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.
