Japan futures climb on Beijing stimulus bets; eyes on US election fallout
SINGAPORE, Nov 8 (Reuters) -
Japanese rubber futures climbed on Friday and were headed for a weekly rise, as bets of further stimulus from top consumer China outweighed the threat of a trade war from U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, while a weaker yen lent support.
The April Osaka Exchange (OSE) rubber contract JRUc6, 0#2JRU: was up 7.1 yen, or 1.93%, at 375.0 yen ($2.45) per kg as of 0215 GMT. The contract has gained 6.47% so far this week.
The January rubber contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) SNRv1 rose 360 yuan, or 1.97%, to 18,590 yuan ($2,603.35) per metric ton. It is up 4.88% so far this week.
China's President Xi Jinping congratulated Trump on his U.S. presidential win and urged both nations to find the "right way to get along".
Chinese businesses are waiting to see if Trump makes good on his threat to impose tariffs of 60% or more on imports from China, which could kickstart a fresh trade war reminiscent of the one he waged during his 2017-2021 presidency.
Stocks in China opened higher and were set for their best week in a month as traders await fiscal stimulus some expect will be forceful in the face of Trump's tariff threats.
Investors are watching a key Beijing meeting concluding today that will include plans for additional government debt issuance.
The U.S. dollar ticked up 0.14% to 153.15 yen JPY=EBS, taking a breather from a wild week as markets weighed the impact of Trump's impending White House return and what that would mean for the U.S. economy and its rate outlook. USD/
