Summary · why it matters

On the 24th, the Nikkei Average opened lower, falling 838.35 yen to 65,584.25 yen. The sharp continued decline of major indices in the US stock market the previous day weighed on sentiment, while rising crude oil prices due to escalating tensions in the Middle East and an increase in domestic long-term interest rates also capped stocks. Meanwhile, although the yen weakened to the 163.80 range against the dollar and there were expectations for the full-fledged start of April-June earnings announcements from major domestic companies, selling dominated at the open. Among the top traded issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market, Disco, SoftBank Group, and Advantest declined, while Takeda Pharmaceutical and INPEX rose.
