SINGAPORE – Asian shares slipped on Thursday after a surprise interest rate hike by Bank of Canada revived worries that U.S. rates could stay higher for longer and the Federal Reserve could remain hawkish when it meets next week. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 0.53 percent, while Japan's Nikkei edged 0.08 percent higher. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index eased 0.09 percent. The Bank of Canada (BoC) surprised markets on Wednesday by hiking its overnight rate to a 22-year high of 4.

North Korea has registered to participate in this year's Asian Games in China, a move that could potentially mark the country's comeback to the international sports stage after the COVID-19 pandemic, Kyodo reported on Wednesday. The Asian Games will take place in Hangzhou, China, from Sep. 23 to Oct. 8, a year after being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it is not known if North Korea will ease its tight COVID-19 restrictions.

A study of data from about 500,000 people in the UK Biobank has uncovered small but statistically significant associations between signs of systemic inflammation and later risk of dementia. Dr. Krisztina Mekli of The University of Manchester, UK, and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal PLOS ONE on July 19, 2023. Millions of people around the world have Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia, and researchers are working to tease out the complex mechanisms behind these conditions.
