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 = 157.00-05 yen. As for Asian market conditions, while the Shanghai Composite Index moved forward and backward with the previous day's closing price in between, the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index expanded its decline in the negative zone and fell by about 0.9%.
The backstage of the Tokyo market began with buying slightly ahead of the previous closing. The fact that Dow Jones Industrial Average futures have remained steady due to overtime trading seems to be a sense of security in the Tokyo market. On the other hand, there are no notable purchasing materials in Japan, and since it is a weekend, there is also a tendency to forego aggressive purchases.
In the sector, securities commodity futures, mining, and real estate industries are at the top of the rate of decline, while the electric/gas industry, steel, and non-ferrous metals are at the top of the rate of increase.
