<li>The Nikkei 225 rebalance will likely be announced this week. I continue to be slightly off-kilter, expecting Nidec, SMC, and Oriental Land to replace Unitika, Oki Electric, and Toho Zinc.</li>
<li>Others would expect Hoya to replace Maruha Nichiro instead of Oriental Land replacing Toho Zinc, but I think it Nikkei Sector balance may matter. It could go either way.</li>
<li>Tactically speaking, cumulative volumes and Real World Float tell you how you might trade this. </li>

Assuming correct, and we move the last 6mos of data 6mos forward, March23 Rebal is below.</li>
<li>This too is 3 in, 3 out. But it is complicated. "Required" changes would move the sector balance further out of whack. </li>
<li>And while some of the trades are "interesting", the rebal is smaller and the bigger question is <em><strong>"What comes after that?"</strong></em>

<li>The Nikkei 225 Annual Review is in September based on end-July data. Jumping the gun, I propose 3 additions and 3 deletions with granular data and details offered per sector.</li>
<li>I see ¥600bn to buy and a funding trade of 99% of that. There are 15+ names with more than 1 day of ADV to sell (funding only).</li>
<li>The impact on Real World Float is non-negligible. One name in particular is deserving of attention. </li>
