.
The point to look at the Tokyo stock market on the 15th is that the consumer price index will increase caution about interest rate hikes in the United States.
The US consumer price index announced on the night of the 14th Japan time exceeded market expectations and left the impression that inflation is persistent.
As a result, the market speculated that the Fed, the central bank of the United States, would continue to aggressively raise interest rates, and the dollar was bought, causing the yen to depreciate.
As a result, the Tokyo market on the 15th was dominated by buying in the morning, mainly in export-related stocks such as automobiles.
However, in response to the decline in stock prices in other major Asian markets due to concerns about the interest rate hike in the United States, many stocks were ordered to sell in the Tokyo market, and stock prices fell.
The situation where the Japanese stock market is influenced by the trend of interest rate hikes in the United States is likely to continue.
