Rebounding yen sinks Japan stocks

On Wednesday, Japanese stocks went down because the yen got stronger.

This is bad for big companies that sell things outside of Japan, like Toyota and Sony.

Even though some tech stocks did well, the overall market went down.

The Nikkei, which is like a scoreboard for big Japanese companies, went down a little, and the Topix, which includes more companies, went down a bit more.

Some stocks, like Screen Holdings, did really well, but most didn't.

The stock market in the US did well, which helped some Japanese tech stocks.

But because it's almost the holidays, not many people were trading, so big changes in the market are unlikely.
