    South Korean cosmetics boast success in China

    At a factory two hours south of Seoul, women clad in plastic caps and masks put peach-colored eye-shadow into cases, right next to a machine churning out a skin-color face powder.

    The difference between the two lines: the first is supplying one of France’s best-known premium cosmetic brands, while the second is serving a South Korean budget firm.

    The plant is operated by Cosmecca Korea, the country's third-biggest contract cosmetics maker, which produces a range of products for more than 300 customers, all the way from high-end brands like Estee Lauder to nimble domestic firms such as Clio and Dr.Jart.

    Apple, Amazon race for market value of US$1t

    For a long time, Apple appeared to be flying solo to a US$1 trillion market value, but Amazon is right at its heels — and experts have no fears of a tech bubble.

    Apple, at US$939 billion, remains the highest-valued private company on the global markets — and could well cross the US$1 trillion finish line after it releases its quarterly results tomorrow.

    But Amazon is right behind. On Friday, its market cap reached US$917 billion, before finishing at US$882 billion, thanks to quarterly figures well received by investors.

    UK central bank delivers second interest rate hike in a decade

    The Bank of England hiked interest rates yesterday by a quarter-point to 0.75 percent to help tame high inflation, and upgraded its 2019 economic growth forecast despite investor fears of a chaotic Brexit.

    The British central bank's nine-member Monetary Policy Committee voted unanimously to raise rates for only the second time since the global financial crisis, but left the quantitative easing stimulus unchanged.

    Room for policy maneuvering as CPI up 2.1%

    China's consumer inflation rose faster last month but remained benign, leaving room for monetary policy maneuvering.
    The Consumer Price Index, a main gauge of inflation, climbed 2.1 percent from a year earlier in July, faster than the 1.9 percent year-on-year growth in June, the National Bureau of Statistics said yesterday. It was the highest level since March.

    Sheng Guoqing, the bureau’s senior statistician, linked the higher inflation to a 2.4 percent rise in non-food prices that contributed 1.96 percentage points to CPI growth.

    Netherlands builds a notable place in luxury yacht market

    With three lounges, three dining rooms, an open-air jacuzzi, a bar and six luxury cabins, the 50-meter “Aster” is one of Dutch shipyard Heesen’s more modest superyachts.

    The Netherlands, which amassed huge wealth through the technical superiority of European shipbuilders during its 17th century Golden Age, is continuing its maritime tradition by carving out a prominent place in the luxury yacht industry.

    “It’s a big year for us,” Johan Kaasjager of Heesen Yachts told Reuters at his shipyard in Oss. “We’ll have delivery of three yachts this year and still a lot to come. The order book is very good at the moment, so we’re full till 2020.”

    Turkey doubles tariffs on some US imports while lira rebounds

    Turkey doubled tariffs on some US imports including alcohol, cars and tobacco yesterday in retaliation for US moves, but the lira rallied further after the central bank's liquidity moves had the effect of supporting the currency.
    Ankara acted amid increased tension between the two NATO allies over Turkey's detention of a Christian American pastor and other diplomatic issues, which have helped send the lira tumbling to record lows against the dollar.

    The currency has lost nearly 40 percent against the dollar this year, driven by worries over President Tayyip Erdogan's growing influence on the economy and his repeated calls for lower interest rates despite high inflation.
    It rebounded some 6 percent yesterday, briefly strengthening to less than 6.0 against the dollar, after the central bank squeezed lira liquidity in the market, effectively pushing up rates and supporting the currency.
