The Tokyo Stock Exchange was closed today (Monday, October 13) for Health and Sports Day, so the benchmark level is based on the Nikkei 225's final close of 48,088.80 (-1.01%) on Friday (October 10). Trading continued in derivatives, but sentiment remained fragile following Asian turmoil due to renewed US-China trade tensions following Washington's threat of new tariffs. This has dampened risk appetite in the region, although US futures have attempted a rebound.
In Japan, the market is also monitoring political uncertainty following the collapse of the LDP-Komeito coalition and the dynamics of the leadership succession, which could impact fiscal policy/reforms. The combination of tariff headlines and domestic politics has curbed buying interest in Japanese risk assets, while some market participants are choosing to wait for new releases/signals before resuming aggressive action.
