- The Japanese stock market plunged over 800 yen on June 17th, fueled by economic and political instability in the US and Europe.
- Weak US economic indicators and political unrest in Europe dampened investor sentiment, leading to a global stock market decline.
- Experts expect the pace of US interest rate hikes and the political situation in Europe to significantly impact the Japanese stock market going forward.
On Monday, June 17, the Japanese stock market plunged more than 800 yen shortly after opening. This is attributed to the global stock market decline due to the US economic indicators falling short of expectations over the weekend and the unstable political situation in Europe. The Japanese yen is trading at around 157 yen per dollar in the Tokyo foreign exchange market. (Television Asahi)
The decline in the Japanese stock market is attributed primarily to recent economic and political instability in the United States and Europe. The weak US economic indicators have heightened expectations of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates, dampening investor sentiment. Moreover, political instability in Europe, linked to the prolonged war between Russia and Ukraine, is increasing uncertainty about the European economy.
Experts expect volatility in the Japanese stock market to continue in the short term. Particularly, the pace of US interest rate hikes and the political situation in Europe are expected to significantly impact the future direction of the stock market.
