Reason for tsunami in Japan’s market

The reason for the fall in Japan’s stock market may be political change. In fact, Japan’s ruling Liberal Democrats have chosen former Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba as the next Prime Minister. Ishiba will replace current Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Tuesday, who has resigned due to a drop in his popularity rating.

After winning the party vote on Friday, Ishiba said that he would continue to follow Kishida’s vision to increase the pace of Japan’s sluggish economic growth. However, experts of Japan’s political situation say that the market and investors would have taken the victory of Ishiba’s top rival and Economic Security Minister Sane Takaichi in a more positive way.

Why is China’s stock market booming?

The Chinese government is constantly trying to promote the real estate sector. For this, a relief package has also been announced. This has had a very positive effect on the stock market. Hang Seng and Shanghai have climbed 13 percent in just one week.

China is trying to reduce the borrowing cost of the real estate sector. It has eased the rules for many home buyers in many provinces. The Shanghai Composite was trading at Rs 3,263.59 with a gain of 5.70 percent at 9.10 am. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was also up more than 3 percent.

Impact of Japan and China on India

stock market

Last time when the Japanese stock market fell due to the ‘Yen carry trade’, it had a very negative impact on the Indian market as well. However, this time there is not much scope for this to happen, because the major reason for the fall in Japan is the political turmoil there. Japan’s stock market can become normal again as soon as the political situation becomes normal.

On the other hand, if we talk about China, it can have both positive and negative impact on the Indian stock market. The revival of China’s real estate market means that now it will not dump products like steel in markets like India at very cheap rates, which will benefit Indian industry. On the other hand, foreign portfolio investors may withdraw money from the Indian market and go there in the possibility of good growth in China. This can be a loss for us in the near term.
