- There is a long-awaited story building of a hypothetical (future) Japanese corporate margin expansion, as pricing power can finally be pushed down into a very different Japanese consumer, who increasingly has the capacity to absorb it
If the Bank of Japan views the Jathese economy similarly it can’t be too much longer until there is a policy pivot?
