[Afternoon Investment Strategy]
Although there were moments where the exchange rate reached 154 yen to the dollar, it did not provide a tailwind for export-related stocks. In the afternoon session of the Tokyo market, interest shifted towards earnings report stocks more than the morning session, leading to a lack of direction in the Nikkei Average.
The earnings report stocks during trading hours are as follows: in the 12:00 hour, Kajima Corp <1812>, Nissan Securities G <8705>; in the 13:00 hour, SBS Holdings <2384>, Shimizu Corp <1803>, ADEKA <4401>, JUKI Corp <6440>, Takashimaya <8007>; in the 14:00 hour, Daiwa House <1925>, Mitsui Home Road <1776>, Yakult Honsha <2267>, Sumitomo Osaka Cement <5232>, Iwatani Corp <8088>; at 15:00, Sumitomo Mitsui Construction <1821>, Kumagai Gumi <1861>, JGC Holdings <1963>, Sapporo Holdings <2501>, Suntory Beverage & Food <2587>, Tokyo Seiko <5981>, Sharp Corp <6753>, Haseko Corp <1808>, INPEX <1605>, Idemitsu Kosan <5019>, NXHD <9147>, Taiheiyo Cement <5233>, Sumitomo Metal Mining <5713>, Seiko Group <8050> and others are scheduled to announce.
