- 1. Trends of REIT stock prices(April 2014)
- ◆Trends of Japanese stock market
The Japanese stock market remained firm at the beginning of the month mainly reflecting favorable economic indicators in the United States and higher expectations of additional monetary easing by the Bank of Japan, but declined after that as the overall U.S. stock market was corrected and the status quo was determined at the Monetary Policy Meeting of the Bank of Japan. After mid-month, the Japanese stock market stayed in a stop-start process, reacting to rising expectations for investment reforms of the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) and the postponement of agreement in negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (TPP), etc.
The Nikkei Stock Average at the end of April was 14,304, down 3.53% from the end of March.
♦REIT Index
The J-REIT market maintained a strong tone at the beginning of the month against the backdrop of a firm Japanese stock market, but remained soft subsequently as the Japanese stock market declined. After mid-month, the J-REIT market rebounded and rose, and remained generally stable throughout the month as high distributions of J-REITs were preferred amid falling long-term interest rates, among other factors. As a result, the J-REIT market rose from the end of March.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Index was 2,520.81 (including dividends) at the end of April, up 2.26% from the end of March.
