3 Overview Overview Ⅰ Economy and Market Trends 1 Economic Overview The Japanese economy maintained a moderate recovery trend from 2016 to the 1 st half of GDP proved solid with both nominal and real GDP showing positive growth rates for 5 consecutive quarters from Jan March Real GDP posted a 0.6% increase in the first quarter of 2016 with contributions from personal consumption growth and others that were ramifications of leap year factors and the 2 nd quarter saw a 0.3% growth with increased investments into housing with declining mortgage interest rates. The 3 rd quarter resulted in a 0.3% positive growth followed by the 0.4% positive growth in the 4 th quarter with increase in exports against the backdrop of global economy showing stronger signs of recovery. The 1 st quarter of 2017 also posted a 0.4% growth with continuing trends of increasing exports. Corporate earnings (ordinary profits) in FY 2016 remained at high levels throughout the year and reached a record high out of the last 16 years at 76,117.1 billion. Ordinary profits to sales also posted a 16-year high at 5.8%. Consumer Price Index (CPI) was negative 0.3% year on year. This was the first time since 2013 when BOJ started its quantitative and qualitative monetary easing policy that CPI dropped from the previous year, revealing the clear delay in overcoming deflation. Corporate Goods Price Index (CGPI) saw the biggest fall since the 2009 global financial crisis of 3.5% year on year in response to the stronger yen on top of declining oil prices. The unemployment rate hovered around 3.1%, improving from the previous year on an annual basis. The job-offers to seekers ratio reached 1.36 times, a record high in 25 years since the 1.40 times back in Stock Market In 2016, the Nikkei 225 Stock Average started at 18,818 but dropped to less than 15,000 levels due to the strengthening yen coming from risk averse moves and further stock price decline with BOJ s January end decision on deploying a negative interest rate policy. However, though in a limited manner, it soon returned to a rising trend coming into March since economic uncertainties of Emerging markets and resource countries moderated and after reaching 17,000 levels, the market repeatedly went up and down. Yet it once again plunged to below 15,000 when Brexit was decided as a result of the UK referendum in June. Corporate earnings worsened after the summer against a backdrop of stronger yen sentiment but the market remained steady with strong overseas stock exchange recoveries, postponement of additional consumption tax hike, BOJ s decision to double ETF purchases and others. After the US presidential election in November, drastic weakening of the yen coming from rising US interest rates heightened expectations for improved corporate earnings leading to a recovery reaching 19,000 levels in December with the year s trade closing at 19,114. Stock prices remained strong into 2017 but plummeted to 18,300 levels in April due to geopolitical risk emerging from North Korea. However, stock prices turned to a rising trend with receding risk averse attitudes after the French presidential election, recovering to 20,000 levels at the end of June in light of globally rising stock prices and good corporate earnings. Equity financing (paid-in capital increase) by publicly listed companies totaled 1,029.4 billion, a 84.9 billion decrease year on year. The number of initial public offerings (IPOs) decreased to 93 companies, less 11 companies from the previous year yet the IPOs totaled billion, up by 99.3 billion compared to the previous year. 3 Bond Market In 2016, the long-term interest rate (simple interest yield on newly issued 10-year JGBs) started at 0.262% and remained in the lower half of 0.2 % levels but when BOJ decided at the end of January to introduce a quantitative/qualitative monetary easing with negative interest rate, it dropped steeply to 0.1%, points from the previous day and by February 9 th, it dropped to %, the first ever negative figure. The negative range widened slightly since then and dropped to -0.3% at a point in time due to risk averse behavior observed when Brexit was decided in June. However, the long term interest rate rose slightly when BOJ did not further the negative interest rate levels but increased their ETF purchases in July. Further, when BOJ s flexibility in their JGB purchasing methods through Yield Curve Control was decided in September, JGBs were sold and long-term interest rates momentarily recovered to positive levels for the first time in 6 months. It continued hovering around in negative range after that but US Treasury yields rose post US presidential elections in November from strong expectations towards Mr. Trump s to be announced policies which heightened upwards pressure on yen interest rates and long-term interest rates went into positive range. After that, though the level of rise was limited, rates remained in positive range and long-term interest rates stayed around 0.05% levels towards the end of the year with 2016 trade closing at 0.040%. Coming into 2017, longterm interest rates remain low and steady in the 0% to 0.1% range due to BOJ s continuing Yield Curve Control and others. The total OTC bond trading volume dropped by 11% year on 01
