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.

In the US market the previous day, hi-tech stocks were mainly bought following the stabilization of crude oil prices and the increase in long-term interest rates, leading to a rise in major stock indices. In the Tokyo market, buying ahead of semiconductors and related stocks pushed the Nikkei average up to 39,456.28 yen shortly after the start of trading. However, moves to secure short-term profits against the background of a recent decline in the Chinese Shanghai market's bullish trend were also observed.
