The Nikkei Average opened lower, down 147.10 yen from the previous trading day at 68,410.63 yen, but later turned positive and is now up about 350 yen. While all three major U.S. stock indexes rose last Friday, selling prevailed in the Tokyo market due to uncertainty over the Middle East situation and rising crude oil prices. Among individual stocks, Advantest, Tokyo Electron, and Kioxia Holdings were slightly lower, while SoftBank Group was firm. Among major stocks, Toyota Motor and Sony Group were slightly lower, Fast Retailing was slightly higher, and Yaskawa Electric, which announced earnings last Friday, started the day with sell orders.
