The backstage Tokyo Market began with buying slightly ahead of the previous closing. The fact that Dow Jones Industrial Average futures have remained steady due to overtime trading also seems to be a sense of security in the Tokyo market. Meanwhile, since the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for April will be announced tonight in the US, there is also a tendency to forego aggressive purchases in order to determine this.

In the sector, rubber products, precision instruments, and electrical equipment are at the top of the rate of increase, while petroleum and coal products, textile products, and land transportation industries are at the top of the rate of decline.
