France Industrial Output Posts Surprise Fall

The Nikkei 225 edged up 0.06% to close at 39,811, while the broader Topix slipped 0.04% to 2,828 on Friday, with both indexes ending the session virtually flat as renewed concerns over US tariff policy dampened investor sentiment. Market caution intensified after President Donald Trump announced plans to begin issuing letters on trade matters, potentially setting unilateral tariff rates. Trump has previously threatened to raise tariffs on Japanese goods by up to 35%, citing dissatisfaction with Japan’s limited imports of American rice and automobiles. On the domestic front, household spending in Japan rose 4.7% year-over-year in May, rebounding sharply and exceeding expectations, as Tokyo ramped up efforts to boost consumption. Trading was mixed, with notable gains from Advantest (+1.4%) and Mitsubishi UFJ (+1.5%), while Disco (-2.2%) and Fujikura (-2.4%) led losses. For the week, the Nikkei declined 0.85% and the Topix fell 0.44%.

Japanese Shares End Flat Amid Tariff Uncertainty

Iron ore futures rose to around CNY 736 per tonne on Friday, hitting a seven-week high as China intensified efforts to curb aggressive price competition and counter deflationary pressures. Earlier this week, the Central Financial and Economic Affairs Commission called for stricter regulation of excessive price-cutting among companies. The move is seen as a key step to support China’s struggling steel industry, which continues to face low profit margins and persistent overcapacity. Adding to the bullish momentum, shipments from major exporters—including Australia and Brazil—have been trending lower. Recent data showed that top producers such as Rio Tinto, BHP, Fortescue, and Vale all reported month-over-month declines in export volumes. However, gains were capped by signs of weakening demand, particularly due to environmental curbs and production restrictions in Tangshan, China’s largest steel-producing city.
