The trend of risk aversion continues, reaching the 33,000 yen level for the first time in eight months.
The Nikkei Average continued to decline significantly. It closed at 33,780.58 yen, down 955.35 yen (estimated Volume 3.2 billion 10 million shares), breaking below 34,000 yen for the first time in about eight months since August 5 of last year. Due to the USA's mutual tariffs and concerns over a global economic slowdown, the major Overseas stock indices plummeted the previous day, leading to a steep decline in the Nikkei Average at the start. It fell below the 34,000 yen mark in the middle of the morning session. After that, there were some buybacks due to a rebound from the sharp declines.
The attitude of risk aversion influenced by mutual tariffs is strengthening.
The Nikkei average fell sharply, closing at 34,735.93 yen, down 989.94 yen (with an estimated Volume of 2.7 billion 10 million shares), marking the first time in about eight months since August 8 of last year that it dropped below the 35,000 yen level. Following the announcement of details regarding reciprocal tariffs by the Trump administration, there has been an increased risk aversion due to concerns over a global economic slowdown. The Tokyo market saw selling pressure on a wide range of stocks, which led to a dip to 34,102.00 yen immediately after the market opened. Following that, there was a rebound from the sharp decline.

Movements for rebalancing ahead of the announcement of mutual tariffs.
The Nikkei average continued to rise, finishing the trade at 35,725.87 yen, up 101.39 yen (Volume estimated at 1.8 billion 40 million shares). Following the buying trend in tech stocks from the previous day's USA market, the Tokyo market also saw gains in high-value tech stocks. However, many were looking to assess the details of the Trump administration's "mutual tariffs" set to be announced tomorrow at 5 AM Japan time, leading to a decline to 35,426.33 yen at one point. After that, it exhibited a range bound around the previous day's close.

The stance of waiting and seeing is strengthening in anticipation of the mutual tariff implementation by the US administration.
[Stocks Opening Comment] The Japanese stock market on the 2nd is expected to start with a slight Buy, but then it seems likely to develop into a market with a strong wait-and-see attitude. The US market on the 1st saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average drop by 11 points, while Nasdaq rose by 150 points. Concerns about the US economy increased as the ISM Manufacturing Index and JOLTS job openings came in below Financial Estimates. With the announcement of reciprocal tariffs by the Trump administration just a day away, active trading was held back. However, there was speculation that the tariff measures were fluid.
Despite the rebound from a significant drop, the cautious mood remains strong, barely pushing into the positive.
The Nikkei average rebounded slightly, ending the trade at 35,624.48 yen, up 6.92 yen (with an estimated Volume of 1.7 billion 50 million shares). Following the significant decline the previous day, there was early Buy interest aiming for a self-rebound, pushing the Nikkei average to rise to 36,052.54 yen shortly after the start. However, due to concerns about the contents of the mutual tariffs scheduled for the 2nd under the Trump administration, the pursuit of higher prices was cautious, and a wait-and-see mood gradually spread. Additionally, in the latter half of the session, movements were noted that were considered profit-taking by domestic Institutions at the beginning of the period.

Concerns over stagflation in the U.S. have led to a risk-averse shift.
The Nikkei average has significantly declined for three consecutive trading days. With a drop of 1,502.77 yen, it closed at 35,617.56 yen (Volume estimated at 2.3 billion 30 million shares), marking the first time it fell below 36,000 yen in closing prices since September 11 of last year, around six and a half months ago. The influence of the decline in the US market on the 28th strengthened risk aversion movements. Following this trend, a nearly broad-based decline occurred, leading the Nikkei average to fall below 36,000 yen soon after the market opened. After that, it continued to hover around 35,600 yen.
