With uncertainty surrounding the price of oil, it could be easy to miss other compelling headlines. For instance, Tom Lydon explains that Japanese equities may be the cheapest investments around. Moreover, the demand for Japanese products and services may strengthen for years to come.

In Japan, industrial production increases have led to employment gains. And while imports exceded exports in Japan for the first time in nearly 2 years, the yen is likely to lose value if the global recovery reamins on track. That may further boost Japan’s exports to China as well as other trading partners.
