Nikkei Ends Lower On Bearish Asian Markets, Profit-TakingTOKYO (NQN)--Tokyo stocks retreated for the first time in five trading days Wednesday, with the Nikkei Stock Average sliding 43.18 points, or 0.31%, to end the day at 14,055.56. Investor sentiment worsened slightly in response to bearish sentiment in Asia, particularly in Shanghai. Investors were also locking in gains in reaction to a four-day rise in the benchmark index through Tuesday. The dollar's appreciation to above 100 yen prompted buying of exporters, pushing up the Nikkei average at one point. The trading value on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange totaled about 2.32 trillion yen on a preliminary basis.

Nikkei Opens Higher As Dollar Tops Y100TOKYO (NQN)--Tokyo stocks opened higher Wednesday, with the Nikkei Stock Average climbing 51.25 points to begin the day at 14,149.99. The dollar's rise to the upper-100 yen level is prompting buying of exporters. However, the upward momentum in stocks will likely be slowed by moves to lock in gains from the benchmark index's climb of more than 1,200 points over the four trading days through Tuesday.

Stronger Dollar Helps Tokyo Shares Extend Rally To 4 DaysTOKYO--Tokyo stocks rose for the fourth straight session Tuesday, refreshing a one-month high, as a stronger dollar, a brighter economic outlook and inflation expectations lifted exporters, retailers and real estate developers. The Nikkei Stock Average rose 246.24 points, or 1.8%, to 14,098.74 following Monday's 1.3% rise. The index has now gained over 1,200 points (9.9%) in the last four sessions. The Topix index of all the Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section issues also added 21.14 points, or 1.8%, to 1,171.84 with all 33 subindexes ending in positive territory. The dollar edged up, moving in the upper Y99 range, continuing its gradual ascent since June 17. Participation levels were still somewhat light with 3.02 billion shares changed hands. Traders said relative stability in the exchange rate and a dollar's steady uptrend offered a boost to exporters while a better economic outlook and expectations for business growth on the back of 'Abenomics' reflationary policies also provided a tailwind. " As markets normalize according to regional interest rate differentials, the dollar should continue to recover, helping the Nikkei to move steadily higher," said Yoshihiro Okumura, general manager at Chibagin Asset Management. Real estate-related shares also gained on persistent asset valuation hopes Mitsubishi Estate ended up 4.2% at Y2,748, and Mitsui Fudosan finished up 3.4% at Y3,030. " As worries over the U.S. Fed's stance on stimulus tapering ease and investors return to the fact that the BOJ has just begun its own aggressive easing program, shares connected to asset-inflation are continuing to benefit," said Mr. Okumura, noting that despite relatively high valuations for land developers, further upside remains possible. The quarterly BOJ tankan survey of business sentiment released on Monday continued to have a positive effect on investor sentiment as seen in the rise of steel makers. September Nikkei 225 futures closed up 260 points, or 1.9%, at 14,130 on the Osaka Securities Exchange. |

Nikkei Ends Up For 3rd Straight Day, Hits 1-Month HighTOKYO (NQN)--Tokyo stocks closed higher for the third straight trading day Monday, with the Nikkei Stock Average rising 175.18 points, or 1.3%, to end the day at 13,582.50, its highest point in about a month. The dollar's appreciation against the yen and an upbeat tankan business sentiment survey prompted buying in the early going. The Nikkei average briefly fell in reaction to China's lower purchasing manager's index. But investors began buying back Nikkei Stock Average futures in the view that the market will remain resilient. The Shanghai Composite Index resisted further declines, adding momentum to Tokyo stocks. The trading value on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange totaled 2.039 trillion yen on a preliminary basis.

Nikkei Opens Higher On Dollar's Rise, June TankanTOKYO (NQN)--Tokyo stocks opened higher Monday, with the Nikkei Stock Average climbing 69 points to begin the day at 13,746 before trimming its gains slightly. The dollar's appreciation to the mid-99 yen level for the first time in nearly a month is spurring investors to buy carmakers and other blue-chip exporters. Also pushing up the Nikkei average are the stronger-than-expected results of the June tankan quarterly survey of business sentiment, which the Bank of Japan released before the bell.

