The strong yen in the foreign exchange market is a burden. [Closing]
The Nikkei average continued to decline, ending trading at 37,755.51 yen, down 372.62 yen (estimated Volume 2 billion 20 million shares). Profit-taking Sell orders took the lead, starting below the threshold of 38,000 yen, and shortly after the start of the afternoon session, it dropped to 37,633.36 yen. The yen also strengthened to the mid-145 yen range against the dollar, becoming a factor of caution, which burdened export-related stocks such as Toyota <7203>. However, in the context of falling stock price levels, Buy orders were observed from those who were late to buy on dips.
