विश्व अर्थतन्त्रप्रति बढ्दो चिन्ताले टोकियो सेयर बजार ओरालोTokyo Stocks Slide as Global Economic Worries and Tariff Fears Rattle Investors
काठमाडौं — विश्व अर्थतन्त्रको भविष्यप्रति बढ्दै गएको चिन्ताका बीच मंगलबार टोकियो सेयर बजारमा गिरावट आएको छ। अमेरिकाले ग्रिनल्यान्डसम्बन्धी विषयलाई लिएर कडा भन्सार शुल्क (ट्यारिफ) लगाउने चेतावनी दिएपछि लगानीकर्ता सतर्क बनेका हुन्।
दुई सय २५ कम्पनी समेटिएको मानक निक्केई स्टक एभरेज सूचकाङ्क सोमबारको तुलनामा ५९२.४७ अङ्क (१.११ प्रतिशत) घट्दै ५२,९९१.१० अङ्कमा बन्द भयो। त्यस्तै, टोपिक्स सूचकाङ्क पनि ३०.८० अङ्क (०.८४ प्रतिशत) घटेर ३,६२५.६० अङ्कमा सीमित रह्यो।
यसैबीच, जापान सरकारको १० वर्षे बेंचमार्क बन्डको प्रतिफल केही समयका लागि २.३५० प्रतिशतसम्म पुगेको थियो, जुन फेब्रुअरी १९९९ यताकै उच्च स्तर हो। विश्लेषकहरूका अनुसार प्रधानमन्त्री सानेए ताकाइचीको सरकारले सरकारी खर्च बढाउने र थप ऋण जारी गर्ने अपेक्षाले बन्ड बिक्री चाप बढ्दा प्रतिफल उक्लिएको हो।
सेयर बजारमा विशेष गरी अर्धचालक, कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता (एआई) तथा विद्युतीय उपकरणसम्बन्धी कम्पनीका सेयरहरूमा बिक्री दबाब देखिएको थियो। यी क्षेत्रहरू आर्थिक अवस्थाप्रति संवेदनशील मानिने भएकाले अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रम्पले ग्रिनल्यान्डको विषयलाई लिएर युरोपका आठ देशका वस्तुहरूमा नयाँ ट्यारिफ घोषणा गरेपछि अमेरिका–युरोप सम्बन्ध बिग्रन सक्ने आशङ्काले बजारमा नकारात्मक प्रभाव परेको विश्लेषकहरूको भनाइ छ।
समग्रमा, भूराजनीतिक तनाव, व्यापारसम्बन्धी अनिश्चितता र सरकारी ऋणबारे बढ्दो चासोले जापानी सेयर बजारमा अल्पकालीन दबाब सिर्जना भएको देखिएको छ।
Kathmandu — Japan’s stock market fell on Tuesday amid growing concerns over the global economic outlook, as investors turned cautious following fresh tariff-related tensions involving the United States.
The benchmark Nikkei 225, which tracks 225 major Japanese companies, dropped 592.47 points, or 1.11 percent, to close at 52,991.10 compared to Monday’s session. The broader TOPIX also declined, shedding 30.80 points, or 0.84 percent, to end the day at 3,625.60.
Market sentiment weakened after reports that the United States could impose new tariffs linked to the Greenland issue, raising fears of escalating trade frictions. Analysts said investors grew wary that renewed tariff threats could strain transatlantic relations and further disrupt global trade flows.
Bond Yields Hit Decades-High
At the same time, yields on Japan’s 10-year benchmark government bonds briefly climbed to 2.350 percent, their highest level since February 1999. Analysts attributed the surge to expectations that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s government may increase public spending and issue additional debt, prompting heavier bond selling and pushing yields higher.
Tech and Growth Stocks Under Pressure
Selling pressure was particularly strong in semiconductor, artificial intelligence (AI), and electronics-related stocks, sectors considered highly sensitive to economic cycles. Market participants noted that these industries are vulnerable to global demand fluctuations and trade policy uncertainty.
Concerns were further amplified after US President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on goods from eight European countries in connection with the Greenland issue. Analysts warned that a deterioration in US–Europe relations could have spillover effects on Asian markets, including Japan.
Interpretation: Caution Dominates Market Mood
Overall, the decline in Tokyo stocks reflects a combination of geopolitical uncertainty, trade-related risks, and rising concerns over government debt. While Japan’s economic fundamentals remain relatively stable, analysts say short-term market movements are likely to remain volatile as investors closely monitor global political developments and policy signals from major economies.
