September stock market was seen as a back-and-forth market, but a sell-off prevailed on the last trading day of the month, as investors were cautious about sooner-than-expected interest rates hike due to the launch of the new Ishiba administration.
In September, the CG Top 20 stock market outperformed both TOPIX and JPX400 for the fifth consecutive month.
The Japanese stock market, which had fallen until the middle of the month on fears of an early BOJ rate hike, recovered from the optimistic mood toward the end of the month, buoyed by the U.S. stock stocks rally and weaker yen, triggered by a large rate cut by the U.S. Fed. Later, the Japanese stocks fell back as sell-offs were triggered by the new Ishiba administration and the yen’s appreciation on the back of fears of an early rise in interest rates.
The TOPIX and JPX400 indexes fell 1.61% and 2.49%, respectively, in September, while the CG Top 20 index outperformed significantly both indices slid by 0.71%.
