The Nikkei Average has remained steady. It seems that there is a sense of security in the Tokyo market that the yen exchange rate has stabilized with the depreciation of the yen and the high level of the dollar in the foreign exchange market. Meanwhile, the fact that Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are moving slightly softly seems to weigh on stock prices.
