AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Trade & Energy Shock: Japan logged a 301.9 billion yen trade surplus in April, even as crude oil imports from the Middle East plunged 67.2% in volume—pinned to the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Market Mood: The hit to oil helped lift risk appetite across Asia, with Japan’s Nikkei jumping about 3.6% on easing oil pressure and fresh tech optimism. AI Power Push: Toshiba began shipping test samples of a 1200V trench-gate SiC MOSFET aimed at boosting efficiency in next-gen AI data centers. Chip & Utility Dominoes: Samsung’s planned strike was averted after a late deal, while investors also digested a major NextEra–Dominion merger pitch tied to data-center-heavy grids. Policy & Politics: Japan’s government signaled it wants a consumption tax freeze on food “as soon as possible,” as the Middle East crisis threatens growth.
