☆ Japan's stock markets are on a tear. Will 'zombie’ firms threaten the bull run?
  + stars: | 2024-02-09 | by ( Lim Hui Jie | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
What are zombie companies? Japan's "zombie" problem has been around for a long time, said William Pesek, author of the book "Japanization: What the World Can Learn from Japan's Lost Decades." Raising the borrowing cost will put these zombie companies at risk of bankruptcy and bailouts, which could have a broader impact on the economy if there are job losses. "But the aid program has led to an increase in the number of 'zombie' companies that would otherwise have been unable to continue operating," the report added. Japan's stock markets have also been testing new highs since 2023, and higher interest rates could halt the bull run.

☆ Japan's Nikkei hits 33-year high as Asia markets rebound
  + stars: | 2024-01-09 | by ( Lim Hui Jie | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: 1 min
Tokyo Tower and Christmas street light up from Roppongi. Asia-Pacific markets mostly rose Tuesday, rebounding from a sell-off in the previous session, with the Nikkei 225 hitting a 33-year high on the back of gains in tech stocks. Investors also assessed December inflation numbers for Japan's capital city of Tokyo, which are a leading indicator for nationwide inflation. Core inflation — which strips out prices of fresh food — remained unchanged at 2.1%, and came in line with expectations. Australia's retail sales for November 2023 also rose more than expected, gaining 2% month-on-month and beating economists expectations of 1.2% in a Reuters poll.

☆ In Japan, your parents do the speed-dating for you

Each of the parents has forked out 14,000 yen ($96) to attend this event, hosted by the matchmaking agency Association of Parents of Marriage Proposal Information. It’s not that Japan, a notoriously work-obsessed nation where time is at a premium, hasn’t tried out the more direct approach to speed-dating, where the youngsters do it for themselves. Japan remains a highly patriarchal society in which married women are often expected to take the caregiver role, despite government efforts to get husbands more involved. But however great the yearning for grandchildren, Miyagoshi says she always emphasizes to parents that their children should come first. No matter how much parents want grandchildren, the children must be willing to have children,” she said.

The firm noted that foreign investors bought a net 2.1 trillion yen ($15.4 billion) worth of Japanese stocks in April – adding that Japan's corporate sector remains the largest net buyer of Japanese stocks, with a volume of 1.1 trillion yen year-to-date. Central bank focusSociete Generale strategists added that their overweight position on Japanese equities remains unchanged. The Japanese yen traded at slightly weaker levels to 136.43 against the greenback on Wednesday. "Keep an overweight position on Japan equities, unhedged, and biased to banks, financials, and value," they wrote. "Specifically, we note the solid fundamentals compared with stocks on overseas markets, and we also think that expectations for structural changes/reforms could push Japanese equities up even further," wrote Japan equity strategist Kazunori Tatebe.
