Japanese stocks plunged, "squeezing the bubble", is it time to buy low?
The market is betting on a rebound in Japanese stocks, with the growth rate of call options contracts for the Nikkei 225 index exceeding that of put options. The current expected PE ratio of the TOPIX index is 13 times, far lower than that of the US stock market. However, Japanese stocks still face the risk of a strengthening yen and further interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan.

Due to the sharp rise in the yen, a wide range of stocks are being sold off.
The Nikkei average fell sharply for the first time in four days, closing at 38,126.33 yen (-975.49 yen) with a volume of about 2.507 billion shares due to a strengthening yen due to expectations of a narrowing of the interest rate differential between Japan and the United States following the results of the Japanese and U.S. financial policy meetings, leading to selling pressure on a wide range of stocks. The Nikkei average widened its losses towards the end of the morning session, falling to a level of 37,737.88 yen. While there was some stability around 38,000 yen thereafter, there were also some attempts to pick up bargains, but trading was cautious.
