Former star stockbroker Kyoko Amemiya (雨宮京子) pointed to the possibility that the Nikkei 225 could rise to ¥84,000 in 2027. She made the remarks during the recording of the programme “Analysing the Japanese and US Stock Markets” on 5 November 2026.
Katsuhito Oguchi (大口克人), an editorial board member at Nikkei Money, and announcer Aimary Okada (岡田愛マリー) analysed the Japanese and US stock markets with Kyoko Amemiya (雨宮京子). Amemiya was introduced as a former star stockbroker who once moved ¥10 billion in a single day.
Immediately after the turmoil surrounding the US presidential election, the Japanese market saw significant share-price movements. The Nikkei 225 briefly fell more than ¥3,000 on 4 November, closing at ¥62,188.63. By contrast, the Dow in New York rose more than $1,500, highlighting the divergence between the Japanese and US markets. Amemiya pointed to the possibility that movements in AI-related stocks had influenced this backdrop.
As part of the outlook for 2027, the programme raised the possibility that the Nikkei 225 could reach ¥84,000, while explaining that caution would be necessary in the second half of the year. Amemiya also urged viewers to watch for increased volatility in the second half of years ending in 7. The recording focused on the sense of unease surrounding the Japanese market’s weakness, taking market conditions after the US midterm elections into account.
