The Nikkei average continues to rise, with a sense of relief leading the way due to Governor Shida's remarks at the Bank of Japan.

On the 22nd, the US stock market fell. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 40,712.78, down 177.71 points (-0.43%), the Nasdaq closed at 17,619.36, down 299.63 points (-1.67%), and the S&P 500 closed at 5,570.64, down 50.21 points (-0.89%). Weekly jobless claims did not surprise, and concerns about the rapid deterioration of the labor market subsided, leading to an increase after the opening. The number of existing home sales exceeded expectations, and with the rise in long-term interest rates, the focus shifted to high-tech.

Unfazed by the possibility of a repeat of "Black Monday," the Governor of the Bank of Japan is resolutely hawkish, still planning to raise interest rates.

Although the Japanese stock market just experienced a "Black Monday" crash earlier this month, the Bank of Japan's determination to raise interest rates does not seem to be shaken. On Friday, Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda Haruhiko stated during a parliamentary questioning session that if Japan's inflation and economic data continue to meet the central bank's expectations, the Bank of Japan will continue to raise interest rates.
