Decline of the Nikkei Index After Volatile Session

Global financial markets displayed some instability on Monday, which was also reflected in the Japanese stock market. The Nikkei index ended trading down. Despite this, a number of companies showed a solid increase.

Key stocks in Japan also experienced a decrease in value. For example, shares of a major technology company fell by several percent. At the same time, other companies in the healthcare sector showed resilience and even growth.

Experts note that such resilience may persist in the near future due to uncertainty in global markets. According to analysts, linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, risks appear to influence investors, and the situation remains unpredictable.

A representative of one of the major investment firms remarked: "We see that investors react to any news related to the pandemic. This creates additional volatility in the market."
