Nomura’s Chief Equity Strategist, Yunosuke Ikeda, explains why he believes the Nikkei 225 will reach its highest levels by the end of 2024.
Although we expect some headwinds from a weaker Dollar and stronger Yen as US interest rates decline, our main scenario is for continued profit growth at Japanese corporations in FY24 and FY25 as the spread of a price-hiking culture leads to improvement in profit margins.
We forecast the Nikkei 225 at 38,000 at the end of December 2024.
