Japanese media: The Bank of Japan is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points next week, with the pace of hikes potentially accelerating to "once per quarter."

Expectations of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan are intensifying, with Japanese media reporting that the central bank may raise rates by 25 basis points to 1.25% at next week's meeting. The pace of tightening could also accelerate from once every six months to once per quarter. Yen depreciation and rising oil prices have pushed up inflation, serving as key drivers for an accelerated policy shift, although internal divisions remain within the central bank regarding the path of rate hikes.

Assess the underlying resilience of semiconductor and AI-related stocks following a round of selling.

With limited flow from overseas investors and little direction from European markets due to their lack of clear cues, trading is likely to remain stagnant. Amid subdued active trading, investors are likely to look for buying opportunities on dips, assessing the underlying strength of semiconductor stocks.

Mitsui shares fell sharply after a U.S. securities firm downgraded the stock, citing a lack of visible catalysts.

The stock experienced a sharp decline. JPMorgan Securities downgraded its investment rating from "Overweight" to "Neutral" and lowered its target share price from 6,650 yen to 5,700 yen. While the current stock price level does not appear overvalued, the firm noted a lack of visible catalysts. Although the new medium-term management plan made the growth strategy, including capital policy, less clear, concerns regarding this aspect were not fully dispelled by the first-quarter earnings results. Additionally, the assumption that resource prices generally will trend downward is another factor making it difficult to maintain a bullish outlook.
