7 months of consecutive month-end stability
Nikkei stock average falls sharply for the first time in five days.
In the morning, following the rise in long-term U.S. interest rates, the U.S. stock market for 30 days fell, leading to selling pressure.
With the prior day’s four-session streak (dividend adjust), a reaction pulled the index down to 29,165 yen (down 267 yen from the previous close).
After a brief rebound during the first round, it temporarily recovered to 29,348 yen (down 83 yen) but softened again.
It rose back around 14:30, but selling occurred near the close.
This marks seven consecutive months of monthly declines. Even the Day of Heavenly Blessing could not help...
However, the beginning of the month has posted gains for three consecutive months.
The Mothers Index remained solid. Buying emerged for major/blue-chip stocks that had been fluctuating weakly.
