Risk-averse movements due to the decline in U.S. tech stocks and the appreciation of the yen.
The Nikkei average has significantly fallen for the first time in three days, ending down 817.76 yen at 36,887.17 yen (with an estimated Volume of 1.9 billion 90 million shares), marking the first time since September 18 of last year that it has closed below 37,000 yen in about six months. This decline was attributed to a lack of confidence following the previous day's drop in US tech stocks and the strengthening of the yen, leading to an increase in risk aversion. Although there were moves to buy on dips after breaking below the key 37,000 yen mark, the US is awaiting the release of the February employment statistics, and market participants want to assess the results and the subsequent trends in the US market.
