Japan is the talk of the town this week, their Nikkei 225 index just shattered the historic 57,000 mark. What does this mean for your money?
Well, the Nikkei 225 surged to a fresh record, after a landslide political victory that might have changed everything.
Sunday, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi won a massive 316-seat supermajority. The win clears the way for ‘Sanaenomics,’ a plan featuring a giant stimulus package: 10 trillion yen for AI and semiconductors plus a 21 trillion yen on top just for fun. Investors are piling into defense and tech as parliamentary gridlock vanishes.
Small-cap
$UOKA is making noise alongside the benchmark. In the ETF world you can get exposure to Japanese stocks nearly anywhere in the world, there are several ETFs available:
$EWJ offers liquidity,
$BBJP provides a low fee structure, and
$DXJ serves to hedge against currency swings. Traders are pricing in this mandate as the potential source of the stability that international investors have been craving.
And Let it RIP
