Rakuten Bank to Refrain From JGB Buying as More Rate Hikes Seen
(Bloomberg) -- Rakuten Bank Ltd. will likely hold back from actively buying Japanese government bonds until the central bank raises interest rates again, in the latest sign that an uncertain policy outlook is weighing on investor sentiment. The lender, a unit of Japan's e-commerce giant Rakuten Group Inc., has seen its total deposits almost triple from five years ago to ¥11.7 trillion ($79 billion) at the end of June, as its online banking services attract more customers. While the deposits are dwarfed by those of Japan's biggest lenders, Rakuten Bank's fast-growing cash pool is pushing it to look for investments. Japan's sovereign debt looks out of the picture for now due to volatility in the market. The bank shied away from making any fresh JGB purchases for investment during the first six months of the year. It held about ¥617 billion of JGBs at the end of June that it bought to hold until maturity, according to the bank's data. 'We're not going for any aggressive buying of JGBs until we've seen at least another rate hike or two,' the bank's Chief Executive Officer Tomotaka Torin said in an interview. 'Our focus is on maintaining an operation that won't suffer setbacks against rising yields.' Japan has been at the center of routs in global markets this year, with yields surging, particularly for longer-maturity bonds. Investors in JGBs are still adjusting to the Bank of Japan shifting to gradual monetary tightening from negative interest rates, and many financial firms are staying away from bonds for now. BOJ watchers are becoming more convinced the next increase in borrowing costs is coming closer due to an uptick in inflation expectations, according to a recent Bloomberg survey of analysts. Overnight indexed swaps have fully priced in the possibility the BOJ will raise interest rates by 25 basis points by April. Torin said the bank will apply the same methods in managing mortgage loan products. The bank can't afford to provide ultra-low interest rate mortgages at a time when yields are set to climb, Torin said. Once profit margins have normalized following an increase in interest rates, 'that'd be the time for us to accelerate' lending, he said. The bank's total loan balance including credit card financing stood at ¥4.76 trillion at the end of June, up about 12% from a year ago. Finance businesses including Rakuten Bank are a growing part of Rakuten Group's operations with the segment accounting for more than half of the group's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda.

LinkedIn rolls out ‘Mini Sudoku' puzzle game created with world champion Thomas Snyder
LinkedIn has introduced a new puzzle game for the 1.2 billion users of its professional social networking app. The game is a miniature version of Sudoku. Instead of the traditional 9-by-9 grid, Mini Sudoku by LinkedIn is scaled down to a 6-by-6 grid puzzle that is supposed to be completed in two or three minutes. Mini Sudoku becomes harder to solve with every passing day of the week, similar to other puzzle-based games on LinkedIn. With Mini Sudoku, LinkedIn might be looking to play to the nostalgia of users. It could also lead to healthy competition between colleagues, friends and family members in terms of who can solve the puzzle first. Besides giving users something new to talk about, LinkedIn is likely introducing games on its platforms to boost engagement and user retention times. 'We don't want to have a puzzle on LinkedIn that takes 20 minutes to solve, right? We're not games for games' sake,' Lakshman Somasundaram, a senior director of product at LinkedIn, was quoted as saying by CNBC. Mini Sudoku was reportedly conceived based on an encounter between LinkedIn executives and Japanese publisher Nikoli, which popularised Sudoku, in Tokyo, Japan last year. Thomas Snyder, a three-time World Sudoku Championship winner, was also involved in helping LinkedIn design its gaming strategy for Mini Sudoku. Seeking to make the ancient game more accessible, the Microsoft-backed company reportedly designed several prototypes before finalising the version with six rows and six columns of squares. Mini Sudoku is the sixth game rolled out by LinkedIn so far. Millions of people play games on LinkedIn with 7am ET (4:30 pm IST) being the most popular time among users to play the game and Gen Z users on LinkedIn being the top demographic, a company spokesperson was quoted as saying. Over 86 per cent of the users who play regularly will return tomorrow, and 82 per cent of them will be playing next week, the spokesperson added.
