Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds.

00:00:01

Recently, I asked Mint Mobile's legal team, if big wireless companies are allowed to raise prices due to inflation.

00:00:07

They said yes.

00:00:08

And then when I asked if raising prices technically violates those owners to your contracts, they said, "What the f**k are you talking about?

00:00:14

You insane Hollywood s**t."

00:00:16

So to recap, we're cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month to just $15 a month.

00:00:22

Give it a try at MintMobile.com/switch.

00:00:24

$45 up from payment equivalent to $15 per month, new customers on first three month plan only, taxes and fees extra, speed slower above 40 gigabyte CDTLs.

Here is your morning brief for Friday, January 24th, I'm Kate Bolivan, for the Wall Street Journal.

00:00:41

The Bank of Japan has resumed rate hikes, lifting its key interest rate to 0.5% today, as the economy advances toward a target of stable 2% inflation and wage-backed growth.

00:00:54

More clarity on U.S.

00:00:55

policy under President Trump had been a key consideration for central bankers and Japanese markets and the yen have stayed relatively calm in the wake of his return to office.

00:01:07

Boeing says it lost roughly $4 billion in the most recent quarter, with a machine strike, costs related to job cuts and unprofitable Pentagon projects taking a hit on its results.

00:01:20

Yesterday's warning means the jetmaker will have lost around $12 billion for 2024.

00:01:26

Boeing stocks slipped in off-hours trading.

00:01:29

And Pete Hegseth's nomination for defense secretary heads to a confirmation vote today in the Senate, where he faces a razor-thin margin.

00:01:38

That's after centrist GOP senators Lisa Mikowsky of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine said they opposed the nomination yesterday, raising questions about Hegseth's character and his ability to run the Pentagon.

00:01:53

If Democrats unite against him today, he can't afford more than three no votes from his own party.

00:02:00

Asian stocks have ended the day mixed, European stocks are also divided in mid-day trading, and in the U.S.

00:02:07

stock futures a little changed ahead of earnings from Verizon and American Express.
