DislikedIf I may try based on this scenario, maybe Markam can correct me later. If oil price is up will cause JPY down which is cheaper for equity investor to borrow yen and buy stocks.Ignored
Be careful on speculating based upon the effect of oil prices on the Japanese market. The US market has pretty much ignored oil prices because speculators have kept the price of gasoline down. When we start seeing disruptions in the gasoline distribution system, you will see gas prices jump a dollar almost overnight. This will crash the US stock market and GJ.
Also keep in mind that the weakening dollar is offsetting a lot of the oil price increases we are seeing for the rest of the world. If oil prices are up 5%, but the dollar is down 10%, that is a price decrease for most of the world.
