Berkshire appears set to exit BYD (1211 HK) partially or in full. But why signal to market well in advance?

United Tractors (UNTR IJ)'s buyback should be impactful. They could do another one afterwards as they have lots of cash. This is a raging buy. Buy now. With both hands.
The BOJ was expected to change its ETF allocations. It stopped buying Nikkei 225 and JPX Nikkei 400 ETFs. As the world moves more to passive, expect float to decrease.

The Link Administration (LNK AU) Board will not recommend Dye&amp;Durham/DND’s revised lower offer of A$4.57 per share due to shareholder feedback, the underlying value and alternative options.
The slightly above guidance is designed to show that Link's contribution to DND's build a billion objective remains on track and there is little chance of triggering the MAC clause.
DND needs to secure a deal this week to use its attractive deal financing, according to AFR. This could be the cue for DND to give a little more.
