TOKYO, Oct 29 (Reuters) - The following stocks are on the move on Tuesday. **SMBC , BANKS UP AHEAD OF ECONOMIC POLICY PACKAGE**
Banking shares are up, as investors sense a compromise one day ahead of the release of a key policy package.
UFJ Holdings Inc , the smallest of Japan's four megabanks and considered the weakest by analysts, up 4.52 percent at 162,000 yen. UFJ had tumbled over 50 percent since Heizo Takenaka was appointed chief financial regulator in a suprise cabinet reshuffle last month, signalling a tougher line on banks.
The world's biggest bank by assets, Mizuho Holdings, which has lost 43 percent over the same period, up 3.09 percent at 167,000 yen.
On Tuesday local media reported that due to fierce opposition, a plan to restrict the use of deferred tax assets -- a kind of tax break that forms around 40 percent of core bank capital -- would be delayed for a year.
"Investors are betting that some compromise will be made which is more favourable to banks. And due to steep falls in the last few weeks banking shares have already priced in the scenario of a tough clean-up," said Kazuyuki Naito, general manager of equities sales and trading at UFJ Tsubasa Securities. 0501 GMT **CAR PARTS MAKERS DOWN AFTER HONDA CUTS FORECAST**
