06:12â¢Asian Markets Wobble
âšJapanese media prioritizes financial market developments. Nikkei Shimbun reports on Japan's Nikkei Average holding around 40,000 yen a year post-crash, yet domestic investors are bearish, differing from foreign long-term capital (Nikkei Shimbun). Meanwhile, Nikkei Asia notes a significant nearly 4% plunge in South Korean stocks, attributed to a US trade deal and tax overhaul plan (Nikkei Asia). Other reports include a domestic legal acquittal (Yahoo News Japan), nuclear weapons threats (Huffington Post Japan), and California's independence debate (Japan Business Press).
