“Focus on ‘another buried gold’ in the Tokyo market!”
Yen depreciation due to the interest rate differential between Japan and the US supports Japanese stocks
The situation in the US market is strange. The NY Dow has stopped rising since mid-February, and the Nasdaq and S&P 500 started to stall in February and have not stopped falling.
On the other hand, as you know, the Tokyo market leveled off in February, but then surged in March.
What is the difference between the Japanese and US markets? The view on interest rates is the exact opposite. In the US, there is a growing possibility that interest rate hikes will be accelerated once more, while in Japan, the next BOJ Governor Ueda has half promised to continue with large-scale monetary easing.
This difference is very large. This causes the dollar to appreciate and the yen to depreciate. The yen exchange rate, which once rose to the 127 yen level once morest the dollar, is now between 136 and 137 yen.
From an investment point of view, this is very favorable. Moreover, fortunately, criticism of the yen’s depreciation has almost disappeared recently. Those who favor a stronger yen seem to have no complaints as long as the yen remains between 130 and 140 yen, indicating that the yen is currently moving at a comfortable level.
Of course, the yen also appreciates from time to time. On the 10th, the Nikkei Stock Average fell by more than 500 yen at one point due to the rapid decline of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the weakening of the yen. Think of it as temporary rather than permanent.
Attractive fashion stocks
In addition, in the Tokyo market, dividend-collecting investments continue until near the end of the month. This is very impactful and will continue to buy not only stocks with dividend yields above 4%, but also stocks with dividend yields in the 3% range. Buying with the aim of taking dividends is intense.
For this reason, today, it may be “high dividend stocks to search for buried gold in the Tokyo market,” but in reality, “hidden gold” is buried in other areas as well.
