Japanese Stocks Have Crashed Over 1000 Points Since Friday

Tyler Durden's picture




 

After ticking just above 110.00, USDJPY has been a one-way street lower and that means only one thing... Japanese stocks are cratering. From Friday's highs, The Nikkei 225 has crashed over 1000 points (despite Abe's promises yet again of more pension reform buying of stocks).

 

 

Of note, perhaps, is that, Japanese investors bought a net $3.6 billion of foreign stocks last week - the most since January 2009 - perfectly top-ticking global equities... Well played Mrs. Watanabe.

The higher taxes put in earlier this year are coming home to roost.  Look for tax "cut" back to where it was.  BFTD!

Maybe the pension funds never heard of the concept of the "bagholder".

CNBS just had a great battle over GoPro Unlock since there was apparently a spike in trading earlier this week ahead of the announcement.

Markets are just taking a much needed "breather"! Got a little ahead of itself, infestors are taking profits.

Prepare for a turbo charged rebound Friday, the savy infestor knows this.

Don't believe that, well CNBS sez it is so, so it must be.

 It is clear that the prospects for Japan are lousy. The writing is on the wall. Japan is facing a wall of debt that can only be addressed by printing more money and debasing their currency. This means paying off their debt with worthless yen where possible and in many cases defaulting on promises made. Japan's public debt, which stands at around 230% of its GDP and is the highest in the industrialized world.

The moment the Japaneses stock market fails to rise enough to offset inflation and realizes even a weaker yen will not help we will see a tsunami of money fleeing Japan. This will constitute the end of the line for those left holding both JGBs and the yen. This has been a long time coming and I contend the cross-border flow of money leaving Japan is why some stock markets have remained so resilient . When Japan crumbles it will be felt across the world. More on this subject in the article below.
