The Nikkei 225 Index dropped 1.3% to below 48,700 while the broader Topix Index fell 0.6% to 3,245 on Thursday, with Japanese shares retreating from record highs and tracking sharp losses on Wall Street overnight. US stocks fell sharply following reports that the White House may restrict exports to China involving US software. President Donald Trump later said his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping is “scheduled,” easing some tension over US-China ties. In Japan, investors weighed the policy outlook amid speculation that new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is preparing a major stimulus package exceeding last year’s 13.9 trillion yen. SoftBank Group led losses, plunging 4% after unveiling plans to issue US dollar- and euro-denominated bonds to finance AI investments. Other notable decliners included Advantest (-3.3%), Lasertec (-4.5%) and Disco Corp (-4.9%).

Japanese Shares Track Wall Street Losses

Brent crude oil futures jumped nearly 3% to above $64 per barrel on Thursday, reaching a two-week high, following the US announcement of sanctions on key Russian oil companies. The US has blacklisted state-owned giants Rosneft PJSC and Lukoil PJSC, a move aimed at increasing pressure on the Kremlin amid Moscow’s lack of commitment to peace in Ukraine. Rosneft, led by Putin ally Igor Sechin, and Lukoil together account for nearly half of Russia’s oil exports, about 2.2 million barrels per day, with oil and gas revenues making up roughly a quarter of the federal budget. After the sanctions, Trump said he would press major buyers, planning to discuss Russian oil imports with Chinese President Xi Jinping next week, following his reiteration that India would reduce its purchases. Elsewhere, EU countries have agreed on a new Russian sanctions package, scheduled for adoption Thursday.

Oil Jumps 3% on US Sanctions

The European Union has approved a 19th package of sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine, including a ban on Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports, the Danish presidency of the EU said on Wednesday (Oct 22). “We are very pleased to announce that we have just been notified by the remaining member state that it is now able to lift its reservation on the 19th sanctions package,” the presidency said in a statement, as reported by Reuters. The LNG ban will take effect in two stages: short-term contracts will end after six months, and long-term contracts will end on Jan 1, 2027. The timeline brings the EU’s full LNG embargo forward by a year from the European Commission’s previous roadmap to end dependence on Russian fossil fuels. The package also adds travel restrictions on Russian diplomats and sanctions against 117 vessels from Moscow’s “shadow fleet,” mostly oil tankers, bringing the total to 558 ships.
