US stocks rose and the yen weakened, leading to buying ahead but facing heavy resistance.

The Nikkei average continued to rise. It closed at 39,380.89 yen, up 102.93 yen (trading volume estimated at 1.5 billion shares). Buying took the lead in response to the rise in major stock indexes in the US market the previous day and the yen's depreciation to the mid-149 yen level against the dollar. The Nikkei average rose to 39,616.59 yen shortly after the start of trading. However, it was easy for selling pressure on rebounds to enter at higher levels, leading to a stalemate situation after the buying wave subsided. In the US, the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September is pending.
