), one of Japan’s biggest investors, has cut holdings of stocks and increased currency hedging on foreign bonds as U.S.-China trade frictions have escalated beyond expectations, its investment chief said.
In an usual move, the insurer drastically changed its market scenario and investment plan twice already since the start of the current financial year in April, Kazuyuki Shigemoto, chief general manager for investment, told Reuters. “Back in April, we had expected a trade deal between the United States and China around June and thus we had bet on a rise in dollar/yen, stocks and interest rates. But Trump’s tariffs announcement in May has changed the world,” he said.“You could say neither the United States nor China wants to push down their own economies forever, and therefore, they could reach a deal at some point.
Dai-ichi Life does not plan to buy U.S. high-yield debt, despite their popularity among many bond investors globally as yields on government bonds in Europe and Japan have plunged into deep negative territory, given its cautious view on the economy and market.
