Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. dropped after the company said it plans to raise $5 billion, renewing concern stock sales will sap demand for equities. Sumitomo Mitsui's plan ``does raise the question whether we will see more share sales to raise capital by other companies,'' said Nobuki Goto, who helps oversee about $14 billion as a general manager at Tokio Marine Asset Management Co. in Tokyo. ``Concern about oversupply of shares could hinder any further gains.'' The Morgan Stanley Capital International Asia-Pacific Index lost 1.2 percent to 127.65 at 1:30 p.m. in Tokyo. The index yesterday closed at its highest since May 1996. All 10 industry groups fell, with a measure of banks including Sumitomo Mitsui and Mizuho Financial Group Inc. sliding 1.8 percent. Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average lost 0.9 percent to 16,286.83, while the broader Topix index fell 1 percent. Stock indexes around the region declined, except in Hong Kong, the Philippines, New Zealand and Thailand. Markets in Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan and Singapore were closed for a holiday. In Japan, the Topix Banks Index dropped 3.1 percent, the worst performer among the 33 industry groups that make up the benchmark. Share Sales Sumitomo Mitsui, Japan's third-largest lender by assets, sank 5 percent to 1.14 million yen. The Tokyo-based bank said on Jan. 6 it plans to sell 552 billion yen ($5 billion) of shares this month. The bank, which has said it would pay back 1.1 trillion yen in government money by March 2008, joined other lenders in selling shares to raise funds for repayments. Mizuho, Japan's second-largest lender, raised 532 billion yen in October in the nation's largest share sale since 2001 and still owes 600 billion yen. The stock slipped 2.7 percent to 897,000 yen. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc., the world's largest bank by assets, repaid 323.6 billion yen in October. It still owes the government 820.5 billion yen of funds received in a 1999 bailout of the former UFJ Holdings Inc. Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group Inc. bought UFJ in October to form Mitsubishi UFJ. Mitsubishi UFJ dropped 3.7 percent to 1.55 million yen. Thailand, South Korea In Thailand, state-controlled lenders fell after The Nation reported the country will this year implement its plan to reduce its stake in three state-run lenders, including Krung Thai Bank Pcl, the country's second-largest bank by assets. The Financial Institutions Development Fund, which is the central bank's bailout fund, owns a 56.4 percent stake in Krung Thai, and 47.6 percent of Siam City Bank Pcl. The fund plans to sell the shares this year, the report said. Krung Thai lost 0.8 percent to 12.8 baht. Siam City Bank fell 1 percent to 26 baht. South Korean banks also fell after Credit Suisse First Boston lowered its rating on Kookmin Bank to ``neutral'' from ``outperform,'' on the view that recent share gains were excessive relative to the company's earnings potential. Kookmin Bank, South Korea's biggest lender, fell 2.9 percent to 73,100 won. Shinhan Financial Group Ltd., the nation's second- largest financial services company, lost 2 percent to 40,000 won. Indictment Taiwan's Taiex index declined 0.7 percent. United Microelectronics Corp., the island's second-largest chipmaker, led the drop after former chairman Robert Tsao was indicted for breaking laws when forging an alliance in China. United Microelectronics sank 2.1 percent to NT$18.45. Tsao was charged yesterday with ``breach of trust and violation of the business accounting law'' after helping He Jian Technology (Suzhou) Co. to build a plant, win orders and improve management, Tsai Tien-yuan, a district prosecutor said in a telephone interview from Hsinchu, where United Microelectronics is based. United Microelectronics confirmed the indictments in an e-mailed statement. Aluminum manufacturers such as Alumina Ltd. and Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd. fell after Alcoa Inc., the world's biggest producer of the metal, said fourth-quarter profit dropped as increased costs for raw materials and energy eroded the benefit of higher selling prices. Aluminum Corp. lost 0.8 percent to HK$6.00, while Alumina, a partner with Alcoa Inc. slid 1.7 percent from a record to A$7.46. Elsewhere, Japan's Nitori Co. climbed 10 percent to 12,950 yen, the biggest percentage gain in the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index in Asian trading today. The furniture retail chain said on Jan. 5 its nine-month net income rose 36 percent from a year earlier, with a 24 percent rise in sales.
