TOKYO -- Japanese stocks have reacted positively to Donald Trump's U.S. election victory, but market professionals think the Nikkei Stock Average should be doing better considering how far the yen has fallen against the greenback.
"If the stock market had fully factored in the benefits of a weaker yen, the Nikkei Stock Average index should easily be over 19,000 points by now," said Masahiro Suzuki of Daiwa Securities.
