US Top News and Analysis | Japan’s megabanks post record profits, but analysts warn growth may slow as risks mount

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Japan’s three megabanks – Mitsubishi UFJ, Sumitomo Mitsui and Mizuho – posted record annual profits for the fiscal year ended March 2026, with MUFG’s net profit up 30% to 2.4 trillion yen and SMFG and Mizuho posting 34% and 41% gains respectively, driven by higher yen rates, strong corporate funding demand and robust fee income. However, analysts warn that earnings growth is likely to moderate as credit costs rise, competition for deposits intensifies, and geopolitical risks—particularly tensions in the Middle East that could lift oil prices—loom, prompting banks to allocate more capital for balance‑sheet expansion. Forecasts suggest MUFG’s profit growth may fall to about 5% by fiscal 2027, SMFG’s to 9% through fiscal 2028, while Mizuho’s net‑interest‑margin gains could ease from fiscal 2027 as global interest rates ease. Despite the structural improvements from higher domestic rates and corporate activity, the sustainability of these record profits is uncertain amid mounting risks.

Il Tempo: Cina, la crescita delle energie rinnovabili rafforza la resilienza dell'export

PECHINO (CINA) (XINHUA/ITALPRESS) – Il settore cinese delle esportazioni dovrebbe mostrare resilienza di fronte alla crisi globale dell'approvvigionamento energetico, grazie all'elevato grado di autosufficienza energetica del Paese e alla rapida espansione di fonti di nuova energia. E' quanto si legge in una ricerca di Nomura.
Il sistema di approvvigionamento elettrico della Cina è in larga misura protetto dall'attuale shock dell'offerta energetica per via di diversi fattori strutturali, rileva il rapporto.
Il Paese ha compiuto rapidi progressi nell'integrazione di fonti energetiche alternative, tra cui eolica, solare e nucleare. Tuttavia, mentre il settore delle nuove energie si sta sviluppando rapidamente, il comparto industriale resta fortemente dipendente dal carbone, gran parte del quale è estratto a livello nazionale.
Un sistema elettrico regolamentato garantisce inoltre ai produttori un accesso stabile all'energia, mettendo gli esportatori cinesi al riparo dalle attuali turbolenze energetiche, aggiunge il rapporto.
Alla luce di questi peculiari vantaggi, Nomura rileva che, mentre nelle sue previsioni annuali per il 2026 aveva indicato un rallentamento moderato della crescita delle esportazioni cinesi, ora vede margini di rialzo, soprattutto se la crisi energetica si protrarrà nella seconda metà dell'anno.

China, the growth of renewable energies strengthens export resilience.

PEKIN (CHINA) (XINHUA/ITALPRESS) – China’s export sector should prove resilient in the face of the global energy supply crisis, thanks to the country’s high degree of energy self-sufficiency and the rapid expansion of new energy sources. This is according to a Nomura report.
The Chinese electricity supply system is largely protected from the current supply shock due to several structural factors, the report finds.
The country has made rapid progress in integrating alternative energy sources, including wind, solar and nuclear. However, while the new energy sector is developing rapidly, the industrial sector remains heavily reliant on coal, much of which is mined domestically.
A regulated electricity system also guarantees producers stable access to energy, shielding Chinese exporters from the current energy turbulence, the report adds.
In light of these unique advantages, Nomura notes that, while its annual forecasts for 2026 had indicated a moderate slowdown in the growth of Chinese exports, it now sees upward revision potential, particularly if the energy crisis persists in the second half of the year.
