Reflecting the rise in US stocks, there is a movement of autonomous rebound centered around technology stocks.
The Nikkei average rebounded for the first time in seven trading days. It closed at 39,161.34 yen, up 459.44 yen (with an estimated Volume of 1.78 billion shares). In addition to the rise in major stock indices in the USA markets on the previous weekend, the Nikkei average had dropped more than 1,100 yen over the last six trading days, leading to a surge in buying aimed at a self-rebound. It began above 39,000 yen, and although the increase narrowed due to selling as buyers took a pause, Semiconductors and other related stocks remained strong, helping to drive the market.
The Nikkei Average rebounded for the first time in seven days, as buying prevailed due to the avoidance of a U.S. government agency shutdown.
Last weekend, the USA market's Dow Inc average closed up by 498.02 points at 42840.26 points, and the Nasdaq closed up by 199.83 points at 19572.60 points. While some tech stocks saw early selling, leading to a decline at the open, the November Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index suggested progress in inflation control, supporting an increase. The Dow Inc average briefly surged over 800 points higher compared to the previous day, but faced expiration of stock index Futures and Single Options for individual stocks.

Developments while keeping an eye on the exchange rate.
The Nikkei average has fallen for six consecutive trading days. It ended the day at 38,701.90 yen, down 111.68 yen (estimated Volume of 2.7 billion 10 million shares). Following the yen's depreciation after Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda's press conference, there was buying in export-related stocks, such as Automobiles, and the Nikkei average began to rebound. Towards the end of the morning session, it rose to 39,039.68 yen. However, after Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato expressed concerns over the fluctuations in the foreign exchange market, including speculative movements, it was a trigger for short-term Futures.

The immediate stance is to Buy on dips [closing].
The Nikkei Average declined for five consecutive trading days, ending at 38,813.58 yen, down 268.13 yen (estimated Volume of approximately 2.2 billion shares). Following the perception that the results of the USA Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) were hawkish, the major stock indices in the USA fell the previous day, leading to risk-averse selling. The Nikkei Average dipped to 38,355.52 yen shortly after the market opened. However, as the yen weakened to the mid-154 yen range against the dollar, it provided support for the market, while the Bank of Japan continued its financial measures.
