Investment markets in Japan fell in the middle of the week. The Nikkei index fell to its lowest point in four months. The market decline is linked to the rise in the value of the yen, as well as to the uncertainty surrounding the economic prospects of the USA. Investment research specialist at Eways Cosmo Securities Shuichi Arisawa noted that increasing uncertainty has had a negative impact on investor sentiment.
The Nikkei closed down 0.25% to 38,142.37 points, reaching a previous low of 37,742.76 points - the lowest level since October 25. Shuichi Arisawa also added: "The increasing pressure of uncertainty is having a negative influence on investor sentiment." The market experiences bleakness regarding economic perspectives. Despite this, investors made partial recoveries after the price drops, attempting to buy shares.
The Topix index, which has a broader coverage, fell 0.3% to 2,716.4 points. According to Shuichi Arisawa, the growing uncertainty negatively affects investor sentiments.
