[Nikkei Stock Average and TOPIX (Table)]
Nikkei Average; 38410.32; decrease by 160.44. TOPIX; 2718.70; decrease by 9.94. On the 20th, Nikkei Average fell for the third consecutive day, by 160.44 yen or 0.42%, dropping to 38,410.32 yen at the start of trading. The previous day, June 19, was Juneteenth, a US public holiday, so the stock market was closed. Major European stock market indices: the German DAX fell by 0.35%, the French CAC40 fell by 0.77%, and the UK's FTSE TM100 rose by 0.17%.
Today's Tokyo stock market was dominated by selling. Yesterday's US stock market was closed, and amidst the mixed performance of major European stock indices, which had few clues, opinions were expressed that the Nikkei Average would face resistance at the upper limit of the 25-day moving average that was positioned in the early 38,700 yen range at the time. Furthermore, even though the Nikkei Average rose yesterday, it was weighed down by upward resistance after rising in early morning trading and stagnating, causing it to temporarily fall. Thus, there were some who pointed out that the market was weak. On the other hand, the market showed a sense of security in the Tokyo market as the exchange rate remained at a high level of 1 dollar = 157 yen and 90 sen due to the yen depreciation and dollar appreciation. However, selling was dominant at the opening. In addition, according to the situation (weekly) of securities trading for foreign and domestic investors announced before the start of trading, overseas investors bought more domestic stocks for the first time in two weeks from June 9 to 15. The amount of net buying was 80 billion yen. Today, WOLVES HAND <194A>, PostPrime <198A> were listed on the TSE Growth Market, and TOWNS <197A> was listed on the TSE Standard Market.

The Nikkei Average fell for the third consecutive day, dropping to 38,410.32 yen at the start of trading, a decrease of 160.44 yen or 0.42%. The previous day, June 19, was Juneteenth, a US public holiday, so the stock market was closed. The Tokyo stock market today was dominated by selling, due to the lack of clues provided by the high/low/mixed performance of major European stock indices and the closure of the US stock market on the previous day. Some analysts indicated that, given that the 25-day moving average was positioned in the early 38,700 yen range at the time, resistance at the upper limit would limit the Nikkei Average's short-term upside potential from here. Yesterday, the Nikkei Average rose, but struggled to rise after opening higher in the morning, and temporarily fell, which weighed on the market. However, the Tokyo market found some stability in the foreign exchange market, as the exchange rate remained at a high level of 1 dollar = 157 yen and 90 sen due to the yen depreciation and dollar appreciation.
