Japanese shares attained levels on Monday not seen in over 3 decades. Bolstered by robust earnings and an increased demand from offshore investors, an uninterrupted three-week trajectory has been evident in the market. Furthermore, the Chinese Central Bank’s actions resulted in an appreciation of the yuan, which indirectly induced a softness in the dollar. The Nikkei, especially, had witnessed profit-booking at its peak but still reported an impressive gain of 8.2% for the month in progress, with the Topix trailing closely behind.
The MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares, excluding Japan, also saw a positive shift. It rising by 0.8%, further to last week’s 2.8% increase which had propelled it to a two-month high. This steady and sustained rally has been impelled by the strong earnings of companies and a sustained offshore demand, particularly from institutional and long-term investors. The devaluation of the dollar in response to China’s monetary policy has also contributed to the surge in these stocks. This trend is reflective of the overall bullish temper engulfing the Asian Market, with Japan’s shares at the forefront.
