Market insiders even talk of “Nikkei 30,000.”
Positive news and outlooks such as “COVID-19 vaccine development,” “additional economic measures,” and expectations for a V-shaped economic recovery have driven stock prices higher.
At the core of this is the long-term easing policies conducted by central banks around the world. The U.S. Federal Reserve (FRB) announced it would continue its historic easing policy through the end of 2022, and would keep near-zero interest rates from 2023 onward; the European Central Bank (ECB) stated it would continue the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program at least until the end of March 2022, and would reinvest the maturity proceeds of purchased bonds through the end of 2023.
If this is a “bubble market” led by central banks, there is no reason not to ride it.
