GroLink News, September 18|The Nikkei 225 Index surged, with gains expanding to 1.83%, breaking through 65,000 points. According to reports, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 25 basis points as expected. Some analysts believe that if investors determine the Bank of Japan’s tightening path can hardly keep pace with the Federal Reserve, the USD/JPY may rise toward 160. Given that the 25-basis-point rate hike has largely been priced in by the market, this risk is particularly prominent if Friday’s decision or subsequent communication is interpreted as dovish.

Korean media: Delivery times for key semiconductor equipment components have more than doubled

According to reports, there is a severe shortage of core components for semiconductor equipment in South Korea. Delivery cycles have generally doubled, and waiting times for some Japanese-made parts are as long as 40 months, with components unavailable even at a premium price. Japanese suppliers are cautious about expanding production capacity, resulting in serious delays that have impacted downstream businesses. Major construction projects like Samsung’s Pyeongtaek and SK Hynix’s Yongin face the risk of postponement, with AI chip expansion plans running into a “hard wall” in the supply chain.
