Investing.com -- Global hedge funds sold Japanese equities at the fastest rate in almost two-and-a-half months last week, ahead of Sunday’s upper house election, according to Goldman Sachs. The election delivered a significant setback to Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and his ruling coalition, an outcome that aligned with expectations of investors who had been selling Japanese stocks and bonds before the vote. Japan’s stock markets have underperformed global peers in July, with the benchmark Nikkei 225 dropping 1.7% and the Topix falling 0.6% month-to-date. Both indexes ended lower on Friday. The election results have further weakened Ishiba’s political position, though he has pledged to remain party leader to finish trade tariff negotiations with the United States. According to a Goldman Sachs prime brokerage note on Friday, the hedge fund selling between July 11 and July 17 was primarily driven by increased short positions combined with a moderate reduction in long positions.

HONG KONG (Reuters) -Global hedge funds offloaded Japanese equities at the sharpest pace in almost two-and-a-half months last week, just ahead of the country’s upper house election on Sunday, Goldman Sachs said in a note. Sunday’s election dealt a major blow to Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and his ruling coalition, just as investors who had been selling Japanese bonds and stocks in the run up to the election had expected. Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 and Topix have dropped 1.7% and 0.6%, respectively so far this month, bucking the rally in other stock markets. Both indexes closed down on Friday. Sunday’s outcome further weakens Ishiba’s grip on power, even though he has vowed to remain party leader to complete trade tariff negotiations with the United States. The selling by hedge funds between July 11 and July 17 was mainly driven by increased short bets and a relatively moderate reduction in long positions, according to a Goldman Sachs prime brokerage note on Friday, seen by Reuters on Monday. Markets in Japan were closed for a holiday on Monday, but the yen strengthened while Nikkei futures rose slightly, as the election results appeared to be already priced in. Overall, hedge funds remain overweight Japan compared to its weight in the MSCI World Index by 0.6%, Goldman said. "This marks the first time since 1955 that the LDP-led government has fallen below a majority in both the lower and upper house, potentially increasing political instability in Japan," MUFG analysts said in a note.

(Reuters) -Foreign investors were net sellers of Japanese stocks in the week to August 20, for the first time in nine weeks, as they turned cautious, moving to lock in profits after a selloff in technology stocks stalled a market rally.

Japanese Stocks Soar Despite Tariffs and Electoral Turmoil  Barron's

Investing.com-- BofA analysts said they were seeing increasing signs of optimism over Japanese equities amid strong quarterly earnings and expectations of more guidance hikes in the coming quarters. The brokerage said strong gains in Japanese big-cap stocks, index laggards, and inflation-exposed sectors signaled that a “Buy Japan” trend may be underway, and that local stocks were likely to remain elevated after a recent rally. Japan’s Nikkei 225 and TOPIX indexes hit a series of record highs in mid August, buoyed by a host of strong earnings and signs of resilience in the Japanese economy. A softer yen, amid speculation over the Bank of Japan’s next rate hike, also benefited local exporters. BofA noted that while overall profits declined in the fiscal first quarter earnings season, U.S. tariff-related headwinds were “not as severe” as markets feared, with the results being viewed as generally solid. “Despite the decline in profit, companies discussed measures to pass higher costs onto prices and adjust their supply chains, making it easier to visualize a path to earnings recovery,” BofA analysts wrote in a Monday note. The brokerage noted that Japanese companies provided a largely conservative guidance for the coming quarters, keeping expectations for upward revisions high going into the rest of the fiscal year. BofA said non-manufacturing sectors were likely to remain in favor for the time being, especially amid increased earnings deterioration in manufacturing and industrial sectors. The brokerage also noted that U.S. tariffs had triggered fiscal stimulus across major economies, presenting a positive environment for risk-driven markets akin to the post-pandemic rally. BofA sees share buybacks remaining strong in the coming quarters, especially around the fiscal half-year reporting season. AI computing powers are changing the stock market.
