Chart readers are seeing 13,100 on the Nikkei 225 index as the next level of support for the Tokyo stock market and 99.5 yen to the dollar being the bottom of the recent range for the two currencies (with a top at 103.5.) There’s nothing guaranteed about these levels. But I still find the talk a positive sign.

The recovery in Japanese stocks and the renewed downturn in the yen are hardly strong trends at the moment. I think you can say that the Bank of Japan and traders’ forecasts of what the bank will do have stabilized the yen and Japanese stocks, but that the stability is tenuous and depends on news/rumor/sentiment about the Federal Reserve and on yields in the market for Japanese government bonds.

Prices, according to the GDP deflator, fell by 1.2% in the quarter for a 14th straight quarter of deflation.

It looks like Japanese investors have decided to start putting some money into Japanese equities. That—if the trend continues past April–could push the Tokyo market another leg higher. In April inflows into domestic Japanese mutual funds came to 440 billion yen (or $4.7 billion at 95 yen to the U.S. dollar.) That’s the biggest monthly inflow in 13 years.

The new team in charge of the Bank of Japan has ratcheted up expectations for strong action to weaken the yen and increase inflation at the bank’s meeting on April 3 and 4.
