Selling dominated Nikkei 225 futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on the 23rd, with the December contract ending at ¥65,925, down ¥1,045 from the previous day. With the Tokyo market closed, declines in U.S. stocks amid rising long-term interest rates appear to have weighed on Nikkei futures.
On the 23rd, the December Nikkei 225 futures contract on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) settled at ¥65,925, down ¥1,045 from the previous day.
The day's move appears to have reflected the impact of a decline in the U.S. stock market, driven by rising long-term interest rates, in addition to the Tokyo market being closed on the final day of a five-day holiday.
According to a report by Nikkei QUICK News (NQN), the weakness in U.S. stocks created selling pressure in Japan's futures market as well.
