Shares of paint companies, including Asian Paints, Indigo Paints, and Berger Paints, rose by up to 5% on the BSE due to falling oil prices. Despite this, paint stocks have underperformed in 2026, with declines of up to 38% attributed to poor operational performance and high crude oil prices. Asian Paints plans a 6-8% price increase to offset rising costs, while other companies like Berger and Kansai Nerolac are also expected to raise prices. Analysts predict a gradual recovery in the industry, with revenue growth supported by stable raw material prices.

The fiscal expansion plan of Takashi Saito, the weakness of the yen benefiting exporters, and global investors seeking more reliable sources of returns outside the U.S. market have jointly driven this wave of foreign capital inflow

- Foreign investments in Japanese stocks are surging at the fastest pace in a decade, following high-profile election victories.  
- In the week ending February 13, the net purchase of Japanese stocks and index futures by foreign investors reached 1.78 trillion yen (approximately $11.5 billion), the highest weekly inflow since November 2014, driven by expectations of political stability and increased government spending.  
- The weak yen and expectations of fiscal expansion are attracting global investors seeking diversification outside the U.S., as Japan's stock market outperforms other markets, particularly in light of recent geopolitical uncertainties.

Japanese shares experienced a significant rally following the election results, with the Nikkei 225 Index rising 5% to nearly 57,000 and the Topix Index increasing by 2.2% to 3,780. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party, led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, achieved a historic victory, securing a two-thirds supermajority in the House of Representatives. This outcome is expected to lead to looser fiscal policies and potential tax cuts, positively impacting Japanese equities, which also benefited from gains in Wall Street technology stocks.
