The Asian nation is drawing inflows that seek to benefit from 'once-in-a-generation structural reforms ' in equities and rising rates in fixed income after decades of monetary stimulus, according to Ben Ferguson, co-head of Pimco in Japan. US President Donald Trump's policy announcements have been 'disruptive' and the latest tariff announcements 'highlight the need to, at least consider diversification,' he added.

Nasdaq profit beats estimates as volatile markets lift trading volumes
(Reuters) -Nasdaq beat Wall Street estimates for second-quarter profit on Thursday, as volatile markets boosted trading volumes while first-half listings on its eponymous exchange hit their highest since 2021. U.S. markets were roiled during the quarter due to President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff announcements, renewed tensions in the Middle East and uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. The resulting volatility drove a spike in trading volumes, with Nasdaq recording a surge in U.S. equity options contracts, while U.S. cash equities volumes hit a record. The company's market services revenue from trading grew 21% to a quarterly record. Revenue from its financial technology unit, which includes anti-financial crime and capital markets infrastructure software, increased 10% to $464 million in the second quarter, while its index business revenue jumped 17% to $196 million. The company has expanded beyond trading and listings into financial technology and software to generate more predictable, recurring revenue that is less sensitive to market volatility. IPO MARKET RECOVERS IPO activity on the exchange rebounded in the first half of 2025, reaching its highest level since 2021, when listings had hit a global record. Several high-profile companies chose the exchange for their market debut, while mergers with blank-check firms and listing transfers from rival exchanges also contributed to Nasdaq's gains. Companies such as neo-bank Chime and AI infrastructure firm CoreWeave helped lift deal activity for Nasdaq, signaling a tentative return of investor appetite for new offerings after a years-long dry spell. In June, CEO Adena Friedman said Nasdaq was in active talks with companies looking to make stock market debuts, reflecting optimism for a broader recovery in the listings market. Nasdaq reported second-quarter revenue of $1.31 billion, up 13% from a year earlier. Profit came in at 85 cents per share in the three months ended June 30. Analysts on average had expected 81 cents, according to data compiled by LSEG.

China releases draft law amendment to help curb price wars
BEIJING (Reuters) -China released a draft amendment to its pricing law on Thursday as part of efforts to curb excessive competition and price wars among firms, amid persistent deflationary pressures. Chinese leaders have signaled they will rein in price wars among producers as expectations grow for a new round of factory capacity cuts in a long-awaited but challenging campaign against deflation - a move that could pose risks to economic growth. Under the proposed revisions, apart from lawful discounts on seasonal or overstocked goods, or other legitimate reasons for price cuts, firms will be prohibited from selling below cost to drive out competitors or monopolise the market, and from forcing others to adopt similar pricing practices. The draft law, published on the website of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) - the state planner, also stipulates that firms cannot use data, algorithms, or technology to engage in improper pricing behaviors. The NDRC and the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement that China's economic landscape has changed significantly since the current pricing law was adopted in 1998. "The vast majority of goods and services prices are now formed by the market, new economic forms and business models are constantly emerging, and issues such as disorderly low-price competition in some industries have become prominent," they said. China will refine standards for identifying price collusion, price gouging, price discrimination and other unfair pricing practices, and take steps to address "involution-style" competition, the state agencies said. The draft amendment, which is open for public comment until August 23, also proposes tougher penalties for unfair pricing practices, including higher fines for violations of clear price marking requirements. China's producer prices dropped for the 33rd month in June.
