Concerns about the decline in U.S. stocks and the appreciation of the yen are present, but there is a sense of underlying strength.
The Nikkei average continued to decline, finishing trading at 34,220.60 yen, down 59.32 yen (Volume estimated at 1.4 billion 30 million shares). Reflecting the drop in major stock indices in the previous day's USA market, selling started ahead. There was a moment right after the opening when it turned positive at 34,340.57 yen, but the buying did not continue, and by the middle of the morning session, it had dropped to 34,109.85 yen. However, nearing the psychological barrier of 34,000 yen, there was a resistance to falling due to the bargains stemming from perceived value, and the yen exchange rate is at its highest in about seven months.

The Bank of Japan faces obstacles in raising interest rates, and Mizuho urges to take advantage of this opportunity to accelerate the reduction of bond purchases.
The Bank of Japan should accelerate the pace of reducing the scale of government Bonds purchases, as the possibility of pausing interest rate hikes will provide greater flexibility for the Bank of Japan to adjust its reduction plan.
