Japanese stocks rallied, with the Nikkei 225 rising 2.8% and Topix climbing 1.4%, driven by President Trump's comments suggesting a potential peace deal with Iran. This sentiment boost lifted tech and bank sectors, while oil prices tumbled. The risk-on mood also benefited from SpaceX's record $75 billion IPO, which eased supply-demand pressures in other assets.

Japan's wholesale prices surged at the fastest pace in three years, increasing bets on a Bank of Japan rate hike. The index is testing support near 63,700, with a potential break targeting the 60,000–62,000 range.

Three High ROE Stocks With Solid Balance Sheets And Hidden Upside

Japan's wholesale inflation surged to a three-year high, with producer prices rising 6.3% in May, exceeding forecasts. This sharp increase has fueled expectations of a Bank of Japan rate hike to 1% next week, with further increases projected later this year. Consequently, major stock indices, including the TOPIX and Nikkei 225, retreated as investors weighed the inflation data against the tightening monetary policy outlook.

- Producer prices surged by 6.3% in May, representing the highest annual increase in over three years.  
- Markets expect the Bank of Japan to raise rates to 1% next week, with additional hikes anticipated later this year.  
- Major indices, including the TOPIX and Nikkei 225, closed lower as traders assessed the inflation data and policy implications.

Japan wholesale inflation hits 3-year high, stocks retreat

Citi reports that the recent correction in Japanese equities, driven by tech stocks, is unlikely to persist. The bank anticipates significant upside potential for the Nikkei and TOPIX before year-end, citing limited US long-term rate hikes, strong AI/semiconductor earnings momentum, solid prospects in other sectors, and ample global liquidity expected to flow into Japan.

The Nikkei 225 Index dropped nearly 4% intraday, extending a three-day losing streak driven by U.S. tech stock declines, strong U.S. jobs data boosting rate hike expectations, and yen weakness causing foreign capital outflows. Kioxia and SoftBank shares slumped significantly. This marks the strongest systemic correction in Asia-Pacific equities this year, with year-to-date gains narrowing as investors monitor upcoming Japanese GDP data and Bank of Japan policy decisions.
