This week's financial results and economic calendar (4/29~5/3) pay attention to Japan-US financial results and the US FOMC! Mr. Buffett's general shareholders' meeting will be held!
Japanese stocks are expected to rise heavily this week. The Tokyo market will only be present for 3 days this week, but important events continue in the US, and there is a possibility that the market price will be rough in some cases. Also, there is a possibility that US economic indicators will lead to a retreat in interest rate reduction observations, which will cool down investors' desire to buy. Meanwhile, as Japan-US financial results have been announced one after another, searching using corporate performance as a clue has taken center stage, and it seems that it will support the market price.
In domestic corporate accounts, for companies with historic wage increases and the depreciation of the yenInvestors' attention is being drawn to the impact of cost increase factors. In order for Japanese stocks to reach a higher level, they are not biased towards some export sectors such as automobiles,A bright earnings outlook is needed for a wide range of industries, including the domestic demand sectorThat's it.The domestic demand sector shows a good performance plan, and whether stock prices can rebound is an important point. Also, the yen broke through the milestone of 155 yen against the dollar and hit a low for the first time in 34 years to the 158 yen range, and concerns about rising import costs of raw materials, energy, etc. have weighed on the upper price of Japanese stocks as a whole. If it becomes a trend where you aim for 1 dollar = 160 yen nonstop,“Depreciation of yen = sale of Japanese stocks”I want to keep in mind that there is a risk that bad associations will work.
The main focus is on the US FOMC to be held this week. Most people expect that the policy will remain unchanged, but Chairman Powell responded to future monetary policy at a press conferenceThe focus is on what kind of attitude it showsthat's it. David Donavedian of CIBC Private Wealth US stated that “it's not far before all interest rate cut observations disappear,” and Chairman Powell saidPossibility of making more hawkish statementsIt showed the view that there is. Chairman Powell overturned his previous views on 4/16, saying “due to recent economic data, we clearly no longer have confidence (of achieving inflation targets), and it will still take time to gain that confidence.” Furthermore, on the 3rdU.S. Employment Statisticswill also be announced, so don't lose your mind. If economic indicators such as employment are stronger than market expectations and interest rate hikes are necessary, it is likely that Japanese stocks will also be affected by depreciation of US stocks due to stock price valuation adjustments due to rising interest rates.Scenario where the yield on 10-year US bonds rises to the 5% markIt also takes on a sense of reality.
This week's dollar to yenRemain highIt is expected. Since the Bank of Japan did not show a strong stance on correcting the depreciation of the yen, the depreciation of the yen seems to advance further in the near future. Also, with the passing of the Bank of Japan meeting, the immediate focus has shifted to FOMC, US employment statistics, etc. If the FOMC emphasizes a cautious stance on lowering US interest rates, there is a possibility that pressure on the dollar will intensify further. Mizuho Securities chief exchange strategist said, “There are still many participants who want to buy dollars. If there is a situation where the dollar falls, including yen buying intervention, purchases will come out soon,” and it is predicted that the dollar will continue to stay high for a while.
This week in the US $Amazon (AMZN.US)$and semiconductor giants $Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$、 $Apple (AAPL.US)$, led by Mr. Buffett $Berkshire Hathaway-A (BRK.A.US)$There are many financial results for high-profile companies, etc. In particular, the financial results of Apple, whose stock price is currently weak, are likely to attract attention. BankameMake Apple the top pick in '24specified. The reason is optimism about this week's financial results and the brightness of medium- to long-term prospects. However, they also showed a cautious view that “the demand environment is weak, and if guidance is lowered, there is a possibility that it will be a downward factor in stock prices.” Analysts say, “Apple's up until nowAnxiety materials have been factored inIt looks like this, but since there is a lot of volatility in the current market, it is necessary to be careful,” he pointed out. Since an Apple event focusing on AI is scheduled, it was recommended to buy when stock prices fell after settlement.
Berkshire Hathaway, led by the “god of investment” Buffett, will announce financial results on 5/4. The stock price of Apple, which is the main investment destination, is year-to-dateOver 11%It has declined, and investment returns have become a burden, but Berkshire Hathaway's wide range of businesses is due to sustained economic recoveryStable cash flowThere is a high possibility that it will benefit from Also, Mr. Buffett's annual general shareholders' meeting will be held from May 3 to 4. The company recently issued a debt of 260 billion yen in Japan, and Mr. Buffett once againThere is a possibility that it will show a bullish stance on Japanese stocksThere is.

よろぴこ : Recently, Japanese stocks did not rise even when the yen depreciated, but this was because the situation was bad.
PCE's month-on-month growth rate also matches market expectations, and overall M7's financial results are good. The Middle East is now a bit on the sidelines. The Bank of Japan is also pigeons. The depreciation of the yen has accelerated soon, and I think it's time to start working on a positive stock price starting next week.
