Stock price temporarily drops over 600 yen Iran warns of U.S. military base attack January 8 at 16:12
On the 8th, the Tokyo Stock Market and the Nikkei Stock Average temporarily dropped over 600 yen. Iran's attacks on U.S. military bases stationed in Iraq have helped make it almost cheaper.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Nikkei Average on the 8th dropped more than ¥ 600 at the time of the morning trade and fell below ¥ 23,000 for the first time in a month and a half since last November.
Since then, the price decline has shrunk slightly, with the Nikkei Stock Average closing at 8,204.76 yen, down 370.96 yen from the 7th.
TSE stock index = Topics fell 23.65 to 1701.40.
The daily trading volume was 1,453.11 million shares.
This was due to the spread of sell orders as Iran warned that ballistic missiles aimed at US military bases in Iraq would increase the risk of the world economy.
However, the Iranian side posted on Twitter, "I do not want to intensify the tension and war."
Market officials said, "President Trump will issue a statement tonight in Japan, and investors are paying attention to changes in the situation, including whether there is any retaliation on the US side."
