Japanese shares market outlook april 9-13 2012

Japanese shares market outlook april 9-13 2012, Nikkei outlook next week april 9-13 2012, Tokyo Stock Exchange next week april 9-13 2012 : Japanese shares lost ground this week as investors gave up on further stimulus measures in the United States, but there was still hope for a rally after the Easter holiday, analysts said on Friday.

All eyes are on the Bank of Japan and whether it ushers in further easing measures to boost the world's third-largest economy, they said.

The likelihood of further stimulus increased after a meeting on Friday morning between Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa, analysts said.

In the week to April 6, the benchmark Nikkei 225 index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange lost 3.91 per cent, or 395.11 points, to 9,688.45.

The Topix index of all first-section issues ended the week down 3.35 per cent, or 28.64 points, at 825.71.

Japanese shares were partly dented by minutes from the March US Federal Reserve policy meeting, which indicated no fresh monetary easing measures in the near term.

Sentiment was also hit after Spain said its borrowing costs soared in its first debt auction since an austerity budget last week, fuelling concern of a repeat of Greece's strife last year when it narrowly avoided a messy default.

But Mitsuo Shimizu, deputy general manager of investment strategy and information at Cosmo Securities, said: "The eurozone worries will likely recede gradually the following week and shares could recover their upward momentum" on hopes for more easing measures.

Investors will also keep their eyes on Japanese trade and current account figures in the coming week, as well as US economic data.
