Abstract: This paper investigates the forecast power and the characteristics of investors’ sentiment in Japan. According to the empirical analyses, Japanese investors’ sentiment has some forecast power for one month's future equity market dynamics. In addition, evidence is found that simultaneous and synthetic use of several sentiment variables is helpful for predicting future stock price changes in the short-term forecasting period. However, in contrast to findings in the USA, evidence cannot be found for ‘naive extrapolation’ or the ‘salience effect’ in Japanese investors’ sentiment.
