After Japan's new Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made dovish comments, the yen weakened, reigniting overseas investors' interest in Japanese export companies. According to data from the Japanese Ministry of Finance, foreign investors net bought 919.3 billion yen (6.16 billion U.S. dollars) worth of Japanese stocks in the past week ending October 5, recording the largest single-week net purchase since April 13. Berkshire Hathaway, owned by Buffett, also issued 281.8 billion yen of multi-term bonds on Thursday, October 10, sparking speculation in the market that the Oracle of Omaha will further increase exposure to Japanese assets. Most analysts expect that benefiting from strong corporate profits and improvements in corporate governance, Japan's stock market is expected to maintain its previous upward trend for the remaining time this year.
