High-tech stocks struggled, with the Nasdaq Composite Index softening towards the end of trading and closing in negative territory. However, the January US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.4% year-on-year, slightly below the preliminary consensus.
In response, US long-term interest rates have declined, and selling pressure on long-term bonds in Japan has also eased, creating a positive environment for stock prices. With sideways monitoring of long-term interest rates and exchange rate trends, attention is focused on whether they can absorb selling pressure above the 57,000 yen level.
