0920 GMT - Japanese corporate earnings are poised to continue rising in the quarters ahead, even though the country's economic growth likely peaked in 2Q, Eastspring Investments' Vis Nayar and Ray Farris write in a note. The resignation of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba--a notable fiscal hawk--could lead to more stimulative fiscal policy, they say. The recently stronger PMIs of the U.S., Europe and China also suggest Japan's exports might continue to expand, with some support from reduced U.S. tariffs on Japanese autos. China's continuing push against overcapacity and excessive competition could further reduce the pressure on some Japanese producers, they add. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
