Japanese Stocks Drop as Traders Assess Data

 


PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka - The Nikkei 225 Index fell 0.7% to below 38,100, while the broader Topix Index fell 0.4% to 2,677 on Friday, reversing some of the previous session’s gains.

Investors were reacting to data showing that Tokyo inflation rose above 2% in November, fueling speculation that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates next month. Markets now price in a 60% chance of a 25 basis point rate hike in December, up from about 50% a week ago.

Meanwhile, the latest data on industrial production, retail sales and employment showed signs of slowing economic activity. Technology stocks led the decline, with significant losses for Disco (-1.6%), Lasertec (-1.2%), Tokyo Electron (-2.6%), Advantest (-0.9%) and SoftBank Group (-0.7%). For the week, the Nikkei and Topix are expected to end lower, down 0.7% and 0.8%, respectively. PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka.

Japanese Shares Fall as Yen Strengthens

 

PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka - The Nikkei 225 Index dropped 0.5% to below 38,300, while the broader Topix Index lost 0.4% to 2,678 on Wednesday, extending losses from the previous session as the yen continued to strengthen amid speculation that the Bank of Japan may raise interest rates again next month. A stronger yen dampens the profit outlook for Japan’s export-driven industries and makes Japanese assets more expensive for foreign investors.

Traders are also awaiting the latest Tokyo inflation data, which is seen as a leading indicator for nationwide price trends. Export-heavy auto and consumer stocks led the decline, with notable losses from Toyota Motor (-3.1%), Honda Motor (-2.4%), Nissan Motor (-4.9%), and Fast Retailing (-0.9%). Major technology stocks also came under pressure, including Advantest (-1.3%) and Tokyo Electron (-1.7%). PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka.

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%).

Indeks Nikkei 225 Ditutup Lebih Rendah

PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka - Indeks Nikkei 225 turun 2,63% hingga ditutup pada level 38.054, sementara Indeks Topix yang lebih luas turun 1,9% menjadi 2.644 pada hari Jumat(01/11), memperpanjang kerugian dari sesi sebelumnya dan mencerminkan penurunan di Wall Street karena berita perusahaan yang mengecewakan dari Microsoft dan Meta Platforms. Saham lokal juga mengalami tekanan karena yen bangkit menyusul pernyataan yang kurang dovish dari Bank of Japan dan tanda-tanda meredanya tekanan harga di AS.

Yen yang lebih kuat merugikan prospek laba untuk industri-industri Jepang yang banyak mengekspor. Saham-saham teknologi sangat terpukul, dengan kerugian signifikan dari Advantest (-4,4%), Disco (-3,7%), Tokyo Electron (-3,9%), Hitachi (-6,2%), dan SoftBank Group (-5,6%). Selain itu, Lasertec dan Renesas Electronics anjlok masing-masing 16,4% dan 5,6%, setelah melaporkan hasil kuartalan yang lemah. Meskipun mengalami kerugian pada hari itu, indeks acuan tersebut mengakhiri minggu dengan kenaikan kecil, mengakhiri penurunan selama dua minggu berturut-turut.(ayu) PT Rifan Financindo Berjangka.
