Art as an Investment: Auctions Mark Strong Returns
A look at recent big sales and long term data argues fine art can outperform stocks and bonds. Michael Moses finds art returns of 12 to 20 percent over five to ten years across major auctions, while the S and P 500 tops around 11 percent. Smaller, affordable works may not yield similar gains.

Japan Banks Post Strong Earnings on Low Rates Boost
Tokyo banks reported robust first half profits as record-low interest rates cut funding costs and bond trading raised income. While many banks expect weaker full-year results or losses, efforts to dispose of bad loans and government plans to tackle nonperforming assets underpin earnings. Daiwa Bank led gains with a 121 percent rise in operating profits. Sakura Fuji Tokai Asahi Sumitomo climbed 50 to 75 percent.
