The Nikkei Average is moving in the low range. While the appreciation of the yen and depreciation of the dollar is progressing as a factor holding back buyers in the Tokyo stock market, the Nikkei Average continued to fall by more than 2100 yen for 6 days until yesterday, and there is an indication that it is easy to buy at a lower price from the view that it is too rapid to fall. Also, the fact that Dow Jones Industrial Average futures have remained steady due to overtime trading also seems to be a supporting factor for stock prices in the Tokyo market.
