The Tokyo stock market on the 5th, the beginning of the week, stock prices fell slightly.
▽Nikkei stock average closing price on the 5th was 27,619.61 yen,
31.23
yen lower than last weekend's closing price.
It was the lowest since the stock market division of the Tokyo Stock Exchange was reorganized in April this year.
A market insider said, ``Stock prices fell in the New York market last weekend due to the view that the Fed's monetary tightening stance will not be relaxed, and sell orders were conspicuous in the Tokyo market today. There were few and the transactions were sluggish," he said.
