Emerging Markets outlook: Attention may turn towards lightly traded ultra-low-priced stocks and biotech-related stocks.

■ Emerging Markets are left out of the investment choices. This week, Emerging Markets declined. During the same period, the Nikkei average fell by -1.95%, while the Growth Market Index fell by -2.67%, and the Growth Market 250 Index fell by -3.09%, indicating that Emerging Markets were relatively weaker. As attention turns to the central bank meetings in Japan and the United States, reports of Nissan <7201> and Honda <7267> beginning discussions on a management integration have redirected interest towards auto stocks and Auto Parts suppliers in the Main Board, leaving Emerging Markets out of the investment picture.
