The Bank of Japan (BOJ) announced on the last trading day that it would raise interest rates to 0.25% while progressively downsizing the government bond purchases.

Japan's finance minister, Shunichi Suzuki, said that he will keep an eye on the situation of the financial capital market and the impact of interest rate hikes on the real economy, having requested the central bank to explain its policy in more detail.

USD/ JPY once logged an over-4-month high of 148.5 in the Asian session, and last added nearly 0.3% to 149.55. JPY100/ HKD printed at 5.218.

Nikkei reversed its yesterday's uptrend, and opened 320 points lower at 38,781 this morning (1 Aug) before it once fell through the 39,000 and 38,000 marks. The index once sank 1,363 points to a low of 37,737, and closed down 1,007 points or 2.58% to 38,094 at midday.

Heavyweights/ hot stocks fell sharply. Mitsubishi UFJ, Rakuten, NTT and Fast Retailing faded 2.6-3%, while SoftBank dipped 5.6%. TEPCO and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries cratered over 6% each.

Advantest, a chip manufacturing equipment stock, spiked 14.9% at midday against the market, being the best performer among the constituents of the index.
