The US stock market on the 12th was mixed.

After the market opened based on expectations of a soft landing, it rose. However, there were reports that geopolitical risks had risen due to a possible imminent retaliatory attack by Iran against Israel, leading to selling and accelerating the decline. The purchase of undervalued semiconductor stocks like Nvidia pushed the Nasdaq index to remain steady, while the Dow also saw adjustment selling before the release of an important inflation index, which caused the decline to widen and end mixed.

The Tokyo market opened with a buying trend in view of factors such as the temporary weakening of the yen to over 148 yen to the dollar, and the Nikkei average recovered the 36000 yen level due to buying of certain semiconductor stocks.
