Updated TOPIX Big April Basket Flows; More Big Flows and ¥270bn a Side
- Several days ago I published a piece showing the data for TOPIX flows for April month-end.
- This is an update reflecting new data companies have reported to regulators, one large correction to a data provider’s data, and one Very Large Flow.
- I believe that the revised data is more accurate. And there is more flow. With a spreadsheet attached.
EQD | Nikkei 225 What’s Up Next: Up or Down?
- The Nikkei 225 Index last week bounced back, after a 2-weeks down pullback.
- The index is at a fork in our view: it could go higher from here, but we would like to see a sustained, multi-week rally to be convinced.
- If doubt about this potential rally continuation is strong, target the 40500-40800 price area to place SHORT trades against the index.
