Why Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Stock Popped Today
This big Japanese bank stock still looks like a buy.
After a prolonged period of unconventional monetary policy, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) has embarked on a significant shift, moving away from negative interest rates—a decision that marks the end of the world's last negative interest rate policy. This pivotal change is expected to have wide-ranging effects on the Japanese economy, influencing everything from consumer behavior to corporate finance strategies, in particular how companies approach dividend payouts.
Why Rivian, QuantumScape, and Blink Charging Jumped Today
Protectionism is what's being cheered by the market today.
More than half of Japan's largest companies have announced plans to raise their dividends in the current fiscal year. The announcement of share buybacks is also at an all-time high, as firms announced $7.7 billion worth of share buybacks in April - a record for the first month of a fiscal year. This is all part of the normalization of both Japan's economy and corporate behavior, and it's a moneymaking trend for investors.
The BOJ today ended eight years of negative interest rates that began in 2016. It’s a symbolically important policy change, but the benefits to Japanese banks should be very real. Here's how investors should approach this historic policy shift.
