Ador, NewJeans’ label, rejected the group's demand to reinstate former CEO Min Hee-jin, citing adherence to Hybe Labels’ management and production separation principles.

In a statement on Sept. 25, Ador, a Hybe subsidiary, confirmed that Min would continue as a producer and internal director but could not return as CEO. Min responded by reiterating her request for reinstatement, emphasizing her leadership's importance for the group's success.

NewJeans, who issued an ultimatum to Hybe on Sept. 11, now faces limited options, including staying under new CEO Kim Ju-young or pursuing legal action for contract violations. Experts suggest that proving a breach of contract may be challenging, while seeking termination could result in penalties ranging from 300 billion won ($229 million) to 500 billion won ($381.7 million). NewJeans’ demand comes amid a months-long feud between Hybe and Min over control of the group’s management and creative direction.

  • Fed more tolerant now of higher inflation: Yardeni strategist

    The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose more than expected for the month of September, economists reporting a 0.2% increase in prices month-over-month (0.1% expected) and 2.4% year-over-year (2.3% expected). Core CPI — which strips out food and energy prices — rose 0.3% monthly and 3.3% annually, both above consensus estimates for the economic print. KPMG Senior Economist Yelena Maleyev and Yardeni Research Chief Markets Strategist Eric Wallerstein join the Morning Brief team to speak more about the inflation data and its implications for the Federal Reserve's interest rate journey. "Unfortunately, we're going to get some weather impacts in the jobs data in the coming months. But I think as long as inflation isn't getting towards 2% so dramatically, and there's no crisis that unfolds in the labor market, which I don't foresee, I don't think there's anything that gives the Fed reason to cut further this year," Wallerstein explains. Maleyev turns to specific pricing components that could forecast the pathway for inflation. "Components like food and energy are, of course, outside of the Fed's purview. Monetary policy can't support growing more food, creating more supply and energy markets. So that's why we tend to look at the core measure, which has been sticky, a lot of it due to shelter inflation," she says. "But we know shelter inflation is on its way down just based on how lagged the shelter inflation indicator inside the index is." Furthermore, Malayev believes that the Fed will not fight inflation to the point of tipping into a recession. Wallerstein goes as far as to characterize the central bank as being more tolerant of higher inflation levels. "The target is 2% and it's not going to move in terms of where it's set or what policymakers talk about. But I think the Fed now tolerates higher inflation, around 2.5%, much more much more than they used to. This whole average inflation targeting is coming back despite a 30 to 40% rise in prices cumulatively over just a few years." he explains.

  • South Korea's central bank cuts rates in a bid to boost the economy

    South Korea’s central bank on Friday cut its policy rate for the first time in more than four years as pressure to revive a sluggish economy outweighed concerns about the country’s level of household debt. The Bank of Korea lowered its key interest rate by a quarter percentage point to 3.25% following a meeting of its monetary policy committee, in its first move to lower borrowing costs since May 2020, when the economy was weathering the COVID-19 pandemic. The bank raised the rate by a quarter percentage point in August 2021 over concerns about inflation and soaring household debt, driven in part by skyrocketing house prices, and then froze rates for over three years.

  • We can talk about a soft landing in the past tense: Economist

    The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) and initial jobless claims data both came in hotter than expected, highlighting ongoing inflationary pressures and some weakness in the labor market. Wilmington Trust chief economist Luke Tilley joins Market Domination to discuss what this data means for the Federal Reserve's rate-cutting path and the outlook for the US economy. "I think we can start speaking about the soft landing in the past tense, if you will... The PCE (personal consumption expenditures) headline is 2.2%. I mean, that's essentially down to their target. You've got the unemployment rate right at their equilibrium or their expected normal rate, 4.2%," Tilley tells Yahoo Finance. He notes that if the labor market worsens, it may signal that the Federal Reserve's monetary policy was "too restrictive for a little bit too long." "But I don't see any signs of a reacceleration. And now that we've got a stronger jobs report, we think it supports that base case of the soft landing and might be able to talk about it in the past tense," he adds. While the initial jobless claims data came in higher than expected, Tilley notes that it could be due to the hurricanes and strikes. Thus, the data should not be weighed too heavily in terms of its impact on the overall health of the labor market. Tilley concludes that the market tends to overreact to economic data. "There's this constant movement of trying to discern on the margin. You're going to have some investors moving from one camp to the other, from euphoria to fear, or back the other direction. But if you take the broad scope of economic data, it looks like that soft landing." He notes that the biggest risk ahead is a recession, which he believes is about a 30% chance at this juncture.

  • China demand, geopolitical risk will drive oil prices: Expert

    Oil markets (CL=F ,BZ=F) have experienced significant volatility as geopolitical tensions sparked a rally following Iran's ballistic missile attack on Israel. Vectis Energy Partners principal Tamar Essner joins to share her outlook on the oil market. Essner highlights the current bearish fundamentals in the oil market, noting that this is typically "a weak time of year" for the commodity. As the summer peak demand period wanes, the market enters a "shoulder season where refineries are in maintenance mode." This transition has exposed OPEC's substantial capacity that has been kept offline to "artificially lift up prices," while non-OPEC countries ramp up oil production, though Essner explains that their output is generally "independent of price." She emphasizes that oil forecasts hinge on various factors, with geopolitical tensions — particularly the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict — playing a crucial role. Essner maintains a cautious stance, stating she would need to observe Israel's response before making definitive predictions. On the fundamentals side, Essner is closely monitoring demand trends, with a particular focus China.
