- ♦Trends of Japanese stock market
The Japanese stock market declined sharply at the beginning of February, primarily reflecting a sense of caution over emerging economies, concern about the future of the U.S. economy, and the appreciation of the yen. Subsequently, the stock market rose moderately as the currencies of the emerging economies stabilized and the Bank of Japan decided to expand its Stimulating Bank Lending Facility. Towards the end of the month, the market was soft chiefly due to concern over China’s financial system and uncertainty over the situation in Ukraine, where the government collapsed.
