After suffering their worst single-day loss since 1987 on Monday, Japanese stocks rebounded sharply on Tuesday, clawing back some of their losses and providing a glimmer of hope for investors. The Nikkei 225 index, a key measure of the Japanese stock market, rose by 7%, while the broader Topix index gained 6%.
The rebound came as a relief to investors, who had been unnerved by the previous day's plunge. The Nikkei 225 index had fallen by more than 10%, marking its biggest one-day drop since the Black Monday crash of 1987. The Topix index had also fallen by more than 10%.
Japanese Stocks Rebound, Halting Historic Crash
The rebound was driven by a number of factors, including:
* **Bargain hunting:** Investors who had sold off their stocks on Monday were keen to buy them back at lower prices.
* **Short covering:** Some investors who had bet against the Japanese market were forced to buy back their shares, which helped to push up prices.
* **Positive news from China:** Chinese stocks rebounded on Tuesday, which helped to boost sentiment in Japan.
The rebound in Japanese stocks was also supported by a broader rally in global markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by more than 5%, while the S&P 500 index gained more than 4%. The rally was driven by optimism about the global economy and the upcoming US-China trade talks.
Despite Tuesday's rebound, Japanese stocks are still down significantly from their recent highs. The Nikkei 225 index is now down by more than 20% from its peak in October 2018. The Topix index is down by more than 15% from its peak in April 2019.
The rebound in Japanese stocks is a welcome sign, but it is still too early to say whether the worst is over. The global economy remains fragile, and there are still many risks on the horizon. Investors should be cautious and should not get carried away by the recent rally.
