EWJ: Buying An Oversold Japan — Neutral

EWJ   Seeking Alpha — March 18, 2026

I view the iShares MSCI Japan ETF as a buy after its recent 8% drop, driven by fears of Middle Eastern oil disruptions. Japan's strategic oil reserves, among the largest in the developed world, provide a critical buffer for several months against supply shocks. Short-term pain in gasoline and petrochemical prices is likely, but I expect a rapid rebound in EWJ once oil flows resume.
