Japan's leading financial firms are vying for roles in what could be the largest buyout deal in history. Itochu Corp. has engaged Daiwa Securities Group Inc., while the founding Ito family has selected SMBC Nikko Securities Inc. as financial advisers for their ¥9 trillion ($58.4 billion) bid to take Seven & i Holdings Co. private.
The SMI showed strength in pre-market trading, with the euro gaining against the franc. Japanese stocks are influenced by foreign factors, as noted by Fumio Matsumoto of Okasan Securities, with Fast Retailing rising 2.9% and Tokyo Electron up 3.6%. However, Advantest's 1.33% decline weighed on the Nikkei, despite SoftBank's 3.72% gain.
India is set to finalize a carbon credit deal with Japan by early 2025, with plans to pursue similar agreements with South Korea and Singapore. As the world's third-largest carbon dioxide emitter, India aims to attract investment and technology for pollution mitigation projects that will generate carbon credits.
Shares in Japanese train operators Keisei Electric Railway Co. and Keikyu Corp. surged on reports that activist investor Yoshiaki Murakami's fund has acquired stakes in both companies. Keisei's stock rose over 18%, marking its largest intraday increase since October 2008, while Keikyu climbed more than 16%, the highest since 1987. The fund holds nearly 5% of Keikyu and less than 1% of Keisei.
UBS Global Wealth Management anticipates a positive outlook for US equities in 2025, driven by resilient growth and lower interest rates, with a focus on tech, utilities, and financial sectors. The firm also sees opportunities in AI-linked semiconductors and emphasizes the potential of diversified exposure to Asia, particularly India and Indonesia, amid geopolitical tensions. Additionally, UBS GWM projects the S&P 500 could reach 6,600 by year-end 2025, while gold is expected to hit new highs due to ongoing economic uncertainties.
Trump has appointed hedge fund manager Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary, leveraging his investment expertise to navigate a slowing global economy and the dollar's status. Bessent advocates for bank deregulation and supports a friendlier approach to cryptocurrency, earning praise from Republicans and Wall Street figures, while facing criticism from Democrats and progressive groups for his ties to the financial elite.
The USD/JPY exchange rate may see a pullback as Japanese inflation raises expectations for a Bank of Japan rate hike, with a 76% probability of a 25 basis point increase in December. Additionally, a potential Fed rate cut could further pressure the dollar, influencing the currency pair's movement. Technical analysis indicates a stabilization at a four-month high, with key support levels at 152 and 150.
India is unlikely to import Shinkansen bullet trains from Japan due to stalled price negotiations and changes in project norms. Instead, the focus has shifted to a Make-in-India approach, with a contract awarded to BEML Ltd and Medha Servo Drives in September 2024. Ongoing discussions with Japan have not reached a consensus on pricing or test run timelines, complicating the project further.
