After a three-day rise, it has fallen back and briefly dropped below 39,000 yen.
The Nikkei average fell for the first time in three days, closing down 105.79 yen at 39,164.61 yen (Volume estimated at 1.8 billion 60 million shares). It started to drop due to caution over Trump tariffs. As support at the 25-day moving average held, buying on dips expanded, and in the middle of the morning session, it rose to 39,298.05 yen. However, with the speech from BoJ's Takada creating early expectations for additional rate hikes, it fell below the key level of 39,000 yen, ending the morning session at 38,994.70 yen. After that, material cues are awaited.
The Nikkei average has risen for three consecutive days, with Semiconductors stocks being bought, but the stronger yen is a burden.
On the 5th, the Dow Inc in the US market closed up $317.24 at $44,873.28, while the Nasdaq ended up 38.31 points at 19,692.33 points. Disappointment over Alphabet's disappointing earnings report, which operates the search engine Google, led to selling in the tech sector, resulting in mixed performance after the market opened. While the decline of Alphabet weighed on the Nasdaq, the rise of the semiconductor NVIDIA offset this, allowing it to recover into positive territory towards the end. The Dow was supported by expectations of additional interest rate cuts which contributed to lower interest rates and a weaker dollar.
