- Wednesday, September 12, 2012, 10:03 AM Currency traders push Tokyo's buttons, sending the yen to multi-month highs vs. the dollar. "It's orange ... but not really red yet," say a dealer with a Japanese bank. Owners of Japanese stocks will pay attention as shares moved higher in lockstep with the S&P earlier this year as the yen declined, but have severely underperformed since the currency strengthened. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, August 23, 2012, 4:35 PM "Under the hood analysis" is a must for dividend ETF investors, says WisdomTree's Jeremy Schwartz. Screens at many funds will leave out Apple, for instance, which is now the 3rd largest dividend payer in the U.S. Other techs - now the fastest dividend growers around - face the same issue. Don't forget international exposure, where firms are more likely to pay dividends and offer a higher yield. 3 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Monday, August 13, 2012, 11:04 AM Just as with the U.S., dividends on emerging market stocks are the largest contributors to returns over time, and one popular EM dividend fund (DEM) has comfortably outpaced (with lower volatility as well) the MSCI Emerging Markets Fund (EEM) in the 5 years since its incpetion. Comment!
- Sunday, August 12, 2012, 9:56 PM Japan's GDP grew 1.4% annualized in Q2, sharply below Q1's 5.5% and well short of the 2.3% forecast. The strong yen - cruising near an all-time high vs. the greenback for much of the last year (and hitting record highs vs. the euro) - gets plenty of ink, but demographic math is surely working against speedy growth. The Nikkei is flat. 4 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, August 9, 2012, 3:39 PM The bubble isn't in dividend payers, writes Tadas Viskanta, it's in calling dividends a bubble. Research going back a long ways shows dividends have consistently provdied a significant part of equity returns and the high payers outperform the market averages. Does this mean the stocks are bulletproof? Of course not, but "dividends are the ultimate fundamental." 2 Comments
- Wednesday, August 8, 2012, 1:00 PM The good times for dividend income - 402 of the S&P 500 are making payouts this year, the highest since 1999 - could end in 2013 if current law nearly tripling the tax rate on divvies to 43.4% isn't changed. Instead, look for the money to shift from payouts to buybacks, says Howard Silverblatt. 3 Comments
- Tuesday, August 7, 2012, 12:06 PM Japan already sells more adult than infant diapers, and government estimates show more than 25% of citizens will be over 65 within 2 years, nearly one-in-three within 10 years. The investment implications - from what will drive GDP growth to who will buy the massive amount of government debt - are troubling. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, July 19, 2012, 10:41 AM Index construction matters, says State Street in its in-depth look at Dividend ETFs (free registration required). The firm notes a combined investment in its U.S. (SDY), International (DWX), and Emerging Market (EDIV) dividend ETFs would have outperformed the broad market by more than 100 bps over the last 30 months. Comment!
- Thursday, July 12, 2012, 7:20 AM More signs of disinterest in Japanese stocks - Goldman Sachs (GS) has scaled down its prime brokerage business there, according to sources, moving a chunk of the operation to Hong Kong. In May, Goldman shuttered its Japanese stock loan desk, also moving those operations to Hong Kong. The bank is Japan's biggest prime broker. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, July 2, 2012, 8:11 AM Not participating in the worldwide rally overnight was Japan, the Nikkei closing flat after opening sharply higher. Possibly hurting is the defection of heavyweight Ichiro Ozawa from the ruling DPJ party, along with 49 others (possibly over the doubling of the sales tax). The move leaves PM Noda's government teetering. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Sunday, July 1, 2012, 8:01 PM Japan's quarterly Tankan survey of large manufacturing comes in at -1 vs. an expected -4, and against the first quarter's -3. The yen ticks up on the upside surprise, now ¥79.84 to the dollar. 1 Comment [Global & FX, Breaking News]
- Thursday, June 21, 2012, 1:56 AM Tokyo continues its recent advances as a weaker yen supports its exporters, but other regional markets are trading down following China's weak manufacturing data and limited action from the Fed. Japan +1%. Hong Kong -0.8%. China -1.4%. India -0.2%. USD +0.25% to ¥79.66. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]

Japan's GDP grew an annualized +4.7% in Q1, a notable increase from the preliminary estimate of +4.1% growth. Private demand was revised upward as the domestic economy responded to certain government incentives and post-earthquake reconstruction. Domestic demand will likely remain on a recovery trajectory this year.
5 Comments [Global & FX] - Tuesday, June 5, 2012, 8:48 AM Japan finmin Azumi is the first to hit the wires following the G-7 conference call, and he's talking about how the strong yen is hurting his country's economy. He says the group agreed to work together to cooperate on extreme fx moves. The yen promptly takes a tumble, dollar/yen rising to ¥78.46 from ¥78.25. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, June 4, 2012, 3:18 AM Asian markets get walloped, with weak China data compounding Friday's U.S. sell-off. Hong Kong -2.3% to 18130. China -2.7% to 2309. India -0.8% to 15835. In Tokyo, the Nikkei -1.7% to 8296, while the broader Topix fell as much as 2.2% earlier, hitting lows not seen since at least 1985. 2 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move, Top Stories]
- Wednesday, May 23, 2012, 2:50 AM Asian stocks are heavily down, and Japan is the big loser of the bunch, sinking 2% on BOJ inaction, a widening trade deficit and the never-ending eurozone drama. Hong Kong -1.3%. China -0.6%. India -0.9%. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
