The Nikkei VI was down 0.10% from the previous day at 30.38 as of 14:00, a modest decline. In the Tokyo market, NVIDIA's earnings provided some reassurance, while concerns over higher crude oil prices and U.S. long-term interest rates also kept market sentiment from tilting in one direction.
The Nikkei Volatility Index (Nikkei VI) edged down to 30.38 as of 14:10, a decline of 0.03 from the previous day, or 0.10%. The high so far was 31.63, and the low was 29.80.
Buying led the Tokyo market, with Nikkei 225 futures opening higher, but firm crude oil prices and higher U.S. long-term interest rates in overseas markets are acting as sources of caution. With these positive and negative factors mixed, market sentiment has been unlikely to tilt in one direction, and the Nikkei VI has moved around its current level while tracking share price movements.
