SoftBank Group is trading 4.46% up at ¥5,460, appearing to recover from the prior selloff.

  • No reliable source identified a new August 20 catalyst directly explaining the rebound.
  • The move follows volatility surrounding a planned Â¥1 trillion seven-year retail bond sale.
  • Reports said the offering would be Japan’s largest retail corporate bond issue and could intensify concerns about debt funding for AI investments.
