【Fuji Tomi】 Nikkei Stock Average falls for the first time in three days, weighed down by uncertainty in U.S. political situation and the English bombing attack

The Nikkei 225 ended three trading sessions of decline with a drop of 65.00 yen (0.33%) from the previous close, finishing at 19,613.28 yen. Reports that “the U.S. president asked two intelligence officials to deny any collusion with Russia” and the “terror explosion incident at a concert venue in Manchester, England” discouraged investors, leading to selling of the major stocks as a result of a stronger yen. On the other hand, demand for dips in high-performing stocks remained strong, so the downside for the index was limited. The Nikkei’s projected P/E ratio is 14 times, the lowest level in the past six months, providing support to the overall market.

TOPIX also fell for the third straight trading session, ending at 1,565.22 points, down 2.43 points (0.16%) from the previous day. The Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section's total bid value was 2.063 trillion yen, with a trading volume of 1.54376 billion shares. The number of declining issues on the First Section was 904, rising issues 978, and unchanged 134.
