what happened
According to TradingView, citing RTTNews and dpa-AFX, the Japanese market traded modestly higher on Thursday, extending gains from the previous three sessions. The Nikkei 225 added 183.06 points, or 0.31 percent, to 61,436.65. Exporters and index heavyweights supported the move, while the rebound on Wall Street the previous day, with the S&P 500 up 1.3 percent, set a positive tone.
Producer prices in Japan rose 0.7 percent on month in October, well above the expected 0.3 percent, and 7.1 percent on year against forecasts of 6.5 percent. Import prices jumped 19.2 percent on year. The dollar traded in the higher 159 yen range.
WTI crude for December delivery gained 1.12 percent to 87 dollars per barrel after strong remarks from Iranian leaders reduced hopes for an early reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
why it matters
Stronger producer and import prices point to cost pressure in the Japanese economy and could keep the Bank of Japan cautious for longer. For exporters, the yen and oil prices matter most, and both are tied to developments around the Strait of Hormuz.
