Three key points to watch in the morning session - a market trend of increased stalemate amid limited participation from market players.

In the pre-market trading 28 days ago, attention should be focused on the following three points. ■ A strong consolidation in the market as market participants are limited. ■ Casio has downgraded its operating profit from 16 billion yen to 14 billion yen due to the impact of unauthorized access. ■ Key point in the pre-market: Panasonic HD is entering the North American water heater business in collaboration with a US distributor. ■ A strong consolidation in the market as market participants are limited.
