The Nikkei Average depreciated by 313 yen (as of 13:55). In terms of the Nikkei average contribution, Fast Lite ＜9983＞, Advantest ＜6857＞, SoftBank G ＜9984＞, etc. are top negative contributors, while KDDI ＜9433＞, FANUC ＜6954＞, M3 ＜2413＞, etc. are top positive contributors. In the sector, mining, precision instruments, land transportation, retail, and real estate industries have high price drop rates, while prices of non-ferrous metals, textile products, banking, glass earth and stone products, and rubber products are rising.
The Nikkei Average is moving in the low range. It seems that the fact that the yen is higher and the dollar is at a lower level compared to the morning, and that the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are weak are weighed on. Also, in the midst of awareness of geopolitical risks surrounding Ukraine, there are few particularly prominent purchasing materials, and aggressive purchases have generally been postponed.
