4,500 points! Goldman Sachs raises its target for Japanese equities, citing a weaker yen as supportive for corporate profits.
Goldman Sachs believes the core rationale behind this adjustment lies in exchange rate expectations—the firm’s foreign exchange team forecasts that the U.S. dollar will rise to 165 against the Japanese yen within the next 12 months, and the continued weakening of the yen will directly boost earnings for exporters and multinational corporations. Goldman Sachs projects that earnings per share on the Tokyo Stock Price Index (TOPIX) will increase by 13% to JPY 228 in fiscal year 2026, followed by growth of 11% and 9% in the subsequent two years, respectively.

On Tuesday, a Bank of Japan interest rate hike is virtually certain, with the return of a 1% interest rate era within reach!
Markets widely expect the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates by 25 basis points. Barclays and Nomura noted that the key to the yen's direction lies in whether the central bank can signal a more aggressive tightening stance. Three core indicators will be closely watched: any adjustment in the wording on real interest rates, whether there are votes supporting a 50-basis-point hike, and the tone of the press conference—chaired by Deputy Governor Uchida stepping in for Governor Kazuo Ueda, who is hospitalized due to illness. Given the substantial interest rate differential between the U.S. and Japan, a single rate hike that is already priced in is unlikely to reverse capital flows, making it difficult for the yen to achieve genuine strength.
