The dollar has reached the mark of 86 yen by the begining of August 2010. Japanese analysts see the dollar at 90-100 yen as reasonable for Japan's export based companies. One factor causing this is the Chinese government increasing its holding of Japanese government bonds. By May 2010 China had accumulated 1.27 trillion yen according to the Japanese government. This rise of the yen will have a negative effect on Japanese exporting companies.

Toyota's first quarter profit of $2.2 billion is a result of profits from its USA auto finance division, cost cuts and rising sales. But Toyota still faces some rough patches in the road ahead. First the rising yen at 85 yen to a dollar in the beginning of August 2010 will be one hurdle as it tries to regain export markets - Toyota has used 90 yen to a dollar in its full year forecast. Another problem is the Japanese market which is expected to slow down after incentives expire. Because Toyota has more capacity in Japan this will mean more underutilized capacity. Japanese car buying incentives expire in September. These incentives led to sales being 23% higher in the first quarter, but Toyota forecasts full year sales to fall by 9%. Another problem is regaining market share in the USA and the aging demographics of traditional Toyota buyers.

An oil spill off the city of Dalian on China's northern coastline. An explosion breaks a pipe linking a PetroChina oil tanker to an onshore storage facility. The Dalian government used a volunteer cleanup effort with $44 for each barrel of oil recovered. Little planning went into the recovery from the oil spill and the government and PetroChina estimates of the spill were very understated.
