Buy-backs are dominant as a clue to the progress of the yen's depreciation.

The Nikkei average rebounded significantly, closing at 38,651.97 yen, up 732.42 yen (with an approximate volume of 1.96 billion shares). Bargain hunting was favored as a rebound from the previous day's sharp decline, with a wide range of stocks bought back as a clue due to the yen-dollar exchange rate approaching the mid-144 yen level and the yen weakening. The Nikkei average continued to show a strong undertone at the opening low, expanding its gains to 38,718.13 yen by the mid-afternoon. In the afternoon, profit-taking selling is also likely to come in as the rebound is narrowed.
