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.
