The Nikkei Average depreciated by 369 yen (as of 13:50). In terms of the Nikkei average contribution, Fast Rite ＜9983＞, TDK ＜6762＞, Chugai Pharmaceutical ＜4519＞, etc. are top negative contributors, while Advantest ＜6857＞, 7 & iHD ＜3382＞, and East Elec ＜8035＞ are top positive contributors. In the sector, shipping, pharmaceuticals, banking, transportation equipment, and insurance industries are at the top of the price drop rate, while prices of metal products, other products, precision instruments, fisheries/agriculture and forestry, and non-ferrous metals are rising.
The Nikkei Average is moving in the low range. In addition to the fact that the Tokyo market will have 3 consecutive holidays starting tomorrow, US employment statistics for December will be announced tonight in the US, so it seems that aggressive purchases are limited in order to determine this.
