[Schneemann]

In Japan wachsen die Sorgen, ebenso wie in Europa, vor den mit dem Irankrieg verbundenen Preissteigerungen bei Öl und Gas:

Over 90% of Japanese firms concerned as oil prices spike

[April 10, 2026]

A new survey shows that 43.8 percent of companies in Japan would be forced to shrink their core businesses if higher oil prices persist for six months amid the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

In addition, more than 90 percent cite negative impacts from the heightened Middle East tensions, according to the corporate survey results released by Teikoku Databank Ltd. on April 9. Companies reporting that surging crude oil prices and supply concerns would have a “negative impact” on their management accounted for 96.6 percent. More than 70 percent of the 96.6 percent companies cited “increased fuel costs for company vehicles” as the reason. [...] The survey was conducted from April 3 to April 7, covering 1,686 companies on the impact of rising oil prices and supply concerns stemming from the war in Iran and blocking off the strait.

Zudem kommt es in Japan aktuell landesweit verstärkt zu Demonstrationen gegen den Krieg. Nach verschiedenen Quellen sollen es mehrere zehntausend Beteiligte sein.
