Swatch apologises for 'slanted eye' Asian model ad
Swatch apologises for 'slanted eye' Asian model ad Swatch says it has removed all materials worldwide related to the offensive advertisement. File photo: Reuters Swiss watchmaker Swatch has issued an apology and pulled ads featuring images of an Asian male model pulling the corners of his eyes up and backwards in a "slanted eye" pose. The images for the Swatch Essentials collection were widely condemned online in China, where many comments said they appeared to mimic racist taunts about Asian eyes. In an apology posted in both Chinese and English on its official account on the Weibo social media platform on Saturday, Swatch said that it has "taken note of the recent concerns" and removed all related materials worldwide. "We sincerely apologise for any distress or misunderstanding this may have caused," it said, also posting the same apology on Instagram. Swatch, which also makes Omega, Longines and Tissot watches, is heavily exposed to China for revenue, with around 27 percent of the group's sales last year coming from the mainland, Hong Kong and Macau region. Revenue for the watchmaker last year slumped 14.6 percent to 6.74 billion Swiss francs, hit by a downturn in demand in China, where Swatch said it was seeing "persistently difficult market conditions and weak demand for consumer goods overall".

Reclassified commercial property loans are no cause for panic
Call it the three stages of commercial property loan grief. It's not the kind of technical metrics that usually get newspaper readers all hot and bothered. But since the local market has been going through a prolonged slump, people are getting an education in commercial real estate finance. The latest news has been the exposure of HSBC, the city's largest lender, to the sector. Almost three-quarters of its commercial property loans were supposedly flashing warning signals by the end of June. HSBC reportedly accounts for US$32 billion of the city's total US$234 billion in such loans. More loans are being reclassified at higher stages of credit risk, such as at stage 2 for significantly increased risk and stage 3 for signs of impairment. But if that is indicative of the city's overall loanbook, the overall classified loan ratio – a key measure of borrowings considered substandard, doubtful or at loss – should worsen. But that's not the case. On the surface, those headline numbers certainly sound alarming, with hints of a property sector collapse and a banking crisis. In context, though, there is less to this than meets the eye. About 73 per cent of HSBC's commercial real estate loan book was classified as 'satisfactory or stronger' in June, compared with 75 per cent in December. Stage 2 classification shows a deterioration in credit quality, unavoidable in a gloomy market. But rather than being indicative of default, it is a pre-emptive classification, or early warning. It calls for caution, not alarm. About 80 per cent of those cases have a loan-to-value ratio of less than 70 per cent, meaning they are well within the safe loan parameters, thus limiting the bank's exposure. According to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the local banking industry's classified loan ratio was 1.97 per cent at the end of the second quarter, little changed from 1.98 per cent in the first quarter. The long-term average is around 2 per cent. At its worst, the ratio was 7.4 per cent in 1999, following the Asian financial crisis.

Oil prices slip as Russia supply concerns ease after Trump-Putin meeting
Oil prices slipped in early Asian trade on Monday as the United States did not exert more pressure on Russia to end the Ukraine war by implementing further measures to disrupt Moscow's oil exports after presidents from both countries met on Friday. Brent crude futures dropped 32 cents, or 0.49 per cent, to US$65.53 a barrel while US West Texas Intermediate crude was at US$62.57 a barrel, down 23 cents. US President Donald Trump met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday and emerged more aligned with Moscow on seeking a peace deal instead of a ceasefire first. Trump will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders on Monday to strike a quick peace deal to end Europe's deadliest war in 80 years. 'What was primarily in play were the secondary tariffs targeting the key importers of Russian energy, and President Trump has indeed indicated that he will pause pursuing incremental action on this front, at least for China ,' RBC Capital analyst Helima Croft said in a note.
