As of 14:10, the Nikkei 225 Volatility Index was 35.72, down slightly by 0.36 points, or 1.00%, from the previous day. Today's high so far was 36.46 and the low was 28.58.
Nikkei 225 futures have generally traded firmly. After major indexes fell in yesterday's U.S. stock market, NVIDIA shares plunged at one point following the announcement of the resignation of its CEO, but subsequently pared their losses, providing a measure of reassurance to the Tokyo market. At the same time, concern about the AI and semiconductor industries following the resignation was also evident.
With these positive and negative factors mixed, market sentiment has not tilted in one direction, and the Nikkei VI has fluctuated around yesterday's level.
