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.

The highest price has been updated for consecutive days. Regarding the new Game Console "Nintendo Switch 2," which will be released in 2025, it has been reported that the company's president stated that products will be prepared to meet demand. It is also conveyed that there is a desire to achieve a Start Dash that the current console Switch was unable to accomplish. Although sales of the current console are expected to decline in anticipation of the new model, the earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2025 has been revised downward, but it did not lead to a negative reaction.

The Nikkei average declined for the first time in five days, with a trend of profit-taking after the announcement of the Bank of Japan meeting results.
On the 23rd, the US Stocks market continued to rise. The Dow Inc average increased by $408.34 to $44,565.07, and the Nasdaq closed up by 44.34 points at 20,053.68. Employment-related Indicators were weak, and concerns about the Stunk in Semiconductors demand surfaced, weighing on high-tech stocks, which led to a soft start after the opening. Subsequently, President Trump reaffirmed plans for the largest tax cuts and deregulation in history during a speech at the Davos Conference, and requested a reduction in interest rates and a decline in crude oil prices.
The Nikkei average rebounded significantly, temporarily recovering to 39,000 yen, but caution regarding Trump 2.0 weighed heavily.

In addition to the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) upward revision of global and domestic economic growth forecasts for 2025, optimistic views on the economy were spreading due to the better-than-expected number of housing starts and industrial production in December, leading to a rise after the opening. With the presidential inauguration set for the 20th, there are expectations for regulatory easing by the next administration and support measures for businesses and the economy.
NINTENDO CO LTD - continued decline, as expectations for the new Game Console have been somewhat factored in, leading to a downgrade by a U.S. securities firm.
Continued decline. Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities has downgraded its investment rating from "overweight" to "equal weight," while leaving the Target Price at 9,800 yen. Although there has been no change in the outlook for performance expansion due to Switch 2, it seems to determine that the stock price has somewhat incorporated these expectations. They would like to monitor the expected release in June-July and subsequent sell-through to explore whether there is an opportunity to turn back to a positive stance.
