Mitsubishi Ufj Drops 4.31% Amid Metal Price Volatility

On April 10, 2025, Mitsubishi Ufj experienced a 4.31% drop in pre-market trading.

Mitsubishi Ufj's stock price decline can be attributed to the recent surge in base metal prices, which has been influenced by the global economic uncertainty and the impact of tariffs. The bank's analysts have noted that the copper and aluminum prices have been volatile, with copper prices dropping by 19% since the announcement of comprehensive tariff measures by the U.S. President. This has dampened the optimism surrounding global economic growth and industrial metal demand.

Additionally, Mitsubishi Ufj has announced a significant investment in the Japanese real estate market. The bank plans to acquire properties worth 1,000 billion yen over the next three years, focusing on office buildings and residential properties in central Tokyo. This move reflects the bank's confidence in the long-term value of Japanese real estate, which is seen as undervalued compared to major international cities. Despite short-term concerns about rising interest rates, Mitsubishi Ufj believes that the value of central Tokyo properties will continue to appreciate over the long term.
