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.

The Nikkei average has fallen for four consecutive days, while Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors have hit the stop-high, but the Index ETF has seen little movement.

On the 17th, the U.S. stock market declined. The Dow Inc average fell by 267.58 points to 43,449.90 dollars, while the Nasdaq closed down 64.83 points at 20,109.06. After opening lower due to high long-term interest rates, it continued to decline. The retail revenue for November, announced in the morning, exceeded market Financial Estimates, and while there has been no change in the view that the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), it has led to speculation that the pace of rate cuts next year will be gradual.

Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi merging? Japanese car companies need to band together for warmth.

Nissan is currently mired in financial difficulties, with only 12 to 14 months of Cash / Money Market reserves left, facing pressure from aggressive Shareholders and a huge debt burden, and its stock price has dropped about 39% so far this year; Honda has once again lowered its performance and delivery guidance.
