Advantes --- actions to Buy back ahead of NVIDIA's earnings report.

After a decline the previous day, the indices fell below the 25-day and 75-day moving averages, but despite significant adjustments in Tokyo Electron <8035>, relative strength can be observed. In the USA, there are moves to reduce holdings in large tech stocks, and while a cautious stance cannot be abandoned, in anticipation of NVIDIA's earnings report, it appears that short sellers may find it easier to cover their positions.
