How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| JPY | softer growth reduces pressure for near-term BOJ tightening and can weigh on the currency | Downintraday | Japan's economy grew only 0.3% q/q and private spending fell 1.2% |
| JGB10Y | weaker growth data can support duration as traders price a slower normalization path | Up1-5d | exports slowed and domestic demand was flat to weaker in the quarter |
| NIKKEI 225 | slower domestic growth is negative for cyclical demand but lower-rate expectations can cushion exporters and duration-sensitive shares | Mixed1-5d | GDP missed expectations while the BOJ recently raised its growth outlook to 0.6% for the fiscal year |
