The trend is shifting to search for lower price targets due to worsening signals.

The Nikkei average fell significantly for four consecutive trading days, closing down 716.10 yen at 38,474.30 yen (estimated Volume of 1.9 billion 50 million shares), marking a drop below 39,000 yen for the first time since December 20 last year. In the USA market, technology stocks were sold off, particularly after the Biden administration announced new export regulations on Artificial Intelligence (AI) Semiconductors, which led to a similar trend in the Tokyo market. The downward trend of the Nikkei average strengthened, and at one point during the afternoon session, it was seen falling to 38,305.91 yen.

The Nikkei average has declined for four consecutive days, affected by the drop in US stocks and high-priced Semiconductors.

The US market on the 13th was mixed. The Dow Inc average finished up 358.67 points at 42,297.12, while the Nasdaq ended down 73.53 points at 19,088.10. Following a retreat in expectations for rate cuts, there was continued selling, leading to a drop after the opening. The rise in the Energy Sector driven by higher oil prices and the increase in the Health Care Sector supported the market, allowing the Dow to turn upward. Despite concerns over rising interest rates leading to further declines in tech, the Nasdaq reduced its losses towards the end. The Dow expanded its gains and closed higher.
