The Japanese economy is experiencing a "dual situation of ice and fire"! Manufacturing continues to shrink, while the service industry rises against the trend.
Japan's economy continued to see a contraction in manufacturing activity in December, entering its sixth month of contraction, while the services sector maintained a growth trend.
Reports indicate that the Bank of Japan will "hold steady" next week, and Bank of America expects the interest rate hike may be postponed until March next year.
Five sources familiar with the thoughts of the Bank of Japan stated that the Bank is inclined to keep interest rates unchanged next week. However, Bank of America warned that if the Bank of Japan continues to delay interest rate hikes until March next year, the yen could depreciate again to 155 or slightly below the 157 level reached in November.
Against the backdrop of rising U.S. tech stocks and a weaker yen, it temporarily recovered to the 0.04 million yen level.
The Nikkei average rose significantly for the fourth consecutive day, closing at 39,849.14 yen, up 476.91 yen (Volume approximately 1.9 billion 30 million shares). Since the previous day's USA market was driven by buying in technology stocks, buying started off strongly, and in the mid-morning session, it rose to 40,091.55 yen, recovering the important level of 0.04 million yen for the first time since October 15. Additionally, the yen exchange rate depreciated to 152 yen to the dollar, which was also favorable for export-related stocks.
