Japan's long-suffering stock market is back. This boom may have 'staying power'

Japanese stocks are primed to outpace global peers this year, with the Nikkei 225 Stock Average reaching its highest level in nearly 33 years last week and up 17.6% year-to-date.

Is Japan's world-beating stock-market rally merely a function of a weak yen? One analyst thinks so.

After declining by 85% relative to the MSCI World since its 1988 peak, the MSCI Japan looks set to benefit from an extremely undervalued currency and a discounted stock market. The EWJ is priced for real long-term returns of around 5-6% annually driven by yen appreciation and dividend income, which should be a few percentage points above the MSCI World.

While global manufacturers diversify production, Western governments are supporting this push through a combination of policies intended to catalyze reshoring of global supply chains. At a time when the country's expertise and leadership in materials and manufacturing technologies will be in high demand, Japanese companies (and the Japanese yen) are attractively valued - and Japan continues to make significant strides in corporate governance and capital allocation.

EWJ is exposed to a lot of credit-dependent markets, the biggest offender being consumer discretionary dominated by the Japanese car and appliance industry. Credit tightening, now that we see how non-linear of a process it is with the bank failures, has to be the main theme of a 2023 portfolio.

Japan did not have nearly as much of an inflation problem as the rest of the developed world. Partly this is because of demographics, partly because of corporate culture, but substantially because they're quite self-sufficient and supply side issues are subsiding.

We expect Japan's GDP growth to slow in 2023 but to remain above its potential rate, supported by an accommodative macro policy environment. The near-term outlook is bleak due to high inflation and weak global demand conditions.
