The Nikkei 225 fell 0.9% to close at 70,035.71, while the TOPIX fell 0.7% to 4,154.11. Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthi forces claimed responsibility for a new wave of missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia. Together, these developments reflect continued caution in market sentiment, with capital being deployed selectively and no signs of a major influx.

Against this macroeconomic backdrop, it is especially important to view volatility rationally. On the surface, the pressure stems from geopolitical risks combined with a stock market pullback; in reality, what’s being tested is the ability to time an entry. This is not the time to jump in blindly—following the crowd without careful thought can easily lead to losses amid market swings. For those holding cash, staying calm and assessing the situation before acting is far safer than rushing into the market.
