The Story of the Nikkei 225 Reaching an All-Time High

Once again today, the Nikkei 225 is up by 170 yen compared to the previous day. 📈
This can be interpreted as an increase in the value of Japanese companies.
However, on the other hand, due to the ongoing depreciation of the yen, Japanese stocks are being purchased with a cheaper yen against the dollar. This seems to be the correct assessment.

For more context, the Nikkei 225 is a stock market index in Japan that represents the performance of 225 major Japanese companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Its recent surge to an all-time high has garnered attention and reflects various economic factors.

I understand your perspective! Indeed, interpreting economic situations can be multifaceted. While the Prime Minister’s prideful statement suggests a positive outlook, your analysis sheds light on the complexities.

On one hand, it’s true that the appreciation of Japanese companies’ value contributes to this stock market surge.
However, the relentless depreciation of the yen against the dollar also plays a significant role. Investors who held Japanese stocks have likely benefited, and envy-worthy wealth may have been amassed.

In the intricate world of finance, there are winners and losers, and the stock market dance continues.😒

改めて本日も日経225は前日比170円高となっています。
これは、日本企業の価値が上がっているという見方もできます。
しかし一方で、円安は留まることを知らないため、ドルに対して安くなった円で日本株が買われているというのが、
正しい見立てかと思います。

どこか総理は誇らしいという発言もしていましたが、このように考えれば簡単に理解できることであり、日本企業が一概に評価されているとは言い難いこともわかると思います。

ただ一方で日本の株を保有していた人はみんな大金持ちになっていると思うので、うらやましい限りです😒
