The Nikkei average stock price surpassed the 70,000 level for the first time in 3 months, suggesting improved investor sentiment. Next, international politics. In the Brazilian presidential election, Lula and Bolsonaro are expected to advance to a runoff vote, and as the possibility of a right-wing victory grows, attention is focused on the economic impact of strengthened relations with the US and a shift in trade policy. Regarding the Middle East situation, indirect talks between the US and Iran over the Iranian nuclear issue have shown no progress, and there are concerns about adverse effects on energy markets due to oil transport risks via the Strait of Hormuz. On US tech policy, President Trump established a new centralized command organization to unify AI regulation. The Director of National Intelligence will oversee this, and attention is focused on the impact on tech companies' compliance costs and business plans. On European security, Germany announced new support for Ukraine, including countermeasures against Russian military drones. Economic effects are expected from increased defense industry spending and demand for Ukraine's reconstruction. Meanwhile, in Ukraine's capital Kyiv, continued attacks on bridges by Russian military drones persist, with infrastructure destruction and obstruction of citizens' movement negatively affecting economic activity. In the domestic real estate market, regulatory tightening is advancing in the minpaku (private lodging) market, where prices rose 20-fold over 8 years, raising concerns about market contraction and profit margin pressure on operators due to competition for properties. In entertainment-related news, the company of Sekiguchi of Southern All Stars apologized for a tax underreporting issue, resulting in a financial burden from back taxes. On the China situation, Premier Li Qiang emphasized during President Trump's visit to China that the Taiwan issue is an inviolable red line, with risks of continued instability in US-China trade relations. Finally, industry risk. Suspected crew infections on a cruise ship are spreading, raising concerns about financial impacts on related industries.
