TODAY'S MARKET

Today’s Japanese Stock Market Strategy

Strategies

  1. Buy High-Tech Stocks.
  2. Follow the Movement of Kawasaki Kisen.
  3. None.

Explanation

Considering the mid-term potential rise in high-tech stocks, it’s advisable to diversify investments based on market capitalization and sectors. For large-cap stocks, IT companies like M3 and GMO Payment Gateway in the IT sector, and semiconductor companies like Laser Tech and Advantest could be good choices. For small to mid-cap stocks, IT companies like Mercari and semiconductor companies like Socionext might be promising. Observing the US stock market, there isn’t a strong buying trend, so adopting a humble approach for day trading and investing in already performing stocks seems prudent.

The mention of Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha in the second strategy is because of its significant movement observed yesterday. Its unusual upward trend suggests buying if it continues upward from the opening price and selling if it goes downward, potentially leading to relatively easy profits.

Review of Today’s Japanese Stock Market

Prominent Movers

  1. Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha
  2. Laser Tech (Semiconductor)
  3. Monotaro

Explanation

Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha experienced a consistent decline after opening, probably because those who needed to buy after yesterday’s unique surge had already made their purchases. If many people had been patient and waited to buy during yesterday’s rise, it might have continued today. Whether it will rise or fall today isn’t certain as of yesterday, but understanding the uniqueness of yesterday’s movement can help predict today’s trends, either upward or downward.

The rise in semiconductor stocks, including Laser Tech, is perceived as a consequence of falling interest rates. On the other hand, stocks like Monotaro, M3, and GMO Payment Gateway are declining, creating interpretational challenges. Day trading might be challenging, and for the mid-term, it might be beneficial to consider the overall upward trend. However, respecting the sense of uncertainty and minimizing risks is crucial. Monotaro’s movement is due to its performance, but if today’s movement contradicts the short-term trends, it could increase the motivation to take on more risks.

Conclusion

While interest rates are declining, there hasn’t been a significant change in the overall situation for high-tech stocks. If there were clearer signals, it would be easier to make decisions, but for now, the best approach might be to hold positions and wait for more distinct market movements.
