Due to uncertainties in the US presidential election, the price fell below ¥0.04 million.

The Nikkei average fell significantly for the fourth consecutive business day, closing at 39,599.00 yen, down 464.79 yen from the previous day (with an estimated volume of 1.3 billion 40 million shares), and fell below the 0.04 million yen mark for the first time in three weeks on a closing price basis. On the 21st, President Biden announced his withdrawal from the presidential election. With the possibility of former President Trump's re-election increasing and the growing seriousness of the US-China confrontation, there is also a sense of wariness about future policy operations, leading to a prevailing movement of portfolio adjustments among hedge funds and other traders. The Nikkei average fell below the 0.04 million yen mark.
