[Present state recognition of fundamental]
In the US market last week, Powell 's Fed
chairman showed a stance not to speed up the rate hike, supported the market. In
the medium to long term, there are fears of a slowdown in the global economy
due to confusion of US politics, raise rate by FRB, European political turmoil
and the creditworthiness of European banks and credit crunch concerns, the
economic slowdown of emerging economies such as China, and concern over the
global economic slowdown due to trade war. We need continued attention to the
geopolitical risk of the Middle East , Korean Peninsula and Ukraine.
The difference in the yield spread between
the US and Japanese markets is 3.12 points less than in the Japanese market,
taking into account the 2019 OECD's real GDP forecast announced. The reason for
the bargain is due to the difference between S&P500 's PER of 17.7 and the
Nikkei average adopted stock price PER 13.1 and Japan-US interest rate
difference, GDP growth difference. This is because the difference in GDP growth
between Japan and the US in 2019 is 3.1% more than the OECD forecast (Japan
will downgrade or US will be revised upward) against the current Nikkei average
price, or it can be interpreted that the Japanese-U.S. Market will be in
equilibrium, because the expected PER of the Nikkei average hires will be
around 22.2(the results for the current term will be revised downwards or the
Nikkei average will be around 38260 yen) . Because it is so, the Japanese
market is cheap about 15660 yen.
[Conditions for Nikkei average rise]
In the future, the following assumptions
are necessary for the Nikkei average to rise further.
① Rising US market
② UP of expected profit increase rate for
the current term more than before
③ Expansion of the interest rate
differential between Japan and the US and further depreciation of the yen
④ Upward revision of Japan's 2019 GDP
estimate (now +1.21%) by OECD
⑤ Foreign investors over-buying
Looking at recent movements
① Last week's NYDow weekly foot was positive.
The daily bar is above the 200 day line, and it is above the cloud of the ichimoku
table. Nasdaq weekly foot was positive. NASDAQ bar is above the 200-day line and
above the cloud of the ichimoku table. This week we will be paying attention to
Housing related indicators, Quarterly financial results announcement , Consumer
confidence index in August, Chicago purchasing department Association economic
index in August. we would like to pay attention to whether NYDow can keep to
above the cloud of the ichimoku table.
② The estimated ROE of the Nikkei 225
hired stocks is expected to be 9.2% with the announcement of the fiscal year
ending April-June, improving 0.1 points compared to three months ago. In
addition, The profit growth rate for the current business forecast is -4.6%, 1.4
points better than three months ago.
③ Long-term interest rates in the US
declined and the interest rate differential between Japan and the US shrank
from 2.77 to 2.72%, but the exchange rate was a move toward a weaker yen from
the 109 yen level to 111 yen level.
④ The OECD's real GDP growth rate in 2019
in Japan and the US is expected to be + 1.2% in Japan and + 2.8% in the US, so
the Japanese market is worse by 1.6 points on this aspect.
⑤ the 3rd week of August is a over selling.
there is a high possibility that the 4th week of August is a over buying, and this week we are
forecasting to over buying.
last week ①,③ was a bullish factor. It seems that ①,②,③,⑤ will be affected this week.
[Technical viewpoint]
From the technical point of view of the
Japanese market, the 200-day discrepancy rate with Nasdaq is 7.6 points in the
medium to long term (about 1690 yen when calculated by the Nikkei average),
which is less expensive. The difference has shrank compared to last
week.

the ichimoku table. The total deviation rate was +2.2%, and it has changed to
the positive range compared to last week. The 200-day moving average line was +0.6%
and it has changed to the negative range. Since 3 elements are positive, the
"green light" is on for the medium term trend. The Nikkei average is above
the 25 day moving average line and the 9 day moving average line, "green light " is on for short-term
trends.

[Outlook for this week]
Looking at the US market fundamentally,
concerns such as the US economic slowdown, sluggish crude oil prices, Financial
market turmoil accompanying credit crunch, global long-term interest rate
trends declined, Situation of North Korea, falling high-yield bond market, etc.
Concern is diminished. However, there are fears concerning the global economic
slowdown due to the US interest rate hikes, uncertainty of US politics, the
creditworthiness of the EU regional banks, Concerns over the economic slowdown
of emerging economies such as China and the global economic slowdown due to
trade war, geopolitical risks of the Middle East and Ukraine as risk factors It
exists.
Real estate prices in China are flat in
large cities, but the problems of nonperforming loans in China as a whole such
as excessive facilities have not been resolved. If you hurry up the process, it
will lead to a short-term market drop, and if you delay proceeding, there is
concern that the economic recession will be prolonged.
Although the latest LIBOR interest rate has
settled down, it continues to update the highs for the last 5 years, suggesting
that the worldwide bad debt continues to increase and conscious of the
possibility of financial unrest and relapse.
On the other hand, as favorable material,
the possibility of moderate rate hike in the US, policy expectation of New
President Trump, setting of 2% inflation target by the BOJ, introduction of
negative interest rate and purchase of 80 trillion government bond · 6 trillion
yen ETF, In addition to monetary easing measures, clarification of the duration
of long-term interest rate manipulation and monetary relaxation. Negative
interest rates and purchase of government bonds are maintained for policy
interest rates by the ECB. However, the government bond purchase frame is
gradually reduced from April 2017 and is planned to end at the end of the year.
Looking at the technical aspect, the US
market is upward trend in the medium-term, and upward trend in the short term.
The Japanese market is upward trend in the medium-term, and d upward trend in the
short term.
When analyzing the exchange market last
week, the long-term interest rate in the US has declined and the long-term
interest rate gap between the US and Japan has shrank , but the exchange rate
was weaker yen in the week. From now on, we need to pay attention to technical
indicators, US market trends, foreign exchange movements and foreign investor's
trends.

expected range. The upper price exceeded the assumed line by about 160 yen, and
the lower price exceeded the assumed line by about 20 yen. This week's Nikkei