Nikkei Ends Up 3.5% 1-Month High On Dlr, Wall Street GainsTOKYO (NQN)--Tokyo stocks closed higher Friday, with the Nikkei Stock Average jumping 463.77 points, or 3.51%, to end the day at 13,677.32. The benchmark index marked its third-largest increase this year and reached its highest point since May 31. Overnight gains on Wall Street and the dollar's rise versus the yen contributed to the Nikkei index's strong rally. Also providing support were overseas investors, who continued their buying from the previous day as they sought to boost the value of their stockholdings ahead of the June book-closing. With heavy buying of stock index futures by speculative investors, the Nikkei average was up by more than 500 points in the afternoon, closing slightly below the session high. Trading value on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange totaled 2.60 trillion yen on a preliminary basis.

Nikkei Tops 13,500 On Speculative BuyingTOKYO (NQN)--Tokyo stocks are adding to their gains midway through the morning session Friday, with the Nikkei Stock Average rising more than 300 points to cross the 13,500 line during trading hours for the first time since June 11. There is little improvement in market conditions, however. Off-and-on buying of stock index futures is pushing up the overall market, while overseas investors place speculative buy orders to boost stocks before they close their books at the end of June. Short-term players are also placing speculative buy orders on expectations Tokyo stocks will end the day sharply higher. At 10 a.m., the trading value on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange totaled about 687.7 billion yen, with 913.78 million shares changing hands. Advancers outnumbered decliners 1,497 to 141. Sixty-five issues were flat. |

BlackRock, the world?s largest asset manager, has remained bullish on
Japan, according to Russ Koesterich, BlackRock?s Global Investment
Strategist. In a media briefing Thursday, Koesterich continued to
recommend what he called ?the Japan trade?: buying Japanese equities and
selling the yen.
He acknowledged that it?s far from a safe investment, noting recent volatility in Japanese equities. ?It?s not guaranteed because of uncertainty over whether they will deliver on reforms,? Koesterich said. Japan?s three-pronged plan ? often called ?Abenomics?, after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ? involves 1. monetary stimulus aimed at getting the nation?s inflation rate up to 2%, 2. fiscal stimulus to boost the economy in the short-term, and 3. structural reform of its industry regulation. That has pushed Japanese stocks higher and the yen weaker for much of the year, though a reversal occured between mid-May and mid-June. But BlackRock isn?t phased. In a mid-year outlook update published today, Koesterich and fellow strategists write: ?We see this as a temporary reset, and remain fans of (hedged) Japanese stocks in the long run ? if Abe manages to bundle his third arrow with the first two.? .... |

Nikkei Opens Above 13,000 On Wall St GainsTOKYO (NQN)--Tokyo stocks opened higher Friday, with the Nikkei Stock Average rising 170 points to trade in the upper-13,300 range. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 114 points overnight, logging gains of more than 100 points for the third day in a row. A globally bullish sentiment and the dollar's rise to the mid-98 yen level are prompting investors to buy a broad range of issues. Stock index futures are rising on speculation that overseas institutional investors are aiming to push up stock prices before they close their books at the end of June. This is also helping the benchmark Nikkei average advance.

