen set out on an expensive quest to dominate the new world of software-defined cars and build the electric “people’s car.” It is still trying. The German automaker has invested billions of euros, retooled entire plants and created new software and battery companies to assist in making the transition. However, VW has yet to produce an EV that has matched the success of its historic gas-powered models such as the Beetle and the Golf in its core markets. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Hermès Shines in a Scruffy Luxury Market

Hermès is a brand that shows its real mettle in a downturn. The secret to its steady growth might be the restraint it shows in good times.  The French handbag maker’s shares gained 33% in 2023, making it the luxury sector’s best-performing stock. Parisian rival LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, which owns Christian Dior and is also considered one of the safest bets in luxury, rose 8%. But across the industry, most large European luxury stocks ended 2023 in the red as demand for expensive baubles sputtered following a record three-year shopping binge.   Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
