09/09/05Investors settled by Japanese pollsPolls ahead of Sunday’s election in Japan showed that the current ruling coalition, let by the Liberal Democratic party, is likely to win an easy majority. This set investors’ minds at ease and domestic stocks sowed significant gains on the day. There had been worries that without an obvious majority, the equities markets could be hurt by lack of direction on economic policy. Overall, the Nikkei 225 was up 1.3 percent to 12, 692.04, while the Topix index gained 1.1 percent to 1,293.35. The securities sector gained 0.8 percent after declines in the morning. The insurance sector was up 2.8 percent, while the real estate sector advanced by 2.4 percent. In real estate, Mitsui Fudosan was up 3.7 percent to ¥1,544. In addition, Leopalace21, which builds and subleases apartments, added 7.2 percent to ¥2,310 on the news that Goldman Sachs had reiterated its “outperform” rating for the company. In the oil sector, meanwhile, Inpex was up 3.6 percent to ¥844,000, Nippon Oil added 1.7 percent to ¥889, and AOC advanced by 5 percent to ¥2,115. |