The Nikkei and Shanghai Comp - Unlikely Companions ....Japan's blue-chip stock index doesn't usually take its cue from China's stock market but that has changed this week as the Shanghai Composite slumped to its lowest level in more than four years. While the sell-off in the Nikkei has not been as marked as the one in Shanghai this week, analysts say the drubbing in Chinese stocks has come at a bad time for Japanese shares which were showing signs of a rebound after falling sharply from a five-and-a-half-year high hit in May. " The China issue is another macro shock and all markets will respond to that," said Ben Collett, the head of Asian equities at Sunrise Brokers in Hong Kong. " The Nikkei isn't necessarily following the full scale of the sell-off in China, but there is a lack of clarity about China and that is having an impact." The Nikkei stock index is up roughly 4.8% from a two-month low hit earlier this month, but has struggled to break above the key 13,000 level this week as the Shanghai Composite tumbled as much as 10% over the course of two days. In fact, the typical pattern of trade for the Nikkei in the past two sessions has been to open higher only to be dragged lower in afternoon trade as China stocks headed south. Japan's stock market rose almost 2% in early trade on Thursday. " The Nikkei has been moving along with the Shanghai Composite. There was an expectation that the Shanghai Composite would go up [Wednesday] and Japanese futures rallied and then they fell with China," Harry Ida, senior analyst at Thomson Reuters in Tokyo told CNBC Wednesday. He added that the weakness in Chinese shares was also boosting the yen's value against the U.S. dollar, with yen strength further undermining Japanese stocks. A credit squeeze in Chinese money markets this month has raised concerns about the outlook for the world's second biggest economy, which is already showing signs of weakness. Recent data have proved to be on the weak side and a number of economists have slashed their 2013 forecasts for GDP growth. " There are a lot of companies in Japan that would suffer a lot if growth in China weakens sharply. For instance, the construction and machinery sectors, automakers and shippers," said Sunrise Brokers' Collett. " China is one of Japan's biggest trading partners so what happens there is important." Gary Evans, the global head of equity strategy at HSBC, added: " We have cut our forecasts for China growth. With interest rates spiking up, people are taking that as a cue the government is being tough on reforms." " So, in the meantime you have to expect Chinese equities to be quite volatile and quite weak," he told CNBC Asia's " Squawk Box" on Thursday. |

Tokyo Shares Extend Losses To 3 Days As China Shares TumbleTokyo stocks extended their losing streak to three days Wednesday, as bargain-buying failed to offset selloffs triggered by more Chinese market falls. The Nikkei Stock Average fell 135.33 points, or 1.0%, to 12,834.01, following a 0.7% fall Tuesday. The Topix index of all the Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section issues fell 9.38 points, or 0.9%, to 1,069.28. Just under 2.5 billion shares changed hands, totaling Y1.9 trillion, indicating an absence of major players. As of the close of TSE trading at 0600 GMT, the dollar was seen changing hands at Y97.49. Tumbling China shares heightened a sense of risk and investors began selling China-related shares, while bargain-hunters began losing appetite to buy back exporters. " Jitters over Chinese banking liquidity continue to rattle investors, while the switch to 'risk-off' sentiment is in some cases trumping the stronger dollar," said an equity analyst at a foreign brokerage. Worries over China's credit crunch and volatility in China shares will continue to affect the Nikkei negatively, however, below 13,000 will spur dip-buying, supporting the floor, said Yoshihiro Okumura, general manager for research at Chibagin Asset Management. While most auto shares outperformed with Toyota Motor up 0.5% at Y5,700 and Hino Motors up 5.1% at Y1,365, higher exposure to Chinese market pushed Nissan Motor down 1.2% to Y972. Techs were largely weak Tokyo Electron losing 4.3% to Y4,700 and Canon shedding 2.0% to Y3,185. Banks were one of the better performers with Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group ending up 0.6% at Y4,290. September Nikkei 225 futures closed down 160 points, or 1.2%, at 12,780 on the Osaka Securities Exchange. |

Nikkei Opens Higher, Recovering 13,000 On Wall St Gains ....Tokyo stocks opened higher Wednesday, with the Nikkei Stock Average climbing 183 points to recover the 13,000 line before moving around the mid-13,100 range. The benchmark index jumped 200 points at one time. Wall Street rose overnight on the back of improved economic data, including a climb in the U.S. consumer confidence index for June to its highest level in five years and five months. That momentum is carrying over to the Tokyo market. Shares in companies that do a lot of business in China, including Komatsu Ltd. and Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., are trading higher after coming under selling pressure the previous day.

Nikkei Seesaws Early On Concerns Over China Stocks ....TOKYO (NQN)--Tokyo stocks opened higher Tuesday, with the Nikkei Stock Average climbing 18 points to begin the day at 13,081. After buying ran its course, the benchmark index briefly fell into negative territory. Stocks are trading around the break-even point, recovering from Monday's sharp fall. Upward momentum appears limited, however, because investors are cautious about Chinese stocks, which plunged Monday.
