Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda explained the decision to raise interest rates at the end of last month to the parliament this morning (23 August). He reaffirmed his resolve to lift interest rates if inflation could sustainably hit the 2% target, but reminded that the central bank would maintain a high degree of vigilance on the market trend as the local and overseas markets were still unstable.

As the yen rallied 0.5% in the Asian session, USD/JPY dropped to 145.51, and 100JPY/HKD last printed at 5.352. Opening 67 points higher this morning, the Nikkei once surged 159 points to peak at 38,370 in the early session, but then receded 93 points, or 0.2%, in half a day to close at 38,117.

Major banks/brokers delivered soft performance. Mizuho slipped slightly. Nomura, Resona Holdings, and Mitsubishi UFJ edged down 0.2-0.3%, while Sumitomo Mitsui slid 0.9%. Daiwa Securities inched up 0.1%.

Heavyweights/hot stocks diverged. SoftBank and Rakuten inched down 0.1-0.2%. Shiseido and Sony shed 0.8% respectively. TEPCO declined 1.4%. Tokyo Electron lost 2.7%. Fast Retailing and oil stock ENEOS added 0.7-0.8%.

Major car stocks rose modestly across the board. Nissan, Mitsubishi Motors, and Honda slightly climbed 0.2-0.5%, but Toyota fell marginally.
