The Nikkei average has fallen for five consecutive days, influenced by the decline in U.S. stocks, but the decrease in value has narrowed due to the "rate hike being put off."

On the 18th, the U.S. Stocks market continued to decline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 1,123.03 dollars from the previous day to 42,326.87 dollars, while the Nasdaq dropped by 716.37 points to 19,392.69 points. With a strong wait-and-see attitude ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) results announcement, the market opened mixed. While the Dow average, which had been declining until the previous day, saw some buying in major stocks and rose, the Nasdaq started with a slight decline. The FOMC is expected to raise the key policy interest rate by 0.25% as predicted.
