12.08.2025 โ‡ข Nikkei Ascended Peaks
โŒจJapanese media editorial priorities for August 12 heavily featured the Nikkei stock average, which continuously reported new record highs throughout the day. Initially, the surge was attributed to receding US tariff concerns and optimism surrounding Japan-US tariff negotiations, also influenced by the extended US-China trade truce. The focus broadened to include earnings optimism, Trump trade deal confidence, and investor selectivity favoring AI over lagging auto stocks due to tariff resistance. Concurrently, domestic weather evolved from earlier heavy rain warnings in Kyushu to widespread scorching Obon holidays. A significant domestic development was renewed heavy rain cutting off roads in the Noto Peninsula, a region still recovering. Later, reports emerged on the government's plan for mass deployment of defense drones.
