Asia-Pacific stock markets are booming! The Japanese version of S&P 500 has returned to historical highs, and global funds are flowing in. Is this a good investment opportunity?
Market analysis generally points out that the Asia-Pacific stock market is relatively undervalued. Since June, foreign investors' funds have continued to inflow, ending the situation of two consecutive months of withdrawal. Strong bidding is expected to support its continued growth.
Although the number of participants is limited, the buying interest on dips is strong.
The Nikkei average fell slightly. The trading ended at 40,912.37 yen, down 1.28 yen (with a volume of approximately 1.63 billion shares). On July 4th, the US market was closed for Independence Day, limiting market participants. The Nikkei average stock price reached a high of 41,100.13 yen shortly after the opening, but then the market became stagnant. However, the buying interest of funds that missed the opportunity to buy when it dropped to 40,746.89 yen shortly after the opening in the second half remained strong due to the rapid rise in the current situation.
