The Nikkei 225 has reached new all-time highs (almost reaching 44,000), driven by strong domestic economic indicators and robust corporate earnings.
The yen has strengthened against the US dollar, influenced by
1) speculation over the timing of a rate cut from the FOMC, and
2) the Bank of Japan's hawkish stance and expectations of interest rate hikes.
(narrowing of monetary policy between the two countries)
Historically, a weaker yen (rising USD/JPY - thin blue line) has been beneficial for Japanese exporters, leading to increased corporate earnings and, consequently, a rising Nikkei 225.
But, at times, this inverse relationship has shown signs of divergence.
The current divergence between the USDJPY and the Nikkei 225 suggests that the Nikkei 225 is increasingly driven by domestic economic factors rather than the traditional USD/JPY correlation.
In the short term, the Nikkei 225 may continue its upward momentum, supported by strong economic fundamentals and investor confidence.
With the price breaking out and staying above the upward channel, climbing toward the 45,000 price level.
Medium-Term Risks: Potential geopolitical tensions and shifts in global economic conditions could introduce volatility in the medium term. This could lead to a retracement down to 42,000 before trading higher again.
While the traditional correlation has weakened, ongoing monitoring of USD/JPY movements remains essential, as significant fluctuations could still impact investor sentiment.
