後場に注目すべき3つのポイント~欧州政治不安と先物売りで一時38000円を割り込む

Three points to watch for in the afternoon session: European political uncertainty, futures selling, and temporary plunge below 38,000 yen.

Fisco Japan ·  Jun 17 11:37

In the afternoon of the 17th, there are three points worth noting in the trading.

・The Nikkei average fell sharply, temporarily falling below 38,000 yen due to European political instability and futures selling.

・The USD/JPY is sluggish, following the US interest rates.

・The top contributors to the decline are Fast Retailing <9983> and Toshiba Corp. <8035>.

■The Nikkei average fell sharply, temporarily falling below 38,000 yen due to European political instability and futures selling.

The Nikkei average fell significantly. It ended the morning session at 38,106.41 yen (volume estimated at 770 million shares), down 708.15 yen (-1.82%) from the previous trading day.

The U.S. stock market was mixed on the 14th. The Dow Jones fell 57.94 points (-0.15%) to 38,589.16, the Nasdaq rose 21.32 points (+0.12%) to 17,688.88, and the S&P500 ended trading at 5,431.60, down 2.14 points (-0.04%). Buyers' expectations of rate cuts waned, causing a drop after the opening. Concerns about a slowdown in consumption increased as the June Michigan Consumer Confidence Index fell more than expected, pushing down the market. Thanks to the decline in interest rates and Adobe's good earnings, the Nasdaq rallied in the late stages to update its all-time high for the fifth consecutive day. The Dow also narrowed its decline, but failed to erase its decline and ended mixed.

The Tokyo market started trading on a sell-off due to concerns such as European political instability. The Nikkei average started at 38,440.98 yen and at one point fell below 38,000 yen, expanding its decline. In some cases, foreign investors were observed to have put in futures sales after seeing the content of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy meeting. After the first wave of selling, it recovered to the 38,000 yen level, but the morning session was still dominated by selling pressure.

In the Nikkei average adoption stocks, Advantest <6857>'s decline was noticeable, as well as real estate stocks such as Tokyo Tatemono <8804> and Sumitomo Realty <8830>. In addition, a wide range of stocks, such as Ricoh <7752>, Olympus <7733>, Nippon Steel <5631>, Suzuki <7269>, and resonac holdings <4004>, were sold.

Meanwhile, Solar Edge <6976> became the sole riser on the adoption of US Apple and updated its all-time high for the year. In addition, Yamato Holdings <9064>, Nichirei <2871>, Eisai <4523>, and Kajima <1812> were bought. Only 18 stocks rose among the Nikkei average adoption stocks.

In the midst of a decline in all industries, the decline in mining, real estate, pulp and paper, precision equipment, and insurance industries was noticeable.

At the Bank of Japan's monetary policy meeting on the 14th, the bank decided to reduce purchases of government bonds, but some investors appear to have initiated futures sales, believing that the bank would embark on quantitative tightening (QT). At the press conference, Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said, in response to a question of whether the reduction in government bond purchases represents QT, that "there is no monetary policy element involved, and we want to operate it while minimizing it." While he suggested that it was not QT, there is a possibility that some people misunderstood that the Bank of Japan had transitioned from monetary easing to monetary tightening. Although it seems to be a problem of interpretation rather than miscommunication, the timing of the European political unrest also contributed to the expansion of the decline. In the afternoon, although it seems that the decline will stop for a while, we need to be cautious about the index's significant decline around 2:00 p.m., when European investors are expected to participate.

■The USD/JPY is sluggish, following the US interest rates.

On the morning of the 17th in the Tokyo market, the USD/JPY was sluggish, rising from 157.29 yen to 157.66 yen and then losing momentum. The rise in the yield on US 10-year bonds has subsided and it seems that dollar buying has temporarily ceased. On the other hand, the Nikkei average stock price has fallen significantly, with risk-averse yen buying putting downward pressure on it.

The trading range so far has been USD/JPY 157.29 yen to 157.66 yen, EUR/JPY 168.33 yen to 168.74 yen, and EUR/USD 1.0699 dollars to 1.0709 dollars.
