"Boss, will we join the battle against the Nikkei tomorrow?" Legge looked at Tang Bao expectantly, although it was an inquiry, the sense of longing in his voice was fully revealed. Before that, they were quietly increasing their positions, and although the increasing short positions objectively suppressed the price of Nikkei futures, they never deliberately directly suppressed and blocked the rising Nikkei, and adopted a laissez-faire attitude.

In a sense.

They have never directly joined the battle, and have been sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

Of course.

As a result of the deliberate concealment of their edge, the Nikkei continued to climb and their losses in the Nikkei futures market continued to widen.

After experiencing the baptism of the gold futures war, Legge also has a little arrogance, and is naturally unwilling to be suppressed by the bulls and can't raise his head.

The desire to join the battle is growing day by day!

Call.

Tang Bao couldn't help but exhale deeply, seemingly hesitating whether to directly participate in the action to suppress the Nikkei. Theoretically, the Bank of Japan's sudden interest rate hike will have a sharp impact on the stock market, and the stock market will fall is expected, but in his memory, the Nikkei index peaked close to 39,000 points! In other words, the news of the rate hike did not deter the Nikkei from rising......

If the historical trajectory does not change, the Japanese stock market may be volatile tomorrow, but it will still rise!

Weigh it up for a long time.

Tang Bao made a decision and said: "The Bank of Japan's interest rate hike is rare bad news, but the determination and confidence of Japanese investors to be optimistic about the Japanese economy should not be underestimated. Tomorrow, we just need to wait and see what happens, and we don't need to rush to the front line of the battlefield. ”

"But ......"

"There is nothing but to do what I tell you to do. When it's time to make a move, I naturally won't back down! Tang Bao waved his hand, slightly forcefully stopping Legger's words.

……

December 26th, 9 a.m. sharp. The stock exchange opens on time. The impact of interest rate hikes continued to ferment, and the Nikkei Stock Average fell 65 points to 38,734 points as soon as the market opened.

Then.

The bears, who had been suppressed for nearly a month, seized the rare opportunity and began to ruthlessly suppress Nikkei 225 index futures without the slightest cover-up, and the astonishing short orders were immediately thrown out, and almost in the blink of an eye, there was a backlog of 70,000 or 80,000 short orders in the market.

"Boss, we haven't started to increase our position today! These empty orders are not ...... that we throw out," he found Tang Bao's gaze looking at him. Legge hurriedly explained.

Oh.

Tang Bao nodded understandingly, and when he saw that seventy or eighty thousand short orders suddenly appeared, he thought that Legge and others did not follow his instructions, and secretly threw out short orders to suppress Nikkei 225 index futures.

"It seems that the financial predators who have been dormant for a long time can't bear it anymore and have begun to fight back." Tang Bao muttered to himself, seventy or eighty thousand empty orders were thrown out almost in the blink of an eye, so there was no need to think about it carefully. I also know that this is a planned and organized action, and who has the ability, and who else will there be besides the financial predators?

Within a few minutes of Tang Bao and Legge talking, thousands of empty orders were thrown out again. The motive of the other party is not hidden, which is to suppress Nikkei 225 index futures...... It seems that two consecutive waves of huge short orders sounded the horn of the short side to counterattack, and then countless short orders of different sizes continue to emerge in the market.

But.

The bulls are clearly anticipating a counterattack to the bears. The sudden appearance of a large number of empty orders did not make them panic. Two waves of huge short orders, plus the follow-up of travel funds. There were at least 120,000 short orders in the market, and the bulls took them all without any hesitation.

The Nikkei opened down 65 points, and after two waves of huge short orders, it continued to fall by more than 30 points. However, with the strong move of the bulls, the Nikkei index immediately rebounded strongly and rose by 70 points. Although it did not completely regain the lost ground, it was also domineering.

"Whew. The volume of Nikkei 225 futures climbed to 170,000 contracts in less than an hour, and the volume has already surpassed yesterday's. The will of the bulls to resist is very strong! Leger, who closely follows the trend of Nikkei futures, sighed.

Scold.

Not only is there strong resistance, but it is simply bucking the trend. Looking at this situation, if the hidden financial giant does not go all out, he is afraid that he will fail miserably again.

Things were just as Tang Bao had predicted.

In the face of the menacing bulls, the bears retreated, and the Nikkei continued to rise, and it took only two hours to regain all lost ground.

And then.

