Given the US retail sales data beating expectations which shored up the US Treasury note yield rates, paired with geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, markets are now betting that the Fed will not cut interest rates until mid-September at the soonest. Major Asia-Pacific stock markets descended broadly this morning (16th).

The Yen busted below the 154 mark, setting an about-34-year lows, with USD/ JPY posting at 154.34 in Asian session. JPY100/ HKD, on the other hand, last printed at 5.05. Nikkei 225 Stock Average, which followed the downtrend in the external markets, opened with a large downside gap of 482 pts this morning, and then sharpened its decline in the early morning to close the midday at trough of 38,405, collapsing 827 pts, or 2.1%.

Power utilities were under pressure, with TEPCO softening from an over-13-year high, down 4.3%. Chubu Electric Power and Kansai Electric Power faded 0.6%-1.4%.

Heavyweights/ popular stocks undermined the market. Nissan and NTT sank 0.9%-1.3%. Toyota, Fast Retailing and Softbank slipped 2.5%-3.3%. Socionext, Mitsubishi Heavy and Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha dived 4.8%-4.9%.
