US Investors Increasingly Buy Japanese Stocks Amid Strong Market Performance
This year, the Japanese stock market has shown a strong performance, leading to an increase in American investors purchasing Japanese stocks.
On the 10th, Goldman Sachs released a report analyzing the rapid pace of American capital inflow into Japan, noting that it is moving at its fastest rate since the implementation of Abenomics. Bruce Kirk, a senior strategist at Goldman Sachs, stated that "the participation of American investors in the Japanese stock market is at its highest since October 2022."
Recently, the Japanese stock market has been on an upward trend, attributed to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichis economic stimulus policies and the rising yen-dollar exchange rate. Notably, while the S&P 500 in the U.S. has increased by 14% this year, the Nikkei index has surged by nearly 30%. According to Goldman Sachs, American investors are focusing their purchases on technology and artificial intelligence (AI) related stocks in Japan.
According to the Japan Exchange Group, foreign investors purchased Japanese stocks worth 284 billion yen (approximately 36 billion USD) in the last two weeks of last month in both the spot and futures markets. Kirk noted that "the net holdings of Japanese stocks by global investors are still at a low level, suggesting that there is potential for further capital inflow."
However, he cautioned that given the recent sharp rise in the Nikkei index, it may enter a correction phase. The Nikkei 225 index even surpassed the 50,000 mark for the first time last month.
