The Japanese stock market had previously maintained high levels due to a weaker yen and profits from export companies. This sharp decline reflects a rise in global market risk aversion, similar to the multiple downturns in 2024 triggered by U.S. stock market corrections.
In terms of capital flow, the sell-off has driven funds out of technology and export sectors, with short-term risk aversion raising the yen exchange rate, while the Bank of Japan may face intervention pressure.
Similar to the multiple corrections after the 1989 bubble burst, the Japanese stock market is currently at a critical window of high valuation and sensitivity to external risks, with a drop of over 3.5% highlighting leverage and liquidity risks.
Essentially, this is a result of regulatory changes and capital concentration, with global risk aversion reshaping asset allocation and pricing power shifting from domestic Japanese factors to Federal Reserve policies and international capital flows, amplifying volatility in the Japanese stock market.

High valuations are vulnerable to external shocks, with risk aversion acting as a catalyst, as capital always chases relatively safe assets. The previous weakness of the yen was supportive, but global sell-offs have reversed this, with pricing power determined by international capital flows. The stock market is a barometer of the economy, and the crash is a signal; long-term outcomes are dictated by fundamentals and policy response capabilities.
