[Backside Overview]
The backstage Nikkei Average started with 38704.08 yen, 242.85 yen lower than the previous day, and the decline slightly widened from the previous closing (38719.35 yen). Nikkei 225 futures during lunchtime fit in the 38700 yen to 38770 yen range. The dollar and yen depreciate by about 10 yen from around 9:00 a.m., and the dollar is at a high level of 1 dollar = 156.20-30 yen. As for Asian market conditions, while the Shanghai Composite Index moved across the previous day's closing price, there was a scene where the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index declined in the morning, but then it remained in the positive zone and rose by about 0.2%.
The backstage Tokyo Market began with sales slightly ahead of the previous closing. There also seems to be a trend of continuing to forego aggressive purchases in order to determine the financial results of the US semiconductor NVIDIA, which will be announced before dawn on the 23rd Japan time. Meanwhile, although the Nikkei Average was lowered to the front market, the fact that the lower price was strong, and that Dow Jones Industrial Average futures remained steady due to overtime trading, etc., seem to be a sense of security in the Tokyo market.
In the sector, the real estate industry, shipping industry, and electricity/gas industry are at the top of the rate of decline, while securities commodity futures, insurance, and information/communication industries are at the top of the rate of increase.
