The Nikkei average declined for the first time in five days, with a trend of profit-taking after the announcement of the Bank of Japan meeting results.

On the 23rd, the US Stocks market continued to rise. The Dow Inc average increased by $408.34 to $44,565.07, and the Nasdaq closed up by 44.34 points at 20,053.68. Employment-related Indicators were weak, and concerns about the Stunk in Semiconductors demand surfaced, weighing on high-tech stocks, which led to a soft start after the opening. Subsequently, President Trump reaffirmed plans for the largest tax cuts and deregulation in history during a speech at the Davos Conference, and requested a reduction in interest rates and a decline in crude oil prices.
