ℹ️ Analysis

Yesterday's (9/22) Japanese stocks showed "semiconductor-led rebound."

• Nikkei 225 closed at 45,493.66 (+0.99%), TOPIX at 3,163.17 (+0.49%). Recovery from previous trading day's volatility.

• Background and Analysis: Views spread that the BOJ's ETF selling policy would be "ultra-slow (long-term) with limited market impact," leading to a reversal from the 19th's shock. US tech strength and yen stabilizing around 147 level also provided tailwinds.

Market closed today for holiday (Autumnal Equinox Day observed).

Recent heatmap shows electrical equipment leading (semiconductor manufacturing equipment and design strong). Communications weak.

Technical focus: Attempting upward breakout from consolidation in upper 45,000 range. 46,000 is immediate resistance level, with support at 45,000 and 5-day moving average as potential dip-buying levels.

Investor type trading implications: Foreign investors turned to net selling in the week of 9/2. While there's some futures buying back, cash equity inflows remain sluggish. Watch for futures-driven volatility around events.
