The Nikkei Average has been moving slightly. Since financial results announcements for the fiscal year ending April-9 by major domestic companies are in full swing starting this week, it seems that expectations for good performance are a supporting factor for stock prices. Meanwhile, the fact that Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are slightly weak due to overtime trading seems to weigh on the stock price in the Tokyo market.
