Asian market sentiment is fragile, and the Japanese stock market may fall after the holiday.

Asian stock markets suffered another heavy blow at the opening on Monday, with the possibility of the largest decline this week likely to be the Japanese stock market. Due to the holiday in Japan last Friday, while other regions' stock markets generally fell. Over the weekend, there was no substantial easing of tensions between the US and Iran, so the Tokyo stock market may follow the global economic trend downward, further exacerbating the overall panic in Asian stock markets. Nikkei 225 stock index futures traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange indicated a potential drop of over 4% from Thursday's closing price.
