AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Markets & FX: The U.S. dollar held near a two-month high as Fed rate-hike bets intensified, pushing pressure onto the yen; Asian stocks stayed steady while oil slipped after the U.S.-Iran interim peace deal. Japan Stocks: Japan’s Nikkei surged past 71,000 on the same risk-on mood, with semiconductors and AI-linked shares leading. Energy & Shipping: Oil prices fell further as the deal points to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, though transit limits were reported. Public Health: Japan issued a nationwide Japanese encephalitis alert after the virus’s genetic material was detected in Daegu, with authorities monitoring mosquito vectors. World Cup Security: Mexico’s military reportedly shot down an “unregistered drone” near South Korea’s training camp, which the South Korea coach called unfortunate. Transport: JR Central says private-room Shinkansen seats on the Tokyo–Osaka route will start in October, from 42,100 yen one-way. Business & Trade: Japan’s Takaichi is set to visit India’s Assam with executives from 50+ Japanese firms to push new investment ties. Sports & Safety: Japan recorded a record 3,623 mountaineering accident cases in 2025, with 332 deaths or missing.
