The Federal Reserve kept the target range for the federal funds rate unchanged as expected. After a holiday, the Nikkei index resumed trading, opening down 432 points this morning (30th). It once slid 817 points in early trading to a low of 59,100, and closed the half day down 612 points, or 1%, at 59,304. During the Asian session, the JPY fell past 160, touching a low of 160.44, the weakest level in about 21 months, and was last quoted at 160.37 against the USD. The market speculated that the Japanese government may step in to intervene in the currency market. Strategists at JPMorgan expect intervention measures could emerge before the JPY weakens to 162 per USD.

SoftBank (9984.JP) rose 1.7%, while Fast Retailing (9983.JP) edged up 0.1%. Cable maker Fujikura (5803.JP) fell 4.9%. Tokyo Electric Power (9501.JP) dropped 3.2%. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial (8306.JP) declined 2.1%.

Some semiconductor stocks bucked the trend. Chipmaker Sumco (3436.JP) surged 15.2%, Renesas Electronics (6723.JP) gained 10.5%, and Kioxia (285A) rose 4.4%. Semiconductor materials maker Ajinomoto (2802.JP) advanced 5.4%. Tokyo Electron (8035.JP) and Nvidia supplier Advantest (6857.JP) fell 1.1% and 3.9%, respectively, by midday.

Fujitsu (6702.JP) plunged 13.4% by midday, the worst performer among index constituents. For the full fiscal year ended March, the companys net profit increased 104.5% YoY to JPY449.408 billion. (da/)~
