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 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.
