Part of a longer stretch
When negative rates backfired
near the end of it · 2015-12-01 → 2016-02-12, -25.28% over the whole period
What happened that day?
- On 22 January 2016 the Nikkei 225 rose 5.88% in a single day
- It sits inside the long climb from the 2009 low to the 2024 record
- A fifteen-year climb does not mean rising the whole time. There were several sharp drops along the way and early 2016 was one
- Global markets were falling on China worries and collapsing oil, and speculation that the Bank of Japan would ease further produced the bounce
- No single trigger is pinned to this day
- Across this stretch the Nikkei finally passed its 1989 high on 22 February 2024
