It has become.
The Nikkei Stock Average has risen sharply since late last month, recovering to the 30,000 yen level last week for the first time in about five months.
According to the summary of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the so-called "net purchase", which is the amount of stocks bought by overseas investors in the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange minus the amount sold, was about 360 billion yen last week and about 270 billion yen last week. In total, it was over 630 billion yen.
On the other hand, during this period, domestic individual investors have become so-called “net sales” in which the amount sold exceeds the amount sold, and the scale has exceeded 1 trillion yen.
It can be seen that while sell orders spread among domestic individual investors in an attempt to secure profits, overseas investors increased buy orders at a stretch, driving a rapid rise in stock prices.

Compared to Europe and the United States, the stock price in the Tokyo market seemed to be delayed, so the next cabinet of the Kan Cabinet will take economic measures. In addition to the expectations of the above, expectations for the advancement of vaccination and the full-scale resumption of economic activities have expanded, and buy orders have expanded in a short period of time.
