Nikkei 225 Surges Near 20% Yearly, Logs Best Year Since 1989

 

PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka - The Nikkei 225 dipped 383 points or near 1% to end at 39,894 on the last trading day of 2024, snapping two-day gains amid some profit-taking after the index hit a five-month peak last week.

Investors seemed unsettled as they could not find clear reasons for the Nikkei to cross the 40,000 level. The biggest percentage loser on the index was Nissan Motor, slipping by 6.4%. Meanwhile, chip-testing equipment maker Advantest was down by 2.5%. Makino Milling Machine's shares were untraded after a surprise unsolicited takeover bid by Japanese manufacturing giant Nidec.

Nevertheless, markets jumped 4.4% for the month, bringing an almost 20% jump for the full 2024, the best year since 1989, buoyed by strong corporate earnings and a weaker yen boosting export-oriented sectors. Meanwhile, the broader index fell 0.6% but logged gains of 3.8% for the month and 17.6% for the year. The Japanese markets will resume activity on January 6 after closing for the New Year holidays from the next session. PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka.

Japan Stocks Fluctuate as Banks Gain on Yields; Exporters Fall

 

PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka - Japanese stocks fluctuate between gains and losses on the last trading session of the year in Tokyo as higher US yields supported banks, while a slump on Wall Street weighed on exporters. 

Topix rose 0.1% to 2,803.91 as of 9:30 a.m. Tokyo time

Nikkei 225 declined 0.3% to 40,141.08

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group contributed the most to the Topix’s gain, increasing 1.4%. Out of 2,124 stocks in the benchmark index, 1,231 rose and 730 fell, while 163 were unchanged.

“US stocks are falling, led by technology stocks, due to profit-taking after the large annual gains and the impact of rising interest rates, and Japanese stocks in the morning are likely to follow this trend,” said Shoji Hirakawa, chief global strategist at Tokai Tokyo Intelligence Lab. 

“However, rising US interest rates indicate that the US economy is firming up, and this will be a tailwind for Japan’s economy-sensitive stocks,” he said.

Tokyo’s stock market will be closed from Tuesday for year-end holidays and reopen on Jan. 6. PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka.

Japan Index Drops Amid Holiday Constraints

 

PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka - The Topix fell 0.5% to 2,714.12 as of 9:28 a.m. in Tokyo.

The Nikkei was little changed at 39,033.72.

Japan’s Topix fell as automakers and banks weighed on the benchmark index amid holiday constraints.

Toyota Motor contributed the most to the Topix decline, dropping 1.4%. Of the 2,125 stocks in the index, 689 rose and 1,247 fell, while 189 were unchanged.

“There are almost no market players, so it’s unlikely the market will show any direction,” said Mitsushige Akino, president of Ichiyoshi Asset Management. “There’s a reversal in the market, and industrial types that have performed well so far are being sold off.”

Investors will be watching a speech by the Bank of Japan governor later in the day for clues on the central bank’s next interest rate hike. PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka.

Japan Stocks End 6-Day Decline as Honda Gains on Nissan Merger

 

PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka - Japan’s stocks rose to end a six-day decline as carmakers and semiconductor-related names gained on a weaker yen. Banks also pushed the market higher as traders weighed the outlook for higher borrowing costs. 

The Topix rose 0.9% to 2,726.74 at market close.

The Nikkei advanced 1.2% to 39,161.34.

Toyota Motor contributed the most to the Topix’s gain, increasing 2.4%, while its peer Honda Motor also advanced. Honda and Nissan Motor are looking to finalize a merger agreement as soon as June after negotiations begin later Monday, and may combine in 2026, Japanese media reported, citing unidentified sources.

“Traders are looking for Japan-specific clues to trade stocks,” said Masahiro Yamaguchi, a senior market analyst at SMBC Trust Bank. Lenders are up but “the BOJ’s cautious stance toward a rate hike may weigh on the bank stocks.”

Japanese Shares Dip on Strong Inflation Data

 

PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka - The Nikkei 225 Index dropped 0.29% to close at 38,702, while the broader Topix Index fell 0.44% to 2,702 on Friday, marking the sixth consecutive session of losses as investors reacted to stronger-than-expected inflation data.

Japan's headline inflation rate rose to a three-month high of 2.9% in November, up from 2.3% in October, while the core inflation rate increased to 2.7%, surpassing market expectations of 2.6%. These figures support a hawkish outlook for Bank of Japan (BOJ) monetary policy. However, the BOJ chose to keep rates unchanged at its December meeting, citing the need to assess wage trends, global economic uncertainties, and the policies of the incoming US administration.

