This weekend, Japan's economic minister Akira Amrai said that it was a goal for the Nikkei to hit 13,000 by the end of March. Japan's market has already been on a mega-tear, and now the economic minister is aiming for another 17% rally by the end of March? I have no recollection of a senior economic official in a developed economy saying anything like this before. This is an amazing statement and I am eager to see the consequences.
