Deutsche Bank
About this episode

In this week’s CIO Weekly Investment Outlook podcast, the Private Bank’s Chief Investment Officer in APAC, Stefanie Holtze-Jen, discusses what’s driving the Nikkei to new highs. She says structural reform in Japan, a positive outlook for wage growth and Yen weakness benefitting export sectors are providing investor optimism.

Holtze-Jen also discusses the first week of market trading in China after the Lunar New Year holidays, where there may be some glimmer of green shoots.

She also points investors to watch for significant upcoming data in the US and Eurozone, which will have implications for central bank policy decisions.

Tune in and listen to Stefanie’s key thoughts for the week ahead.

Performance refers to a nominal value based on price gains/losses and does not take into account inflation. Inflation will have a negative impact on the purchasing power of this nominal monetary value. Depending on the current level of inflation, this may lead to a real loss in value, even if the nominal performance of the investment is positive. Investments come with risk. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and you might not get back the amount originally invested at any point in time. Your capital may be at risk.
