3 Overview Overview Ⅰ Economy and Market Trends 1 Economic Overview The Japanese economy on the whole maintained a moderate recovery trend from 2017 to the first half of GDP grew in the first quarter of 2017, reaching a positive 0.7% due to factors such as increasing exports and personal consumption. The second quarter, driven by domestic demand, saw a positive 0.5% growth in response to increases in personal consumption and capital investment. The third quarter followed with 0.5% positive growth. Although the fourth quarter saw an increase in exports, a steep increase in imports held down growth. However, strong domestic demand made possible a stillpositive 0.3% growth rate. The first quarter of 2018 saw a number of negative factors, such as increases in the prices of perishable foods and unfavorable weather conditions, which put downward pressure on the economy and led to a negative 0.2% growth rate, the first negative growth in nine quarters (since the fourth quarter of 2015). Corporate earnings (ordinary profits) in FY 2017 remained at high levels throughout the year and reached a record-high 81,389 billion. Ordinary profits to sales also hit a record high at 5.9%. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) in 2017, due to an increase in oil prices, was a positive 0.5% year on year. The Corporate Goods Price Index (CGPI) had an uptick of positive 2.3% year on year, the first time in three years. The unemployment rate fell to 2.8%, a 24-year record low (since 2.5% in 1993). The job offers to applicant ratio reached 1.5 times, a record 44-year high (since 1.76 times back in 1973). 2 Stock Market In 2017, the Nikkei 225 Stock Average started strong at 19,298. However, conditions that include the appreciation of the yen, fears of protectionism by the US administration, and uncertainty over the French presidential elections pulled down the average. Going into March, rising US interest rates and geopolitical risk from North Korea resulted in a further downturn. After that, stock prices turned to a rising trend in May following lower risk-averse sentiment after the French presidential election, recovering to the 20,000 level in late June in light of good corporate earnings. From July until early September, downward pressure continued due to developments such as the decline in the approval rating for the current (Abe) administration as well as appreciation of the yen. However, due to the dissolution of the House of Representatives and the announcement of a general election for the middle of September, stock prices went up, and by October, the Nikkei rose to 22,000, the highest level since 1996, or about 21 years. Furthermore, stock prices continued to rise from October 2 to October 24, for 16 consecutive days, the longest continuous increase in history. Additionally, as a result of the elections for the House of Representatives, the rise in stock prices gained momentum, and by November, the Nikkei rose again to a level exceeding the highest record set in June 1996 after the collapse of the bubble, reaching the highest level since January After that, the adjustment continued, conscious of the ceiling of 23,000, and by the end of 2017, trades closed at 22,764, a 3,650 increase from the end of In 2018, the Nikkei 225 Stock Index began at 23,073, and remained steady in January. However, in February, stock prices plummeted due to a downturn in US stock markets and the appreciation of the yen. Later, stock prices fluctuated in the 21,000 and 22,000 ranges. Equity financing (paid-in capital increases) by publicly listed companies totaled 1,368.4 billion, a billion increase year on year. The number of initial public offerings (IPOs) increased to 103 companies, up by seven companies from the previous year. However, these IPOs totaled 90.4 billion, down by 100 billion compared with the previous year. 3 Bond Market In 2017, the long-term interest rate (simple interest yield on newly issued 10-year JGBs) started at 0.065% and fluctuated between 0.04% and 0.11%, but due to factors such as geopolitical risks surrounding Syria and North Korea, government bonds, considered to be assets safe from external factors, were widely bought and global interest rates declined, leading to a fall to 0.008% for the long-term interest rate. Later, as a result of the French presidential elections in May, interest rates began to rise, and inklings of monetary tightening led to an increase in the interest rates in Europe and the United States, so that by the first half of July interest rates had recovered temporarily to 0.1%. However, with the implementation of the limit price operation (no bidding) for the long-term zone on July 7, the interest rates again began to decline, and with the rise of geopolitical risk from North Korea, going into September the interest rates dropped to negative levels for the first time since November 2016, hitting % on September 4. While the interest rates recovered to positive levels after that, the increase was limited, with an upper limit of 0.7%, and 2017 trades closed at 0.048%. Going into 2018, long-term interest rates remain low and steady in the 0.03% to 0.1% range due to the BOJ s continuing yield curve control (YCC). Total OTC bond trading volume rose by 3.7% year on year to 01
