About Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Stock / 三菱UFJフィナンシャル・グループ

Following the announcement regarding Yield Curve Control (YCC) by the governor of the Bank of Japan on July 28th, banking stocks in Japan experienced a surge on the day.




Of these, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group stood out with a rise exceeding 5% compared to the previous day. From my understanding, it seems that many believe there is actually room for Japan's bond yields to increase.


Meanwhile, the exchange rate, which was at one point at ¥138.80 per dollar, touched on a stronger yen at ¥141 per dollar before leaning back towards a weaker yen. Though Japan's international interest rate seems to be on the rise, when viewed against the dollar, the difference with the high yield of U.S. bonds doesn't seem to be narrowing that much. I believe that Governor Ueda of the Bank of Japan conducted a splendid control of the overall economic recovery growth, maintaining his policy of a weaker yen for the economy, but without going too far.


Now, as for the title of this article, Mitsubishi Financial Group, I find it quite attractive with a PBR of 0.79 times and a yield of an annual interest rate of 3.61%.


With the yen still weak, when viewed in dollar terms for those residing in the U.S., it seems that:


The stock price might rise

It's undervalued when viewed on a dollar basis

The dividend yield isn't bad

If U.S. interest rates begin to fall, it may swing towards a stronger yen, potentially increasing its value even further

These all seem like very desirable conditions.


I often find myself wishing I had become a high earner in the U.S., but I am a resident of Japan and enjoy the benefits of the ease of buying Japanese stocks, so perhaps it's a bit of both.


I am very much looking forward to the announcement of the financial results for this stock at 16:00 on August 1st.

7/28 日銀総裁のYCCに関する発表を受け、この日は日本の銀行株の株価が急上昇しました。


その中でも三菱UFJフィナンシャル・グループは前日比5%を超える上昇を見せたことから、どうも私の理解では皆さん日本の国債の金利水準が上がる余地が実質的にあると読んだと思っています。

一方、この日一時1ドル138.80円台だった為替レートも1ドル141円と円高に触れた後に円安貴重として戻るようで日本の国際的な金利は上がるものの対ドルでみるとアメリカの国債の金利の高さとの差がそんなには縮まらない範囲で、植田日銀総裁の円安基調での経済に対する方針を変えずにしかし行きすぎない程度にはするという経済全体の景気回復の成長に対して見事なコントロールをした会見だったかと思います。


さて、この記事のタイトルである三菱フィナンシャル・グループですが、PBRは0.79倍で利回りは年利3.61%とかなり良い株価の条件であるように私の目には映っています。


まだまだ円安であるためドル建てでみるとアメリカにお住まいの方からすると

・株価はあがるかも?

・ドル建てベースで見ると割安

・配当利回りは悪くない

・アメリカの金利が下がり始めれば円高方向に振れるため更に価値が上昇する可能性がある

と非常に羨ましい条件が揃っているように見えます。

私もアメリカで高給取りになっていればよかったのにと思うことが最近多いですが、日本の居住者であるがゆえの日本株の買いやすさをメリットとして享受してますのでどっちもどっちかもしれませんね。

8/1 16:00 に本銘柄の決算発表があります。とても楽しみです。

About Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation / 三井住友銀行

-- English Today, after the stock market closed, Sumitomo Mitsui's financial results were not particularly promising, with operating revenue increasing by 70.7%, operating profit decreasing by 0.2%, and net profit for the quarter decreasing by 1.8%. However, it seems to be considered not too bad, as in the Japanese after-market called PTS, after initially falling to 6,500 yen per share, it rose to 6,694 yen per share at 22:49 on 7/31 UTC + 9. The market had been expecting an effective 1% rate hike due to the Bank of Japan Governor Ueda's Yield Curve Control modification, but a buy operation was initiated and the interest rate was guided downwards. Personally, I think this may be a judgment that they cannot suddenly break the strategy that has aimed to improve Japan's export capabilities due to a weak yen. At this rate, the so-called mega banks in Japan might see improved performance in the future, but it's still too early to be optimistic. Performance may gradually impr

How can I practice reading stock market order books? / 板読みの練習はどのようにしたらよいのだろうか?

When talking to day traders, they often mention that they primarily rely on reading the order book (market depth) to make profits in the stock market. They observe the thickness of buy and sell orders after executions and assume that the price will move in the direction of the thicker side. However, it's also common for the price to move in the opposite direction, even after placing orders based on this strategy. It's challenging to figure out how to interpret signs of price fluctuations from the order book to anticipate upward or downward movement accurately. Furthermore, although today I learned that trading based on the order book information from Japanese brokerage firm SBI Securities might yield different results compared to trading CFDs with IG Securities due to potential disparities in timing. Relying solely on order book information for day trading seems impractical. By the way, despite the US 10-year Treasury yield surpassing 4.3% and increasing, the S&P 500 index
