It's that time again and the Japan season is open.


As of today, due to the time change from winter to summer, you can trade Japanese stocks with a lower spread between 8 - 9 am.


My favorites:


$7011 (-1.26%) MHI Heavy Metal

YTD+61.09% KGV 12.55


$6361 (+1.44%) Ebara Services Energy, Environment

YTD +59.06% KGV 20.53


$6501 (+2.19%) Hitachi Service IT

YTD +36.95% KGV 15.58


$7974 (+1.24%) Nintendo Entertainment

YTD +17.21% KGV 19.33


$7203 (-0.37%) Toyota Automotive

YTD +10.66% KGV 10.94


$5411 (+0.93%) JFE Holdings Chipmaking IT

YTD 10.71% KGV 5.98


$8001 (-0.4%) Itochu Trading

YTD +7.60% KGV 12.82


My favorite Etf:


$XDJP (+0.96%) Nikkei 225

YTD 15.46% TER 0.09%

Semi-annual distribution Feb + August 1.33%


There are of course countless other shares, companies and ETFs. I myself have $7011 (-1.26%) and $XDJP (+0.96%) .


Good luck

You mean rather up to 8? :-)

Since Japan has no daylight saving time, for us German investors it means that the stock exchange is open from 2:00 to 4:30 and 5:30 to 8:00 in the summer. In winter, it is one hour earlier, from 1:00 to 3:30 and from 4:30 to 7:00.

For domestic investors, this means that the traditional stock exchanges have no overlap with the Japanese stock market. But there is a gap: The LS Exchange and also Lang & Schwarz in over-the-counter trading start trading as early as 7:30 am. This means that we have a 30-minute overlap with Japan from 7:30 to 8:00. During this time, the broker knows the reference rates in Tokyo and offers correspondingly lower spreads. You can see this here with an example:
