On the Tokyo stock market on the 18th, the Nikkei Stock Average rose to 2,8658.83 yen. Since April 4, the price has increased for 7 consecutive business days.

There are various factors behind the rise in stock prices. The characteristic of the recent stock market rally is that other stocks have been bought evenly. The amount of Japan shares purchased by foreign investors in the prime market exceeded 1 trillion yen in the five business days to the 1th. This is the first time that the weekly overpurchase amount has exceeded1 trillion yen since the TSE was reorganized in April last year.
