The Nikkei Average is 9 yen weak (as of 13:50). In terms of the Nikkei average contribution, East Elec ＜8035＞, Advantest ＜6857＞, SoftBank G ＜9984＞, etc. are top negative contributors, while Fast Rite ＜9983＞, Chugai Pharmaceutical ＜4519＞, and Shin-Etsu ＜4063＞ are top positive contributors. In the sector, transportation equipment, insurance, electricity/gas, service industries, fisheries/agriculture and forestry have the highest price drop rate, and petroleum and coal products, metal products, machinery, mining, and banking industries are at the top of the price increase rate.

The Nikkei Average is moving around the previous day's closing price. While there are few new clues, it seems that aggressive trading has generally been postponed because they want to determine the June US personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index to be announced in the US tonight, and the results of the Bank of Japan monetary policy meeting and FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) to be held next week.
