Japan's central bank reduced their interest from .1% to between 0 and .1%, leading the Japanese stocks to close higher. Whether the market will ultimately see this move as postive, or a sign of desperation is a question, but in the short term, the Nikkei ended up on the day.
For an investor in the US looking to gain exposure - long or short - to Japan, there are many options with ETFs. Using ETFChannel.com's ETF Finder, investors can focus in on Asia ETFs, and then research specific Japan ETFs.
For example, the iShares MSCI Japan Small Cap Index Fund (AMEX:SCJ) looks at companies in Japan that fall within the small cap designation. The PowerShares FTSE RAFI Japan Portfolio (PJO) owns companies such as Toyoto Motor Corp. (NYSE:TM) and Canon (NYSE:CAJ). WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) also holds Toyoto as well as Honda Motor Company (NYSE:HMC).
Then there is the CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust (AMEX:FXY) for exposure to the Japanese Yen.
