On the 12th, the Tokyo Stock Market fell more than ¥ 1,000 in the morning due to concerns about the spread of the new coronavirus infection. In the afternoon deal, buybacks have been taking place and the decline has been somewhat reduced.

In the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the 12th, Nikkei 225 dropped temporarily by more than 1,000 yen after selling orders increased after US President Trump addressed measures to curb the spread of the new coronavirus on the morning of Japan time.

In the afternoon, there are some buy-backs.

Market officials said, "President Trump's speeches were often perceived as not meeting the expectations of the market due to specific measures, such as economic measures, which led to a surge in sales orders. After meeting with Prime Minister Abe, the Bank of Japan's Governor Kuroda said. The remarks were nothing new, but the decline was somewhat reduced as a result of buying back declining stocks. "
