The BlackRock Investment Institute sees Japanese stocks as one of the best bets in the second half of 2024.

The rally for Japanese stocks is set to continue in the second half of the year, but the best way for American investors to participate in it could change, according to the BlackRock Investment Institute. The firm said in its midyear outlook that being overweight on Japanese stocks is one of its highest conviction calls. Wei Li, the global chief investment strategist at the institute, said at a media event Tuesday that the firm thinks Japanese stocks can grow earnings faster than the 7.

mountain Currency-hedged Japanese funds like the HEWJ are outperforming their unhedged counterparts in 2024. Li said the currency impact has been "really inconvenient" for many investors but that there are reasons to believe the yen will stabilize in the upcoming year, especially with national elections looming in 2025.
