Goldman Sachs' Pasquariello: Japanese Stocks Are Excelling on the Back of Lower JBG Yields and Weaker JPY
Although the number of participants is limited, the buying interest on dips is strong.
The Nikkei average fell slightly, ending the trade at 40,912.37 yen (with an estimated volume of 1.63 billion shares). On July 4th, the US market was closed for Independence Day, so the number of market participants was limited. The Nikkei average stock price reached a high of 41,100.13 yen just after opening, but then the market became stagnant. However, although it fell to 40,746.89 yen just after the opening in the afternoon, strong bargain-hunting buying by funds that were late to buy due to the rapid rise at the moment continued.

Like the S&P 500, Japan's Topix Equity Index Is Highly Concentrated and Flying High
Even after recovering to 40,000 yen, there was no significant adjustment and the range continued to rise.
The Nikkei Average rose significantly for the fourth consecutive business day, ending trading at 40,580.76 yen, up 506.07 yen (with a volume of approximately 1.69 billion shares traded). The market trend was dominated by buyers due to the rise of major stock indices in the US market the previous day. High-tech stocks with high index contribution pushed up the index, and the Nikkei Average extended its gains to 40,694.21 yen towards the end of the afternoon trading. The US market was closed on the 4th for Independence Day holidays, and trading was shortened on the 3rd, so there was not much aggressive trading.

Sell-offs are likely to occur near 40,000 yen profit-taking.
Nikkei average index continued to rise slightly, closing at 39,631.06 yen, up 47.98 yen (trading volume estimated at 1.62 billion shares). Investor sentiment improved as the Bank of Japan released the Tankan survey of short-term economic observation of nationwide enterprises in June, and the business conditions DI of large manufacturing companies improved, leading to a buy trend at the opening of the session. The Nikkei average index widened its gains to 39942.69 yen immediately after the start of trading. However, profit-taking selling occurred ahead of the recovery to the 40,000 yen mark, and ahead of the upcoming ETF listings on the 8th and 10th in the afternoon.
