AGP Executive Report

Last update: 31 minutes ago

Japan–China Diplomacy: Japan’s ambassador to China Kenji Kanasugi says he’ll use his “best efforts” to arrange a leaders’ meeting between PM Sanae Takaichi and Xi Jinping at APEC in November, aiming to lower “psychological barriers” after ties hit their lowest point. Markets & Rates: Asian trading was mixed but Japan led the rebound, with the Nikkei up about 3.1% as oil steadied; elsewhere, China slid. AI & Semiconductors: Kioxia’s market value jumped above 30tn yen on AI-driven memory demand, while Nvidia’s record results still failed to lift its stock much, keeping investors cautious. Business Deals: Orix and Qatar’s joint fund bought systems developer Nippon Information Industry. Property Watch: Central Tokyo new condo prices rose 38.9% in April, though buyers are taking longer amid weak contract rates. Energy Pressure: Japan is pushing to clear naphtha-linked construction supply bottlenecks, while global oil volatility continues to shape costs.
