Nikkei 225 Futures Discussions

"The Nikkei's gains are sharp and there will be some adjustment, but that will be very limited because Japanese stocks are still underperforming their global peers," said Koichi Kurose, chief strategist, Resona Asset Management.
Lol! Such comments never mean much in my experience. You may as well roll the dice. The real question at the core of these short term moves has shifted. Will the BOJ keep its smoke screens and fabrications justifying a weak yen? Will markets continue to buy the dips and the narratives. Will the government and BOJ wise up and tackle the enormous debt that the people of Japan are on the hook for? And will you know who just stand by and watch as exports juice exporter profits without asking much in return.

Huge miss on industrial production and up we go. More money printing on the way. I think Japan needs to start building factories to build machines that just print money. It has become one of the biggest industries on the planet.
So what is Nikkei top? 45k ?
@Daxshort Doh some resistance levels would be 40.880 (which is rejecting for now), then previous ATH (42.480), and last one around 43.300. After that who knows
Gap losing 40500 that what it is aiming
1900 points more and it will break ath. What a days where no real trading only option trading.

Diversify to HSI & China A50 :)
10 1 hourly candles green non stop and shorting
No one can beat boj. Thry are buying and u follow trend.
The BOJ is NOT buying. Ueda recently spoke about selling, to be honest. And if you go to their website and do some downloads, you will clearly see that is the case. If you knew the slightest bit about the BOJ and its activities, you would also know that it recently sold some of its stock positions, but not any ETFs.
Will this ever go down ??
No
Why is Nikkei going up endlessly ?
Irrational euphoria. It often takes its lead from the US. The irrational euphoria in the US is through the roof. Two years of insane returns have people thinking its going to continue. Does that kind of thing EVER happen? History says no. Valuations say no. Fundamentals say no. But the exuberance and FOMO are powering markets up for now.
How do Japanese respond to more inflation, lower rates, a very weak currency, massive government debt and bubble stock prices because of state controlled markets? They already feel unrewarded for their hard work, unable to get any return on their savings, and very uncertain about their futures. Many except that the zombie companies they work for won't give them raises to keep up with the rising cost of living. They know that stocks crashed in 1989 and because of mismanagement of the problem Japan has suffered many lost decades. And so what do they do? They cut back and save even more of their less and less valuable money. They opt not to have kids because they worry about the costs, such as for their education. They worry the government's debts are so massive their paltry retirement income might even leave them homeless. And they know that the government will never do the right thing for them.
very interesting, what you thinki about last economic data cpi?
The BOJ is full of it. They talk about raising rates, but do not follow through. Inflation has run high for a while now, and they give rate hikes lip service only. They are simply part of the government in Japan, and they want to control markets. They are not happy unless they are tinkering with them. Like a lot of central banks now, they are just a tool for the government. And now it is all about financial repression in Japan. The goal is to print, print, print and devalue Japanese currency, and be as competitive in global markets that way, achieving that by exporting. Meanwhile, they try to appear like that is not the goal. And so the BOJ holds rates down, and tries using smoke and mirrors to hide behind.
Everyone at the BOJ ought to take an IQ test. Second, they ought to write an economics exam to assure they have an even elementary grasp of basic economics 101 principles.
Great job, BOJ. Your endless and excessive use of your tools have made savers of Japan even more wary of buying your assets and any abroad because of your incompetance. They just don't spend because they can't get a fair return on their savings and inflation is eating them away. You've single handedly made asset prices are artificial and unpredictable. Plus your currency is a roller coaster. Never mind that you opened the door to the government of Japan to endlessly spend recklessly so that it now have massive debt. Way to go!
And don't get me started on your endless support of zombie companies. Such a joke!
There is no trade deal. That is because the BOJ should have raised rates. Why would the BOJ explicitly not follow the wise course of action if the people at the BOJ know their economics?
So Japan is no further ahead and has propogated massive bubbles in assets, creating a massive wealth divide and a pending reversion of massive proportions.. Brilliant!
If politisns were financially literate it sure would help. But the BOJ has no valid reason for not keeping them in check.
Put another way, the BOJ ought to raise rates. Then the government would be forced to stop its reckless spending and focus more on serving its population who have to rely on their savings earning NO returns in retirement, and when thinking about having a family.
So many asset bubbles...And so few levers left to pull. They have so exaggerated the boom, the bust will be of historic proportions.
Any Japanese person who has heard of the Austrian School and any Japanese person who has studied economics must be wondering why the BOJ persists in market distortion that robs them of returns on bonds, robs them of returns on stocks, and why the government has for so long spent so recklessly as to amass such a massive debt pile. I mean no wonder Japanese save hand over fist and don't have kids. They have zero confidence in the future of Japan thinking it is going to be the next Zimbabwe or Weimar Republic.
So many years of market manipulation and lies. Just let the market alone, please. They have so distorted it they have courted the money of the unknowing who are going to get crushed in the coming storm. They have taken away all price discovery, and make it a casino where you roll the dice. How can anyone save for retirement with this sham BOJ and government. Such a farce.
import export data negative index up big scam
The BOJ is back pushing this overpriced fraud up again. Such a scam.
They gotta keep those zombie companies hammering away at Japan's worsening future.
So sick of the lying, We are going to raise interest rates. Such bull spit. If you are going to lie, nobody can trust you anymore. The endless excuses just keep coming. Anything to have a competitive advantage with exports, keep the government from stopping its reckless spending and keeping the zombie companies propped up. Unbelievable.
lmfao. ok.

What is nikkei flying?
What’s happening
So you now you either buy stocks at state controlled prices thst can again crash or you eat currency debasement?
Yeah, and so then the BOJ gets the bright idea of buying bonds itself, which allows the government the freedom to spend recklessly and stick the people with the bill via lost buying power. So you have to double down on saving even more toilet paper.
No trade deal. I have said it for a long time now that Japan needed to raise rates for a lot of solid economic reasons. A long, long time ago. Period. The longer it drags its feet, the deeper the hole it has to dig itself out from. End of story.
