Nikkei jumps 2.77% as Furukawa Electric keeps the local lead
2026-06-12 · 4 min
The Nikkei 225 jumped 2.77% on 6/12, but the top-ranked name out of 225 stayed Furukawa Electric, with Mitsui Mining & Smelting and Fujikura right behind it. That makes this less a simple risk-on story than a test of whether Japan’s cable-and-metals leadership can keep outrunning a broad global bid while U.S. yields, the dollar and crude all move in different directions. What does that say about the next handoff into Europe and the 10:00 AM ET Michigan inflation read?
Key Points
- The Nikkei 225 rose 2.77% on 6/12, a much stronger open than the prior day’s near-flat tape.
- Furukawa Electric, Mitsui Mining & Smelting and Fujikura remained the top three out of 225 names.
- U.S. 10-year yields fell to 4.46% while the dollar stayed flat and WTI crude slipped 1.5%, leaving the cross-asset backdrop mixed.
- The next dated catalyst is the 10:00 AM ET University of Michigan inflation preliminaries, with the June 1-year and 5-year reads in focus.
