[Backside Overview]

The Nikkei Average in the backstage started at 37505.65 yen, which was 67.04 yen higher than the previous day, and slightly reduced the increase from the previous draw (37538.06 yen). Nikkei 225 futures during lunchtime fit well in the 37510 yen to 37580 yen range. The dollar and yen are almost at the same level as around 9:00 a.m., with 1 dollar = 154.70-80 yen. As for Asian market conditions, the Shanghai Composite Index generally remained soft in the negative zone and fell by about 0.5%, while the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index remained steady after starting to rise and rose by about 1.4%.

The backstage Tokyo Market began with sales slightly ahead of the previous closing. In addition to the fact that financial results announcements from major domestic and foreign companies are in full swing this week, the results of the Bank of Japan monetary policy meeting will be announced on the weekend, so it seems that there is a tendency to forego aggressive purchases in order to determine these. Meanwhile, the fact that Dow Jones Industrial Average futures have a strong downward trend due to overtime trading and the fact that the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index has risen drastically are factors supporting stock prices in the Tokyo market.

In the sector, securities futures, insurance, and banking industries are at the top of the rate of increase, while the shipping industry, metal products, and rubber products are at the top of the rate of decline.
