How do you view the recent "hawkish" stance of the Bank of Japan executives? Goldman Sachs: The next interest rate hike may still have to wait until January next year.
Goldman Sachs believes that when evaluating the timing of interest rate hikes, it is important to consider financial market stability and inflation trends. The bank predicts that January next year will be the best time to determine whether Japan's inflation will rebound, and based on this, determine that Japan will raise interest rates in January. However, if there is significant turmoil in the financial markets, the timing of the rate hike may become uncertain.

High-tech-led expansion due to the nvidia effect.
[Stock Opening Comment] In the Japanese stock market on the 12th, it is likely to be a development to determine the firmness after a round of buying. The core consumer price index (CPI) for August in the U.S. unexpectedly accelerated, which caused expectations of a significant interest rate cut to recede, and there were scenes where the NY Dow was sold off. However, after a round of selling, there was a strong buying back movement led by technology stocks. In addition, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, Mr. Solomon, is predicting a soft landing at the event hosted by the company.

Former senior official Tomoko Amaya of the Japan Ministry of Finance said that the central bank may raise interest rates again before the end of the year; she said that what matters is not the level or volatility of stock prices, but the level of confidence. The stable recovery of the market is enough to make interest rate hikes possible this year.
Selling ahead, but the yen's strength is easing the decline.
The Nikkei average fell for 5 consecutive business days. It ended the trade at 36,215.75 yen, down 175.72 yen (with a volume estimate of 1.8 billion shares). Concerns about the slowdown in the US economy resurfaced following the release of the August US employment statistics on the 6th, causing selling to spread to Japanese stocks. In addition, the yen appreciated temporarily, with the dollar reaching the 141 yen level, which also had an impact. The Nikkei average widened its decline in the mid-morning session and fell to 35,247.87 yen. However, after the yen stopped appreciating, there were buying opportunities and Globex's trade was entered.
