Buy-backs are dominant as a clue to the progress of the yen's depreciation.
The Nikkei average rebounded significantly, closing at 38,651.97 yen, up 732.42 yen (with an approximate volume of 1.96 billion shares). Bargain hunting was favored as a rebound from the previous day's sharp decline, with a wide range of stocks bought back as a clue due to the yen-dollar exchange rate approaching the mid-144 yen level and the yen weakening. The Nikkei average continued to show a strong undertone at the opening low, expanding its gains to 38,718.13 yen by the mid-afternoon. In the afternoon, profit-taking selling is also likely to come in as the rebound is narrowed.

The Nikkei average fell sharply. It closed at a price of 37,919.55 yen, down 1910.01 yen (volume approximately 2.6 billion shares) at the end of trading. In the LDP presidential election, Mr. Shigeru Ishiba was elected as the new party leader in a come-from-behind victory. Last week, Mr. Takashi acted negatively towards the Bank of Japan's monetary policy and ended up being the top vote-getter in the first round of voting, causing the yen to depreciate in the foreign exchange market and leading to a significant increase in the Nikkei average. However, after losing in the runoff vote, the high expectations for Mr. Takashi led to a sudden unwinding of positions that had been bought. Following the sharp decline at the beginning, there was also a reluctance to further decline.
