After the U.S. Presidential Election, Emerging Market Stocks Stand Out

The Nikkei Stock Average has recovered to around 30,000, a level not seen in about 30 years. Along with the expectation of an economic recovery in the United States as the Biden administration takes office and COVID-19 vaccinations begin, and the strong economic momentum in China, there is a renewed buying interest in Japan that benefits from these two countries. It seems stock prices are finally recovering the ‘lost 30 years’ and are approaching a new era.
