Domestic Stocks market outlook: After the important events in Japan and the United States, the market is expected to be centered around individual investors.
The Nikkei average fell by 768.54 yen (-1.95%) to 38,701.90 yen this week, influenced by a sharp drop in U.S. stocks caused by a "hawkish" rate cut. Amid a strong mood to gauge the results of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting held by the U.S. Federal Reserve on the 17th and 18th, and the monetary policy meeting by the Bank of Japan on the 18th and 19th, Japanese stocks also experienced a slight decline in response to the steep drop in U.S. stocks. The FOMC cut rates by 0.25% as expected.
