Significant decline continues
The Nikkei average stock price fell sharply again.
At the end of last week, the Bank of Japan reviewed its ETF買い入れ targets and decided to buy only the TOPIX-linked ETF.
As a result, there has been continued selling pressure in stocks that contribute most to the Nikkei average.
The Mothers Index declined slightly as well; small- and mid-cap stocks appear to be holding up relatively well.
