Japan's Nikkei 225 ended Friday up 1.26% at 65,020.94, snapping a four-session losing streak, while still falling 2% for the week. According to Sina Finance, the index was lifted by a 11.78% jump in SoftBank Group and stronger overnight Wall Street closes. SoftBank was the Nikkei's biggest gainer after Arm Holdings rose 3.29% overnight, while Kioxia climbed 5.4%. Japan's foreign exchange affairs chief Atsushi Mimura said on Friday that his stance on defending the yen has remained consistent. He told reporters in Tokyo that he has stayed in close contact with U.S. authorities since the G20 summit earlier this week. Nomura Securities said the Bank of Japan could raise rates at three consecutive meetings before December in an extreme case of continued yen weakness. Yujiro Goto, head of Japan FX strategy at Nomura, said a 25-basis-point hike this month looks reasonable, and that October and December could see back-to-back hikes if the yen's weakness continues toward 160. The yen rose more than 2% against the dollar this week to around 156, driven by speculation that the Government Pension Investment Fund may reconsider its asset allocation and by expectations that the Bank of Japan will accelerate rate hikes. According to Sina Finance, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has begun discussing keeping Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama in her post, and officials are now consulting on the matter. The autumn extraordinary session of the Diet will review a consumption tax cut bill, which is seen as key legislation.

South Korea's KOSPI rose for a second straight session as chip stocks advanced, closing up 1.6% at 6,687.21 points. According to Sina Finance, the index fell 1.5% for the week. South Korea's presidential office said it is still reviewing a proposal to send troops to the Strait of Hormuz and has not made any decision. According to Sina Finance, the office said South Korea could make some contribution to the situation in the Strait of Hormuz without harming its existing readiness posture. South Korea's finance ministry said regulators will closely monitor the domestic bond market and maintain stable management to guard against sharp market volatility. According to Sina Finance, officials cited higher sovereign bond issuance, global artificial intelligence companies issuing corporate bonds, expectations of rate hikes in major economies, and tensions in the Middle East pushing up oil prices. South Korea will delay by six months a planned increase in the minimum market capitalization threshold for listed companies. According to Sina Finance, companies that meet the conditions and face delisting risk will also be allowed to transfer to the KONEX market without going through a liquidation trading period.

Ciena reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $1.671 billion for the period ended August 1, up 37% from a year earlier and above the roughly $1.633 billion expected by the market. According to Sina Finance, cloud-provider revenue rose 82% and accounted for 53% of total revenue. The optical networking equipment maker raised its full-year fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to $6.37 billion-$6.47 billion from $6 billion-$6.4 billion. It also said fourth-quarter revenue is expected to be $1.75 billion, plus or minus $50 million, and that fiscal 2027 revenue is expected to grow at least 30%.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the UK has not fully used the autonomy gained from Brexit and has chosen Brussels over the United States in rulemaking, creating a problem for talks on expanding the U.S.-UK trade agreement. According to Sina Finance, Greer said the UK still aligns with EU rules, keeps barriers on U.S. goods, and maintains tariffs that are still relatively high. Greer said the early trade agreement between the two countries was beneficial and a good early harvest, but that negotiations still face sticking points, especially in agriculture and farm products. He said the U.S. agricultural market is open to the UK, while access for U.S. farm products into Britain remains very limited, leaving the United States with a deficit in farm trade with the UK. He also said he wants to see the UK lower tariffs in some areas and questioned whether Britain, if it calls itself a fortress of free trade, should live up to that commitment. Greer’s remarks came as the UK seeks closer ties with the EU, including a planned agreement to remove border checks on food and drink exports to the bloc if it follows strict EU food standards. That arrangement would also block products such as chlorine-washed chicken and hormone-treated beef from entering the UK market. The UK government has also rejected the U.S. request to recognize American industrial goods standards, instead choosing to align with EU rules in sectors including autos and chemicals to support trade with Europe. Since the 2025 trade war, the UK has been the first country to reach a trade deal with the United States, securing cuts to punitive tariffs on cars and steel, but a 10% blanket tariff still leaves Britain facing a tougher trade relationship with the United States than before U.S. President Donald Trump’s second term. Greer said he has a good relationship with UK Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds, but the two sides still have differences.
