Nikkei May Trade Rangebound; Data in Focus
Friday, 29 August 2025 07:18 WIB | NIKKEI |Nikkei 225

Japanese stocks may trade rangebound as uncertainty over the U.S. tariff impact on earnings continues. Nikkei futures are flat at 42920 on the SGX. USD/JPY is at 146.87, compared with 147.17 as of Thursday's Tokyo stock market close.

Investors are focusing on Japanese economic data, including industrial production due later, as well as domestic politics. Consumer prices, excluding volatile fresh food, rose 2.5% from a year earlier for August in Tokyo, matching a 2.5% rise expected, government data showed earlier Friday. The Nikkei Stock Average rose 0.7% to 42828.79 on Thursday. (azf)
