After the Sell leading, there is a movement to buy dips with a short-term bottom awareness.

The Nikkei average made a slight rebound, closing at 36,819.09 yen, up 25.98 yen (with an estimated Volume of 1.8 billion 80 million shares). The trading began with selling due to concerns over worsening economic sentiment caused by President Trump's high tariff policies, which pushed the index down to 36,658.86 yen shortly after the trading started. However, the previous day's drop had seen the index dip below the critical 36,000 yen mark for the first time in six months, prompting views that a near-term bottom had been reached, which supported the market, and buying aimed at a self-rebound also entered afterwards.

Concerns about the slowdown of the Japanese economy temporarily led to a drop below the 36,000 yen level.

The Nikkei average fell. It closed at 36,793.11 yen, down 235.16 yen (Volume approximately 2.2 billion 40 million shares). Concerns about an economic slowdown in the USA due to President Trump's tariff policies led to a significant decline in major stock indices in the previous day's USA market, while the yen strengthened to the mid-146 yen range against the dollar, which also pressured investor sentiment. During the first half of the trading session, the Nikkei average dropped to 35,987.13 yen, breaking below 36,000 yen for the first time in about six months since September 17 of last year.

Although high-tech stocks are steady, there is a stagnation around 37,000 yen.

The Nikkei average rebounded, ending the trade at 37,028.27 yen, up 141.10 yen (Volume approximately 1.7 billion shares). It started with buying due to the rise in US stocks at the end of the previous week, but comments from President Trump led to uncertainty, and there were moments when the Nikkei average turned down to 36,705.02 yen. However, due to the continuous drop in stock prices, there were movements to pick up dips, and the yen, which was close to falling below 147 yen per dollar for a time, stabilized in the late 147 yen range, resulting in a buying movement.
