Economic Trends and Market Outlook

Throughout April 2025, the Japanese economy was scrutinized closely, notably in the areas of foreign exchange rates, interest rates, stock pricing, and the real estate market.

The foreign exchange market saw a slight stabilizing effect on the Yen, as interest rate disparities between Japan and the U.S. began to level off. Domestically, there were emerging signals of potential rate hikes, prompting close attention on the future direction of currency trends.

In the stock market, uncertainties remained strong due to tensions in the Middle East and concerns regarding U.S.-China relations. Both the Nikkei and Dow indices showed a lack of direction, illustrating the cautious sentiment among investors.

Moreover, the real estate market continued to contend with high prices for new constructions, while also seeing adjustments in material costs and rising fears of increasing housing loan interest rates, suggesting emerging shifts in supply and demand dynamics. Particularly in the investment property sector, a selective approach focused on yields has become evident.

Against this market backdrop, there has been a noticeable increase in interest in lending-based crowdfunding, promising stable interest income, as reflected in the fundraising accomplishments for April.
