Hi Market Matters Team! Do you have a view on prospects for the Japanese stock market? I have seen commentary a few times over the last few months stating that prospects for the Japanese economy and hence Japanese companies are good, with the move toward an end of the long-term deflationary doldrums there often cited. To put more of a point on my question, is there a Japanese-focussed ETF, readily accsessible to Australian investors, that you think has good prospects?
Hi,
Firstly its important to acknowledge that the Nikkei has already performed strongly post-COVID. Japan has indeed struggled with deflation but equities enjoyed the tailwind of negative bond yields for years, the BOJ hiked interest rates in July, from zero to 0.25% – the first hike in over 15-years! The move created a panic move across global financial markets as the “yen carry trade unwound”.