The Nikkei broke through 38,800 points in one fell swoop. 38810 points, 38820 points, 38830 points...... It was like a chicken's blood.

"Huh?"

Seeing the soaring Nikkei, Tang Bao's brows couldn't help but furrow deeply, although he had expected this outcome, he was still a little surprised that the Japanese stock market was so easily free from the adverse effects of interest rate hikes. Of course, there are still puzzles in my heart...... The main force of the bears only launched two waves of attacks, leading a group of players to shout for a while, and then they died down and fell silent again. It is clear that the main forces of the bears did not use all their strength!

"What the hell are these financial giants thinking?" Tang Bao thought to himself.

Just when Tang Bao was puzzled, the Nikkei index had risen to 38,879 points, and it was likely to break through the 38,900 points in the next moment.

Two minutes later.

The Nikkei broke through 38,900 points and continued to soar.

"Boss, some of the short positions we have opened will have to be marginally called......" Legge reminded in a low voice when he saw the strong Nikkei, his face turned heavy.

"Hmm."

Tang Bao nodded lightly, his funds were very sufficient, so he naturally would not become flustered because he wanted to make a margin call.

But.

The abnormal surge in the Nikkei index still makes Tang Bao suspicious, and it is understandable that the strong belief of Japanese investors supports the stock market not to fall, but the surge against the trend is not just a matter of confidence.

Wow.

Leg was suddenly startled and shouted, "Boss, look...... More than 100,000 lots! Could it be that the bulls are delusional to take the opportunity to push the Nikkei above 40,000 points in one go? ”

More than 100,000 orders.

The trading information of Nikkei futures continues to be reached, but the market is still difficult to quickly digest these huge long orders, and the price of Nikkei futures climbs again.

"It's RTM funds, and they're slowly taking over multiple orders!" Legg, who had been staring at the computer screen, suddenly reminded Tang Bao solemnly. Lately, they've been paying attention to Nikkei futures almost all the time. There are those main forces hidden in the market, even if you can't figure them all out, you can understand them. "Huh? It seems that both the Quantum Fund and the Tiger Fund are quietly encroaching on long orders......"

"Boss, I found out the reason for the strong rebound of the Nikkei, half an hour ago, someone suddenly absorbed a large number of shares of Chiyoda Chemical, Takeda Pharmaceutical Industry and Mitsui Chemical, causing the price to skyrocket, driving the stocks in the pharmaceutical and chemical fields to rise collectively, and there are nearly 30 Nikkei constituent stocks in the chemical and pharmaceutical fields!" At this time, Cappuz walked over quickly and reported to Tang Bao.

"Someone has increased their holdings in Chiyoda Chemical, Takeda Pharmaceutical Industries, and Mitsui Chemicals?" Tang Bao was surprised.

"Hmm. Less than half an hour's work. It has absorbed 50 million US dollars worth of stocks, and continues to increase its holdings despite the soaring stock price. Strangely enough, the scale of these three listed companies is not small, and the number of outstanding shares is also very large, but it is difficult to buy enough shares in the market, which causes the three stocks to rise again and again. If nothing else, Chiyoda Chemical, Takeda Pharmaceutical Industry and Mitsui Chemicals will lead the Japanese stock market today! Cappus said. What's even more strange is that all three companies have had a mediocre performance this year. There are no particularly eye-catching results, and I don't even understand why three stocks are suddenly in demand. ”

……

Tang Bao quickly sat down in front of the computer, carefully observed the constituent stocks of the Nikkei, and found that chemical and pharmaceutical stocks led the gains. It contributed more than 80% to the rise of the Nikkei Index.

"What a cunning!"

Tang Bao couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

Forthwith.

Tang Bao came back to his senses and hurriedly ordered: "Legger, Capuz, you command the traders to continue to increase their positions and short Nikkei futures." ”

"Ahh Boss. We just called $300 million in margin, and the Nikkei is performing so strongly, and then we ...... increase our position," Legge hesitated.

"Huh. There was no better time to do it. If you miss it, it's too late to regret it. Tang Bao smiled and said, "Take all the long orders and sell more short orders!" ”

Legge said in surprise, "Boss, you're going to have a decisive battle with the bulls?" ”

"A decisive battle? It's still early! Tang Bao smiled and shook his head. The report of Capuz made Tang Bao suddenly relegate a strategy used by financial giants to snipe at the Japanese stock market, that is, by buying Nikkei constituent stocks, pushing up the stock price, and boosting the Nikkei index to continue to rise, and they can secretly establish enough short positions in Nikkei futures at a very favorable price.

