Japanese banks have sufficient capital bases, stable funding bases to withstand various stress situations.
Necessary to carefully monitor impact on the financial system of geopolitical risks particularly regarding situation in the Middle East.
Lending by three major banks to the Middle East remains limited but impact of increases in crude oil prices could be different across regions and industries.
Non-investment-grade firms, in particular, could be affected, default probabilities tend to rise in industries other than energy sector.
Firms' commodity procurement costs could be elevated, and effects through supply chains could emerge.

VIPOil Risk Premiums and rToken Dividend Arbitrage Strategies
1. This week we focus on cross-asset positioning under an energy shock and arbitrage opportunities in tokenized-stock cash dividends. We recommend assessing market direction separately from income sources. Higher oil can weigh on growth valuations, lift inflation expectations, and spark expectations of Fed rate hikes, putting pressure on equities and crypto. 2. rToken net cash dividends can be distributed separately, but buying spot, shorting a perpetual, and holding across the record date does not automatically create an arbitrage. First confirm ex-dividend eligibility, platform snapshots, after-tax amounts, and the corporate-action rules for the short leg. Then compare funding fees, spreads, and execution costs. A dividend arbitrage strategy can be applied to STRC. 3. Next week's Fed decision and major technology earnings are key. Lower policy uncertainty can help restore risk appetite, but a sustained rebound still needs confirmation from rates, cloud growth, capital expenditure, and free cash flow. Our base case is a monthly-timeframe rebound in risk assets and crypto as earnings season, the Fed meeting, and the midterm elections pass and uncertainty recedes. Assets in focus: BTC, ETH, SOL, WTI, ASML, MSFT, GOOG, AMZN, CAT, and STRC
