The Nikkei 225 Stock Average had risen to the 24,000-25,000 yen level through early October, mainly on the back of the yen's depreciation and expectations for favorable corporate results, but fell thereafter, partly due to a decline in U.S. stock prices and uncertainties over the trade friction between the United States and China, and was moving at around 22,000 yen recently.