Technology, industrial, and consumer stocks led the decline. Over the week, the Nikkei and Topix indexes lost 1.95% and 1.62%, respectively. PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka.

Japan’s Shares Gain Slightly as Weak Yen Post-BOJ Aids Exporters

 

PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka - Japanese shares are rising slightly on Friday as the yen’s weakening on dovish signals from the Bank of Japan supported export-related sectors such as automakers, steel producers and shippers.

The Topix Index rose 0.2% to 2,719.63 as of 9:30 a.m. Tokyo time

The Nikkei advanced 0.2% to 38,880.21

Toyota Motor Corp. contributed the most to the Topix Index’s gain, increasing 2.8%. Out of 2,126 stocks in the index, 1,195 rose and 775 fell, while 156 were unchanged.

With key domestic and overseas monetary policy events out of the way, domestic demand-linked sectors such as builders and pharmaceuticals were also firm.

Bank shares fell after the BOJ left interest rates unchanged Thursday and its Governor Kazuo Ueda cast doubt on whether the bank could hike rates in January. The yen is extending its losses, weakening 0.2% against the dollar after tumbling 1.7% on Thursday.

“Today’s Japanese stocks are likely to have a slightly positive tone due to the yen’s depreciation and the fact that the sharp decline in US stocks after the FOMC meeting has paused,” said Masahiro Ichikawa, chief market strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui DS Asset Management. “Although the yen’s depreciation isn’t likely to be sustained, exchange rates aren’t at levels that would pose concerns for Japanese corporate earnings.” PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka.

Japanese Shares Fall After Wall Street Selloff

 

PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka - The Nikkei 225 Index fell 1% to below 38,700, while the broader Topix Index fell 0.5% to 2,706 on Thursday, hitting a three-week low. The declines mirrored a sharp selloff on Wall Street after the U.S. Federal Reserve signaled fewer interest rate cuts in 2025 than previously expected. The Fed now expects just two rate cuts next year, down from the four projected in its September outlook. Investors also remained cautious ahead of the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy decision later in the day.

The central bank is likely to hold off on raising interest rates as policymakers assess the latest economic data. Technology stocks were the hardest hit, with significant losses for Advantest (-4.5%), SoftBank Group (-4.3%), and Tokyo Electron (-2.5%). Other major stocks also fell, including Honda Motor (-1.3%), Toyota Motor (-1.3%), and Sony Group (-0.9%). PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka.

Nikkei 225 Falls for Fourth Day Ahead of Fed; Nissan ADRs Gain

 

PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka - Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell for a fourth day as investors were cautious ahead of both Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan monetary policy decisions. A drop in US semiconductor stocks also dragged on the market. 

Nikkei declined 0.2% to 39,275.88 as of 9:07 a.m. Tokyo time

The Topix Index little changed at 2,726.90

Out of 2,126 stocks in the index, 819 rose and 1,132 fell, while 175 were unchanged

Should the market start to reduce expectations for Fed rate cuts into next year, it’s difficult to predict how US stocks will react, and this is weighing on Japanese equities, said Mitsushige Akino, president of Ichiyoshi Asset Management. 

Nissan Motor and Honda Motor ADRs rose on news they’re exploring a potential merger, according to people familiar with the matter, which would better position a combined company to face global competitive challenges. PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka.

Meanwhile, the outlook for Bank of Japan monetary policy remains highly uncertain, with markets divided over whether the central bank will raise rates again in December or January.

Japanese Stocks Struggle Amid Global Uncertainty

 

PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka - The Nikkei 225 and Topix indexes showed limited movement on Monday (12/9), as global political instability weighed on financial markets.

Domestically, Japan's third-quarter economic growth was revised up, indicating the country's second straight quarter of expansion.

Hang Seng Index Falls 0.9% at Finish

 

PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka - The Hang Seng dipped 182 points or 0.9% to close at 19,560 on Thursday after a subdued session the day before, burdened by losses across sectors.

Investor unease mounted regarding China's policy outlook ahead of an upcoming central economic working forum and the Politburo gathering next week. A new round of US-China tech curbs and fears about additional trade disputes also unsettled markets.

