Storm's toll
The rains, described as unprecedented, hit Japan this week. Six people died. Power outages affected more than 20,000 households, and at Narita, 7,000 people were stranded as flights and trains were canceled. The immediate damage is localized, but the timing is rough: global markets are already trading cautiously, and any fresh risk-off headline can tip the scales. Japan's economy is resilient, and the government is expected to manage recovery efficiently, but the human cost is real.
