As Japan welcomed the new year, retail investors made a significant move by purchasing stocks worth ¥819.3 billion ($5.3 billion) in the first trading week, the highest in nine months. This surge came despite a 2% decline in benchmark equity gauges and concerns about Donald Trump’s potential political impact. The influx of investment is attributed to the start of a new cycle for the Nippon Individual Savings Account tax exemption scheme, with many new investors entering the market.
