The Japanese tourism sector has been booming in the past few years. Of course, the covid epidemic interrupted growth in the tourism sector from 2020 to 2022 but the weakness in the yen continues to spur foreign demand for Japan stays.

The number of tourist arrivals hit 3 million in March. Conversely, the number of Japanese tourists overseas remain well below pre-Pandemic levels.

Equity markets: earnings driving the rally, vulnerabilities to monitor
Reading time : 15 min.
INSIGHTS MARKETS
At the start of the last quarter, equity markets continued to rise despite a turbulent environment: crisis in the Middle East, sovereign debt tensions and rise in long-term interest rates. Ostrum AM's scenario from last November is largely borne out: continued rise, volatile first half, year driven by the rebound in profits, even if the paths taken were not those anticipated.In an uncertain environment, earnings growth has become the main performance driver, while valuation multiples are contracting. The question is no longer about the direction of the markets but about the strength of the drivers: investment cycle in AI, record profitability, markets’ ability to absorb the rise in interest rates.Source: Ostrum Asset Management, October 2026.
