Nikkei average drops by over 2,000 yen, triple shock hits Japanese stocks
The rapid decline of the Nikkei average was triggered by the weaker-than-expected US economic indicators announced the previous day. In addition to the increasing awareness of the possibility of a US economic recession, the high expectations for high-tech stocks such as semiconductors, which have been driving the global stock market, have also diminished. Furthermore, the current strength of the yen against the dollar is piling up specific negative factors for Japanese stocks, as it is expected to result in a downturn in corporate performance. The sudden 'triple shock' has chilled investor sentiment and made it difficult to see the bottom.

  • 182791546 : Ueda & Kishida's own goals
    I don't need Japanese stocks anymore

  • ゴーちゃん : tonight is a shambles 💦
    I have nothing but expectations for employment statistics

  • たくさん0119 : don't be kidding. Isn't it because of idiots in the government and the Bank of Japan? really idiots, stop it. Something is going up in the economy. I guess only prices have gone up. Withdraw interest rate hikes or something and return the yen to depreciation. Don't you think about raising interest rates after your salary or something goes up. Not much.

  • 183669190 : What should I do... (;;)

  • 181502738 : Summer Blood Festival! Pretend to be dead!

  • NIGHT RIDER ゴーちゃん : How to fall like this.. What is it

  • SORA IZUM : Investment policies are shown from savings
    While there are many people who have started buying stocks at NISA,
    The Bank of Japan and the Ministry of Finance seem to spunge at this timing
    So, what are you thinking?
    If we do it sooner, it will be up to this point
    I wonder if stocks depreciated.
    Japanese people's negative feelings about investment remain
    Perfectly in mentality development
    Negative, isn't it?

  • NAOKI1116 : Does the Bank of Japan understand what it has done?
    If interest rates were raised all at once due to exchange rate intervention, even middle school students now know, who will take responsibility for the new NISA Zutabolo? What is the total investment of 100 million!
    Kishida, take responsibility

  • よろぴこ : Up to this point, it is no longer just the result of an acceleration in the appreciation of the yen and the recession in the US economy. As a matter of fact, this extreme drop has gone too far and is too unnatural.

    The Japanese market is being swayed by hedge fund sales aimed at borrowing, short sales, and sales by overseas investors. If they sell it in a hurry here, they think it's a pot they think.

    It is quite possible that an explosion will occur from around late August towards the SQ week in September. Until then, bear with me.

  • サエモンノスケ : Bank of Japan Governor Ueda went on an outrage leading to an appreciation of the yen by manipulating interest rates. It's crazy to raise interest rates in a situation where real wages have been declining for 26 consecutive months.
    As a countermeasure against the depreciation of the yen, profits obtained through exchange intervention were provided to citizens, or consumption tax would have been reduced.
    I pray that today's Nikkei crash will not result in the Reiwa Depression.