Now.

Stocks of Chiyoda Chemical, Takeda Pharmaceutical Industries, and Mitsui Chemicals suddenly skyrocketed, with the Nikkei hitting new highs and Nikkei futures trading volume increasing imperceptibly.

This shows that-

The rise of the Nikkei index is not only pulled up by the bulls, but also driven by the bears. The goal, naturally, is to open more short positions.

……

"Rhett, your group has temporarily stopped shorting Nikkei futures and helped me buy shares of Chiyoda Chemical, Takeda Pharmaceutical Industries, and Mitsui Chemicals. Well, you can also buy stocks in other chemical and pharmaceutical fields in moderation! But it has to be a constituent stock of the Nikkei! Tang Bao ordered.

Belch.

Ruide and others are stunned, absorbing these stocks will push up the Nikkei index, doesn't that make Nikkei futures face losses.

"Ha, don't be stunned. Do as I say! Tang Bao said with a smile. Since they all want to push up the Nikkei, then he simply adds a fire.

The bulls have spared no effort to pull up the Nikkei, and the hidden financial predators have also pushed up the stock price by buying a large number of Nikkei constituents, and now Tang Bao has also joined this interesting game and has begun to eat a large number of Nikkei constituents...... With the "tacit understanding" of many parties, the Nikkei Stock Average rose to 39,029 points on the same day, up 230 points.

Suddenly.

The market became boiling, cheers and celebrations could be heard everywhere, and investors' expectations for the Nikkei to break through 40,000 points before the New Year were stronger and full of fanatical beliefs.

"Heh, 39029 points, I didn't expect the Nikkei index to surpass the historical peak." Seeing the dazzling number "39029", a faint smile appeared on the corner of Tang Bao's mouth.

The Nikkei is pushing beyond its limits, even beyond history, but it is also pushed to the edge of a cliff, and if someone pushes it lightly, it will be doomed.

……

After the Nikkei rose 230 points against the trend, most investors believe that the Nikkei is no longer out of reach to break 40,000 points before the New Year.

December 27th.

The Nikkei opened higher and went higher, led by chemical and pharmaceutical stocks, and continued to rise, reaching a maximum of 39,500 points at one point, and finally ending at 39,376 points, up 347 points throughout the day, an increase of 0.89%!

Breaking through 40,000 points, it's close at hand.

Investors watched the Japanese stock market, which could not stop at all, and was fascinated.

December 28th.

The Nikkei index is still strong and continues to rise. Although chemical stocks and pharmaceutical stocks did not perform as eye-catching as the previous two days, they still performed well, and today there are new dark horses, with Toyota, Nissan, Suzuki, Mazda led by auto industry stocks due to good year-end results, earnings exceeded expectations, stock prices soared, and the Nikkei continued to rise. On the day, the Nikkei rose to 39,770 points, up 394 points, or 1%, from the previous trading day.

Friday, December 29, was also the last trading day of the 1989 year.

Now.

There is only one thought on the minds of all investors, and that is whether the Nikkei can break through 40,000 points on the last trading day of the year.

Now it is 40,000 points, which can be described as a step away, only 230 points away.

As soon as the session opened, the Nikkei rose to 39,789 points. At the same time, the bulls in the futures market are also constantly selling long orders, frantically pulling up the Nikkei index.

"Boss, are these investors crazy......" Kate said in surprise. 40,000 points is scary to think about, but now Japanese investors are frantically pushing the Nikkei index towards this major hurdle at any cost......

And.

Looking at the upward trend of the Nikkei, it is very likely that it will successfully rush to 40,000 points!

"Huh. I'm afraid that now the eyes of the world are focused on the Japanese stock market, waiting to see if they can break through the 40,000-point mark! It's exciting to think about it......" Tang Bao said with a smile.

Katten nodded, and now, the strong performance of the Japanese stock market at the end of the year has attracted the attention of the global media. But she knows better that the Japanese stock market is like a chicken blood at the end of the year, and there is a "credit" from Tang Bao, and what she wants to know more now is whether Tang Bao will continue to add fuel to the fire: "Boss, do you want to help Japan create a stock market myth?" ”

"Today, let's just watch the show!" Tang Bao said with a smile. Now that he has built up enough positions, there is no need to waste money to drive up the stock price. (To be continued......)
