Despite the absence of Overseas investors, a solid development is underway.
The Nikkei Average rebounded, finishing at 39,130.43 yen, up by 93.58 yen (with an estimated Volume of 1.7 billion 60 million shares). Buoyed by the previous day's rise in U.S. tech stocks, buying began early, pushing the Nikkei Average up to 39,180.59 yen shortly after the open. However, with European and American investors entering the Christmas holiday, market participation was low, leading to a shift to a negative trend due to position adjustments, with the index dropping to 38,927.16 yen during the middle of the morning session. The afternoon session saw a market environment characterized by strong stagnation.
The Nikkei average rebounded as trading became sparse with the Christmas holidays approaching.
On the 24th, the US Stocks market continued to rise. The Dow Inc average increased by 390.08 points to 43,297.03, while the Nasdaq finished trading up 266.25 points at 20,031.13. There was caution over rising long-term interest rates, leading to mixed results after the opening. With a shortened trading session on the day before the Christmas holiday, technology stocks continued to be bought, boosting the stock market. Anticipation of a Christmas rally from the 24th through the end of the year aided this rise, and as the day progressed, the gains were expanded at the close. Following the rise in US stocks,

The impact of rising U.S. tech stocks is limited, leading to a shift towards value stocks.
The Nikkei Average fell. It closed at 39,036.85 yen, down 124.49 yen (Volume estimated at 1.8 billion and 40 million shares). Following the rise in US stocks the previous day, buying began to lead, and shortly after the opening, it increased to 39,245.75 yen. However, with the Christmas holiday approaching, the movements of Overseas investors were sluggish, and there was no active push for higher prices. Subsequently, the focus shifted to profit-taking rebalance movements, and by the end of the first half, it dropped to 38,995.76 yen, approaching the key level of 39,000 yen.
The Nikkei average fell back, continuing a lack of direction as the Christmas holiday approaches.

Caution was exercised due to the deterioration of the Consumer Confidence Index, leading to mixed results after the opening. Following the retreat of expectations for rapid interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, long-term Gold rates rose, causing the Dow Inc to decline. However, as high-tech Stocks were purchased in anticipation of a Santa Claus rally, the Nasdaq remained strong, expanding its gains towards the end of the trading session, benefiting the overall market.

Developments while keeping an eye on the exchange rate.
The Nikkei average has fallen for six consecutive trading days. It ended the day at 38,701.90 yen, down 111.68 yen (estimated Volume of 2.7 billion 10 million shares). Following the yen's depreciation after Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda's press conference, there was buying in export-related stocks, such as Automobiles, and the Nikkei average began to rebound. Towards the end of the morning session, it rose to 39,039.68 yen. However, after Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato expressed concerns over the fluctuations in the foreign exchange market, including speculative movements, it was a trigger for short-term Futures.
The Nikkei average fell for the sixth consecutive day, closing at a low due to the decline in financial stocks.
On the 19th, the U.S. Stocks market was mixed. The Dow Inc. rose by $15.37 to close at $42,342.24, while the Nasdaq fell by 19.93 points to end at $19,372.77. After the opening, the market experienced an upward movement. The sharp drop the previous day, due to the indication from the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) of a slowdown in the pace of additional interest rate cuts during the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), was seen as an overreaction, leading to a wave of buying. The domestic Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the July to September period was revised upward, and new unemployment Insurance claims were announced in the morning.

Peering Into Toyota Motor's Recent Short Interest
The immediate stance is to Buy on dips [closing].
The Nikkei Average declined for five consecutive trading days, ending at 38,813.58 yen, down 268.13 yen (estimated Volume of approximately 2.2 billion shares). Following the perception that the results of the USA Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) were hawkish, the major stock indices in the USA fell the previous day, leading to risk-averse selling. The Nikkei Average dipped to 38,355.52 yen shortly after the market opened. However, as the yen weakened to the mid-154 yen range against the dollar, it provided support for the market, while the Bank of Japan continued its financial measures.
