The Nikkei Stock Average on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the 6th of the week has risen by more than 400 yen from the closing price last weekend.
Buy orders are widespread from the view that the results of US employment statistics released last weekend are well below market expectations and that monetary policy shifts may proceed cautiously.
In addition, Prime Minister Suga has announced that he will not run for the LDP presidential election this month, and the view that the new cabinet will strengthen infection control measures and launch large-scale economic measures is also a source of buying orders.
