With U.S. stock market declines and a stronger yen in the forex market as cues, the Tokyo market began trading with a preference for selling. Although the Nikkei average started below 38,000 yen, after refraining from active trading due to Thanksgiving Week, it struggled to decline after an initial round of selling. As it was reported before 11 a.m. that the U.S. government plans to impose additional semiconductor regulations on China, Tokyo Electron <8035> and Screen HD <7735> rose sharply, leading to an increase in semiconductor stocks.

Additionally, Casio <6952>, Ebara Corporation <6361>, Okuma <6103>, Panasonic HD <6752>, and Chugai Pharmaceutical <4519> all rose.

In addition, Advantest <6857> and Lasertec <6920> declined, leaving semiconductor stocks mixed.
