Reports regarding Trump tariffs are a burden.
The Nikkei average experienced a significant decline, finishing at 39,605.09 yen, down 375.97 yen (Estimated Volume of 1.8 billion 40 million shares). Selling became prominent due to some reports regarding tariffs in the USA and the tightening of export regulations on Semiconductors to China. With the US market being closed on the 9th, selling by European players was also observed, along with position adjustments ahead of the SQ calculation date for January futures, leading to a drop to 39,385.05 yen during the mid-afternoon session. In the latter part of the session, there was some buying on dips.
Concerns over tariff risks from the incoming Trump administration have led to a stance of waiting for buying opportunities.
[Stocks Opening Comment] The Japanese stock market on the 9th is expected to exhibit a strong sense of market consolidation, but resilience seems to be on the minds of investors. In the US market on the 8th, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 106 points, while the Nasdaq declined by 10 points. Additionally, the 9th is a day of mourning for former President Carter, resulting in the market being closed. There is also a prevailing wait for the US employment statistics announcement scheduled for this weekend, leading to a dominant trend of position adjustments. Moreover, President-elect Trump aims to introduce a new tariff program and is in the process of declaring a national emergency.
The resilience of Semiconductors-related stocks provides support.
The Nikkei average fell, closing at 39,981.06 yen, down 102.24 yen (with an estimated Volume of 1.8 billion and 50 million shares) in Trade. Influenced by the drop in tech stocks in the previous day's USA market, selling started initially, and shortly after the beginning of Trade, it dropped to 39,705.81 yen. However, after the selling subsided, Semiconductors stocks rebounded, and the exchange rate temporarily shifted to a weaker yen at around 158 yen per dollar, leading to a subsequent slow-down in the decline. Additionally, USA stock Futures remained stable.
Assessing the resilience of high-tech stocks after the sell-off.
[Stocks Opening Comment] On the 8th, the Japanese stock market is likely to be influenced by profit-taking actions following the significant rise the previous day. On the 7th, the USA market saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average drop by 178 points, and the Nasdaq fell by 375 points. The JOLTS job openings number for November 2024 and the ISM non-manufacturing index for December exceeded expectations, leading to increased inflation concerns and speculation about a slowdown in the Federal Reserve's rate cut pace, which weighed on the market, causing an increase in long-term interest rates in the USA.

In the previous day's USA market, semiconductor stocks, particularly major players like NVIDIA and Micron Technology Inc, were primarily bought.

The yen rate weakened to around 158 yen to the dollar in the previous day's Overseas market, leading to early buying focused on export stocks such as Automobiles, and the Nikkei average started to rise.

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.
Reflecting the rise in US stocks, there is a movement of autonomous rebound centered around technology stocks.
The Nikkei average rebounded for the first time in seven trading days. It closed at 39,161.34 yen, up 459.44 yen (with an estimated Volume of 1.78 billion shares). In addition to the rise in major stock indices in the USA markets on the previous weekend, the Nikkei average had dropped more than 1,100 yen over the last six trading days, leading to a surge in buying aimed at a self-rebound. It began above 39,000 yen, and although the increase narrowed due to selling as buyers took a pause, Semiconductors and other related stocks remained strong, helping to drive the market.
The Nikkei Average rebounded for the first time in seven days, as buying prevailed due to the avoidance of a U.S. government agency shutdown.
Last weekend, the USA market's Dow Inc average closed up by 498.02 points at 42840.26 points, and the Nasdaq closed up by 199.83 points at 19572.60 points. While some tech stocks saw early selling, leading to a decline at the open, the November Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index suggested progress in inflation control, supporting an increase. The Dow Inc average briefly surged over 800 points higher compared to the previous day, but faced expiration of stock index Futures and Single Options for individual stocks.
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 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.
