Trend Micro shares rose 4% in the Tokyo stock market on the 8th. The move was reportedly driven by market participants' appetite for unauthorised-access-related stocks.
In the Tokyo stock market on the 8th, the Nikkei 225 extended its decline, ending down ¥993.60 from the previous day at ¥69,042.11. Selling by overseas investors following declines in US stocks was the main factor, with selling also affecting index futures and major stocks, while uncertainty over the situation in the Middle East further weakened investor sentiment.
Trend Micro's share price rose approximately 4% on the same day. Reports cited buying in the company's shares in connection with developments related to unauthorised access as one factor behind the move.
