EWJ: iShares MSCI Japan ETF research
As of 09-28-2026
EWJ has delivered consistent gains across 1m, 3m, 6m and 12m periods, culminating in a 25.53% 12-month return, and it trades above its 200-day average confirming trend health. Relative strength versus SPY over 3m is roughly flat at 0.3%, meaning it is keeping pace with the broader risk-on market rather than lagging. A yield of 3.72% and lower beta of 0.86 add a defensive quality to what is otherwise a cyclical, risk-on-friendly trade, and volatility and drawdown numbers are moderate compared to peers.