Some economists warned that China's recovery momentum during Q4 could slow in H1 2025, partly due to the impact of a new US administration. Political turmoil in South Korea and France further contributed to market volatility, along with caution before Chinese trade data, set to be released over the weekend.

Capping further declines were Fed Chair Powell's latest comments on the US economy and a surge in US tech stocks Wednesday, ahead of Friday's NFP data.

The fact that tighter monetary policy and interest-rate hikes are probably becoming unavoidable are weighing on the Topix index, he said.

Saham Jepang Jatuh karena Yen Melemah di Tengah Kemenangan Trump

 

PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka - Saham Jepang merosot pada hari Kamis karena yen merosot ke level terendah sejak Juli, dengan kemenangan Donald Trump dalam pemilihan presiden AS yang memicu ekspektasi yen yang lebih lemah karena agenda ekonomi ekspansifnya.

Nikkei 225 turun 0,25% hingga ditutup pada 39.381,41.

Kebijakan ekonomi Trump dipandang lebih ekspansif dan inflasioner daripada Harris, mengurangi kemungkinan pemotongan suku bunga Federal Reserve yang agresif.

Pasar Jepang, yang terkenal karena ukuran dan likuiditasnya, mengalami perdagangan yang besar dalam pasangan dolar-yen selama jam-jam Asia.

Yen turun 1,6% menjadi 153,98 per dolar di Tokyo, meningkatkan biaya impor dan menambah tekanan pada bank sentral untuk mempertimbangkan menaikkan suku bunga, yang semakin mempersulit masalah bagi Partai Demokrat Liberal yang berkuasa setelah kekalahannya dalam pemilihan DPR baru-baru ini.

Dalam pembaruan ekonomi, pendapatan tunai Jepang pada bulan September naik 2,8% tahun-ke-tahun menjadi 292.551 yen, kata Kementerian Kesehatan, menyusul kenaikan 3% pada bulan Agustus.

Pendapatan kontraktual naik 2,4%, sementara pendapatan khusus melonjak 16,1%.

Perusahaan dengan 30 atau lebih karyawan mengalami kenaikan pendapatan tunai 3,6% menjadi 328.230 yen, meskipun upah lembur turun 0,4% untuk perusahaan dengan lima atau lebih karyawan.

Dalam pergerakan perusahaan, Hoshino Resorts REIT (TYO:3287) mengunci suku bunga pinjaman sebesar 980 juta yen, dengan pinjaman sebesar 800 juta yen dari Mizuho Bank sebesar 1,405% hingga April 2032 dan pinjaman sebesar 180 juta yen sebesar 1,486% hingga Oktober 2032.(ayu)  PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka.

Investor memantau dengan saksama pemilihan presiden AS, dengan hasil awal menunjukkan Donald Trump memegang keunggulan kuat dengan 95 suara elektoral, sementara Kamala Harris telah mengamankan 35 suara elektoral sejauh ini.

Di sisi domestik, survei swasta mengungkapkan bahwa sentimen di antara produsen Jepang melemah pada bulan November, didorong oleh kekhawatiran atas melemahnya permintaan Tiongkok dan tekanan inflasi yang sedang berlangsung. Investor sekarang menunggu risalah Bank Jepang dari pertemuan kebijakan terbarunya untuk panduan tentang potensi kenaikan suku bunga lebih lanjut. Saham teknologi memimpin kenaikan pasar, dengan kenaikan penting dari Disco (+1,4%), Advantest (+4,5%), dan Tokyo Electron (+1,3%).

Gubernur Bank Jepang Kazuo Ueda mengatakan pada hari Kamis bahwa pasar mata uang telah memberikan dampak besar pada perekonomian, yang menunjukkan potensi kenaikan suku bunga lagi dalam beberapa bulan mendatang.

"Saham akan bereaksi negatif dalam jangka pendek terhadap kekuatan yen" tetapi setiap kemungkinan kenaikan suku bunga berarti kita berada dalam lingkungan di mana ekonomi sedang memanas menuju target inflasi 2%, kata Masahiro Ichikawa, kepala strategi pasar di Sumitomo Mitsui DS Asset Management Co.

Nasdaq 100 turun 2,4% pada hari Kamis karena prospek mengecewakan dari Microsoft Corp. dan Meta Platforms Inc. memicu kekhawatiran bahwa lonjakan hampir 45% pada perusahaan-perusahaan besar yang telah mendorong pasar saham mungkin sudah pada batasnya.(mrv) PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka.
