As of the closing of the market on the 22nd, the number of rising stocks among the constituent stocks of the Nikkei average was 46, the number of falling stocks was 178, and the number of unchanged stocks was 1.

The Nikkei average fell sharply for the fourth consecutive day. After the morning session, it closed the trading at 39,593.81 yen (with an approximate trading volume of 0.7 billion shares) which was 469.98 yen (down 1.17%) lower than the previous trading day. On the 19th, the U.S. stock market continued to fall. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the trading day at 40,287.53 yen, down 377.49 dollars (-0.93%), the Nasdaq Composite Index was at 17,726.94, down 144.28 points (-0.81%), and the S&P 500 was at 5,505.00, down 39.59 points (-0.71%). Due to the concern that a system failure will cause confusion in the world's economic activities, the market started to fall after the opening. In addition, selling to close out before next week's earnings announcements from high-tech companies also weighed on the market. As the system was restored, the market stopped falling, but continued to be sluggish throughout the day. In response to the drop in U.S. stocks, the Tokyo market started with selling pressure. The Nikkei average, which started below 40,000 yen due to declines in electrical and precision instrument-related stocks such as semiconductor stocks, gradually expanded its decline, dropping to the 39,500-yen range for the first time since July 2. Although the foreign exchange market and the bond market were stable, all mainstream stocks on the prime market experienced a decline.
