Japan Markets Closed: Nikkei Near Highs, Yen Weakness & BOJ Risks Ahead

Описание: TOITOI Japan Market Radio – January 10, 2026. Despite today's Tokyo holiday, we analyze the key setup for global investors: Nikkei 225 approaching record highs, yen sliding vs. USD, and what the widening rate differential means for Japanese exporters and BOJ policy. We examine the classic weak-yen equity tailwind, positioning in industrials and tech hardware, and medium-term inflation risks that could force BOJ action. Essential macro intelligence for anyone trading Japanese equities, USD/JPY, or monitoring Asia-Pacific risk sentiment. Recorded in Tokyo for institutional and active global investors.
