The Nikkei 225 continues its record hunt. After around three months of consolidation, the leading Japanese barometer has picked up speed in the last three weeks with an increase of almost 9%, breaking the all-time high recorded in March. At that time, the Nikkei rose above 40,000 for the first time in its history, ending the decade-long bear market that had begun when the bubble burst in December 1989 at not quite 39,000.

Over the past three days, significant changes have occurred in the Japanese stock market and the USD/JPY exchange rate. On August 4, 2024, the Nikkei 225 index experienced a dramatic 12% drop, marking its largest single-day decline since 1987. This sharp fall was driven by increased global recession fears due to disappointing economic data from the United States and a larger-than-expected interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) . Following this steep decline, the Nikkei 225 index rebounded by 10% on August 6, closing at 34,675.46 points. This recovery was partly due to efforts by the BoJ to calm the markets and renewed buying interest from investors . In the foreign exchange market, the USD/JPY pair saw significant fluctuations. Over the past few weeks, the Japanese yen appreciated by more than 10% against the US dollar, largely due to the unwinding of carry trades. Carry trading involves borrowing in low-interest-rate currencies, such as the yen, to invest in higher-yielding assets elsewhere. The BoJ’s unexpected rate hike and the yen’s subsequent strengthening triggered a reversal of these trades . #usdjpy #travel #economy #finance #marketing #stocks #bond #investing #banking #data
