After the delayed interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan, the Nikkei average stock price temporarily recovered to 36,500 yen.

The Nikkei average continued to rise significantly for six consecutive trading days, closing up 406.92 yen at 36,452.30 yen (Volume estimated at 1.8 billion 60 million shares). Amid the sharp surge in the after-hours trading of U.S. Microsoft and Meta Platforms Inc, buying started to lead in the Tokyo market, particularly in the Semiconductors sector. Additionally, the depreciation of the yen to the 144 yen level against the dollar following the announcement of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy decision was also viewed as favorable, increasing the number of export-related stocks that gained in value.

ZOZO --- significantly declined, with both actual values and plans falling below market consensus.

Significant continued decline. The day before, financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2025 were announced, showing an operating profit of 64.8 billion yen, which is a 7.8% increase compared to the previous year, but approximately 2.5 billion yen lower than market expectations. For the fiscal year ending March 2026, the forecast is 69.8 billion yen, also a 7.8% increase, but the consensus was around 73 billion yen.
