[Backside Overview]
The Nikkei Average in the backstage started at 39167.33 yen, which was 97.65 yen higher than the previous day, with a slight increase from the previous draw (39135.91 yen). Nikkei 225 futures during lunchtime are in the 39100 yen to 39200 yen range, and they are strong and match. The dollar and yen depreciated by about 10 yen from around 9:00 a.m., and the dollar was at a high level of 1 dollar = 156.40-50 yen. As for Asian market conditions, the Shanghai Composite Index remained in the negative zone and fell by about 0.4%, while the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index began to decline, then widened its decline and fell drastically by about 2.0%.
The backstage Tokyo Market began with buying slightly ahead of the previous closing. The fact that the yen exchange rate continues to be stable in the direction of depreciation of the yen and appreciation of the dollar seems to be a sense of security for the Tokyo market. Meanwhile, long-term US interest rates, which rose yesterday in overseas markets, have remained high, and domestic interest rates are also rising, which seems to weigh on stock prices.
In the sector, insurance, petroleum and coal products, and electric/gas industries are at the top of the rate of increase, while real estate, banking, and precision equipment are at the top of the rate of decline.
