Japan Weekly | Asics, Matsukiyo, Nexon

By Mark Chadwick

  • After a bullish week for Japanese equities last week, this week was a bit blah. The average return for our watchlist was -0.3%, with 57 of 120 registering a gain
  • Over the past one month, the yen has gained 10-big figures against the dollar and the NKY has gained 3%
  • Japanese inflation at 40-year high; Kishida meets Xi; Visitors to Japan tops 500k in October; & corporate tax may be hiked to fund defense spending
