On Monday the 14th, the Nikkei Stock Average's morning close on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was ¥63,498.61, down ¥512.73 from the previous Friday's close. The index continued to decline from the opening in the morning session, with selling said to have prevailed against a backdrop of monetary policy and corporate earnings trends.
The Nikkei traded below the previous Friday's closing level, and reports indicated that investors' risk-averse stance had strengthened. Market participants pointed to the possibility that developments going forward could be influenced by domestic and overseas economic indicators and corporate trends.
The decline during the morning session was attributed in part to factors including earnings announcements by major companies and movements in foreign exchange rates. The market is expected to continue closely monitoring the Nikkei's performance and trends in related markets.
