Nikkei falls as traders lock in gains after rally
TOKYO: Japan's Nikkei share average dropped on Friday, trimming a weekly advance that brought the index to the brink of a record, as traders locked in gains spurred by a newly inked trade deal with the United States. The Nikkei 225 Index slid 0.9% to close at 41,456.23, trimming its five-day advance to 4.1%. The broader Topix, which hit an all-time high on Thursday, also dropped 0.9%. The trade deal, announced late on Tuesday by US President Donald Trump, reduced a reciprocal tariff on Japanese goods and autos-specific levies to 15% from the 25% Washington had threatened previously. Shares of industrial robot maker Yaskawa Electric dropped 6%, paring a steep three-day advance. Mitsubishi Motors plunged 7.9% after the automaker reported an 84% drop in first-quarter operating profit. The Nikkei's 14-day relative strength index (RSI), a technical measure for an investment momentum, reached 77.8 on Thursday, the highest since the stock gauge hit its all-time high of 41,889.16 in July 2024.

KSE-100 gains over 500 points on Pakistan's credit rating upgrade
The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) closed on a positive note on Friday, as investors cheered S&P Global's upgrade of Pakistan's sovereign credit rating to 'B—' from 'CCC+'. At close, the benchmark index settled at 139,207.29, up by 514.62 points or 0.37%. Top positive contribution to the index came from ENGROH, UBL, LUCK, MEBL, NBP, ATLH & SYS, as they cumulatively contributed 541 points to the index, brokerage house Topline Securities said in its post-market report. In a key development, S&P Global raised Pakistan's sovereign credit rating to 'B-' from 'CCC+' and placed it on a 'stable' outlook on Thursday, saying the country's finances and reserves had been stabilised by International Monetary Fund support. 'The S&P upgrade, coming shortly after Fitch raised its rating in Apr'25, is expected to enhance investor confidence, reduce external borrowing costs, and improve Pakistan's prospects of re-entering international bond markets,' said Arif Habib Limited (AHL). Moreover, the market anticipates a policy rate cut in the upcoming Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) scheduled to be held on Wednesday. 'As the SBP meets on July 30, 2025, we expect a 50bps rate cut to bring the policy rate down to 10.5%,' said AHL. 'With inflation down, the external position currently in a manageable zone, and yields already on a downward slope, conditions seem ripe for further monetary easing, though some risks cast a shadow,' it said. On Thursday, PSX witnessed a bearish trend as investor confidence took a hit due to mounting macroeconomic concerns. Surging inflation, coupled with the expected rupee slide on higher imports, further fueled the negative sentiments. The KSE-100 lost 561.69 points, or 0.40%, to settle at 138,692.67 points. The KSE-100 Index increased by 0.44% on week-on-week (WoW) basis. Internationally, Asian shares eased from highs on Friday, with Japanese markets retreating from a record peak, as investors locked in profits ahead of a crucial week that includes US President Donald Trump's tariff deadline and a host of central bank meetings. The dollar gained against the yen after bouncing off a two-week low on Thursday, helped by some firm US economic data, while Japan's currency was weighed down by political uncertainty amid media reports Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba will step down. Benchmark Japanese government bond yields hovered just below the highest since 2008. Japan's broad Topix index, which had jumped more than 5% over the previous two sessions to reach an all-time high, pulled back 0.7%. The Nikkei slipped 0.5% from Thursday's one-year high. Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 0.5% and mainland Chinese blue chips declined 0.2%. Australia's equity benchmark declined 0.5%. At the same time, US S&P 500 futures added 0.2%, after the cash index edged up slightly to a new record closing high overnight, buoyed by robust earnings from Google parent Alphabet. The tech-heavy Nasdaq also marked a record high. MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe edged down 0.1%, but remained just below an all-time peak from Thursday.
