Nikkei Pushes Higher – Risk On Sentiment Ruling

Posted Thursday, June 1, 2017 by

The Japanese stock market index traded higher in the wake of gains in trading. Electrical machinery sectors and precision instruments pushed shares higher.

However, the Asian markets began trading with a "Risk On" sentiment and the Japanese stocks pushed higher due to the increased appetite for risky investments. That's what the risk on sentiment is. The investors sell out the low yielding securities (Bullion) to invest in the high yielding securities, such as stock markets.  

As we explained earlier in our Forex Signals Brief for June 1st, investors kept an eye on the Ministry of Finance data which showed an increased capital flow into Japanese bonds last week. Though the higher investment in the bonds results in weakness in the currency, the exchange of money against the bonds increases the money supply in the market.

Eventually, the excessive money supply in the market helps the corporate sector grow rapidly. Hence, the growing company will earn more revenue and will distribute more dividends to the shareholders. Consequently, we have seen solid bullish waves in the Japanese stock market index Nikkei.

Technical Outlook – Intraday

The 4-hours chart clearly shows the strong buying sentiment of investors. The Nikkei has broken above the significant double top resistance level of $19830, after which the road is clear for the next target level of $19960.

 

Additionally, the RSI and Stochastic have entered the overbought trading zone, demonstrating that buying may take profit now. But the bullish engulfing pattern on the 4- hour timeframe is strengthening the buying trend.
