A Japanese grocery giant is opening a new Bay Area store. Here's where
Osaka Marketplace has signed a lease in Foster City at the Edgewater Place Shopping Center. The location is the vacant 35,000-square-foot space at 919 Edgewater Blvd., where a Lucky supermarket previously operated. The new retailer is best known for their selection of Japanese and Asian goods, as well as fresh seafood and prepared foods.
The store is slated to open in November. This will be Osaka Marketplace's third Bay Area location, with its other stores located in Fremont and Pleasant Hill. The company is currently working to expand in Northern California and Arizona.
The 123,000-square-foot Edgewater Place is currently in the middle of a capital improvement program to refresh its common areas and parking lot, among other amenities. The shopping plaza has attracted a variety of Asian dining options such as Chinese restaurant Rickshaw Corner, Yemeni Coffee house Sana'a Cafe and Rita Indian Restaurant.
'We're thrilled to join the Foster City community and bring our authentic Japanese grocery experience to Edgewater Place,' Osaka Marketplace owner Kazuhiro Takeda said in a statement. 'From fresh produce and seafood to prepared meals and pantry staples, we're looking forward to serving the community and celebrating the tastes and traditions of the neighborhood we now call home.'
The incoming store is is located not far from San Mateo, known for its Japanese American heritage. It's also the latest in a wave of Asian specialty supermarkets across the Bay Area that looks to satiate ever increasing demand, as seen in the recent opening of the Korean grocery store Jagalchi at Daly City's Serramonte Center, which drew hours-long lines. Future Asian grocery store arrivals include Tokyo Central at Emeryville's Bay Street mall, T&T at San Jose's Westgate Center and the long-anticipated H Mart in Dublin.

Global equity funds draw weekly inflows on trade deal optimism
(Reuters) -Inflows into global equity funds picked up again in the week through July 23 as optimism over U.S. trade deals, stronger than expected U.S. economic reports and an encouraging start to the corporate earnings season boosted risk sentiment. Global investors snapped up a net $8.71 billion worth of equity funds during the week, reversing a $4.4 billion net withdrawal in the prior week, data from LSEG Lipper showed. The United States and Japan agreed a deal earlier this week which cut existing import tariffs on Japanese goods to a lower-than-threatened 15%. Investors were also hopeful about the prospects of the U.S. and the European Union settling on U.S. import tariffs of around 15%. Investors took comfort from encouraging initial earnings reports as advanced AI chip maker TSMC posted a record profit and Gatorade owner PepsiCo upgraded its earnings forecasts. Net European equity fund inflows reached an 11-week high of $8.79 billion, while Asian funds drew a net $1.17 billion. U.S. equity funds lagged, although net outflows eased to $2.68 billion from about $11.67 billion the prior week. The technology sector gained $1.61 billion, reversing the previous week's $576 million net outflow. The financial and industrial sectors also saw $1.13 billion and $1.61 billion net additions, respectively. Net purchases of global bond funds extended into a 14th week as they added $17.94 billion. Investors pumped $4.14 billion into short-term bond funds, the largest amount in 13 weeks. Euro-denominated bond funds and high-yield funds attracted a net $3.89 billion and $2.51 billion, respectively. Gold and precious metals commodity funds recorded a net $1.9 billion worth of purchases, the largest weekly figure since June 18. Global money market funds drew a net $2.09 billion after about $21.78 billion of net sales a week ago. Emerging markets saw a revival in buying interest with investors adding bond funds of $2.19 billion and equity funds of $250 million after net disposals of $1.14 billion and $155 million in the prior week, data for a combined 29,669 funds showed.

Rupee slides for third straight week as tariff deadline, Fed decision near
By Jaspreet Kalra MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Indian rupee fell to a one-month low on Friday, and logged its third straight weekly decline, pressured by outflows from local stocks and caution among investors ahead of a news-heavy week dominated by tariffs and central bank decisions. The rupee closed at 86.5150 against the U.S. dollar on Friday, down 0.4% on the week. The local currency hit a low of 86.6250 earlier in the session, its weakest level since June 23. India's benchmark equity indexes, the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50, fell about 0.9% each, weighed down by a fall in global equities alongside worries over weak corporate earnings and a delayed U.S.-India trade deal. Dollar sales from local private banks, likely on behalf of exporter clients, helped limit the rupee's losses, a trader at a Mumbai-based bank said. The dollar index was up 0.2% at 97.7 while Asian currencies declined by as much as 0.7%. Next week is poised to be eventful, with trade talks between U.S. and China, monetary policy decisions from the U.S. Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan, the reciprocal tariff deadline, and key U.S. economic data expected to keep traders on their toes. The odds of a rate-cut by the Fed are near-zero but investors will keep an eye on commentary from the Fed Chair and whether the decision is unanimous. "We maintain our view that the impact of tariffs will be transitory and that it will be appropriate for the FOMC to resume cutting interest rates gradually in September (by 25bp) with another 25bp cut in December," ANZ said in a Friday note. The chances of a rate cut in September are currently around 60%, per CME's FedWatch tool. Evolving rate cut expectations will also be in focus locally as cooling inflation has prompted calls for at least one more interest rate cut this year. The RBI slashed rates by 100 bps over the first half of the year.
