日本股市周三上涨,因市场在一天假期后重新开放。日经225指数微涨0.2%,至35900点左右,而东证指数上涨0.7%,至2670点,延续了最近的涨幅。美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特的言论提振了投资者情绪,他表示,美国与日本就潜在的贸易协定进行了“实质性会谈”。然而,国内数据呈现出喜忧参半的局面——3月份工业生产下降幅度超过预期,零售销售增长低于预期。现在,人们的注意力转向了日本央行即将做出的政策决定,普遍预计央行将把利率稳定在0.5%,以衡量美国关税对日本出口导向型经济的潜在影响。涨幅最大的公司包括丰田工业(+4.7%)、三菱UFJ(+2.4%)、任天堂(+2.0%)、索尼集团(+5.2%)和Advantest(+2.1%)。
Japanese shares rose on Wednesday as markets reopened following a one-day holiday. The Nikkei 225 edged up 0.2% to around 35,900, while the broader Topix Index climbed 0.7% to 2,670, extending recent gains. Investor sentiment was buoyed by comments from US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who said the US held “substantial talks” with Japan regarding a potential trade agreement. However, domestic data provided a mixed picture—industrial production declined more than expected in March, and retail sales growth fell short of forecasts. Attention now shifts to the Bank of Japan’s upcoming policy decision, where the central bank is widely expected to keep interest rates steady at 0.5% as it gauges the potential impact of US tariffs on Japan’s export-driven economy. Leading gainers included Toyota Industries (+4.7%), Mitsubishi UFJ (+2.4%), Nintendo (+2.0%), Sony Group (+5.2%), and Advantest (+2.1%).
