In the 'Triple Witching' period where the expiry date of U.S. stock-related options is concentrated, there were selling pressures to adjust positions, while buying support for undervalued stocks lifted the market. The Nasdaq was weighed down by selling of semiconductor companies Nvidia and Micron Technology, which had also fallen the previous day. Today, the TOPIX Growth Market 250 index futures started at 627 points, down 4 points from the previous trading day.
