The number of gains and falls of the Nikkei Average constituent stocks at the time of the big closing on the 17th was 32 stocks with price increases and 191 stocks with price drops, 2 stocks unchanged.
The US market on the 16th was mixed. The Dow average closed at 37798.97 dollars, which was 63.86 dollars higher (+ 0.17%), the NASDAQ was 19.77 points lower (-0.12%) at 15865.25, and the S&P 500 closed at 5051.41, which was 10.41 points lower (-0.21%). In response to an upward revision of the economic growth rate by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and housing-related indicators that fell short of expectations, the situation was mixed. After that, when Vice Chairman Jefferson of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) pointed out the possibility that high interest rates would be prolonged when inflation was prolonged, interest rates rose, and the upper price of the exchange rate was suppressed. Furthermore, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell mentioned the possibility that the economy is strong, inflation progress toward interest rate cuts is insufficient, and current interest rates will be maintained longer than expected, so it became selling material. However, since there is no change that the next action is to cut interest rates, sales are limited. Due to good growth expectations, the Dow was bought again towards the end of the game and remained steady. Meanwhile, high interest rates weighed on, and the NASDAQ declined.
While US stocks were mixed, the reaction of the drastic depreciation the day before took precedence, and the Tokyo market began trading with a slight buying advantage. The Nikkei Average also started positive compared to the previous day, but almost raised donations to a high price and reduced the range and quickly entered the negative zone compared to the previous day. There was also a movement to temporarily switch back and forth after the sales round, but Lasertech ＜6920＞ plummeted in the wake of the financial results announcement of ASML Holdings, a major Dutch semiconductor manufacturing equipment company at 14:00. Semiconductor stocks such as Tokyo Electron ＜8035＞, Advantest ＜6857＞, and Screen HD ＜7735＞ also fell, so the Nikkei Average declined one step further. It was a low price cut, and the closing price split to the 38,000 yen level since 2/14.
The closing Nikkei average was 37961.80 yen, 509.40 yen (-1.32%) lower than the previous day. The trading volume on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market is 1,778.51 million shares, and the trading price is 4,502.4 billion yen. By sector, while the electricity/gas industry, petroleum and coal products, mining, pulp/paper, and securities/commodity futures trading industries declined, only 2 sectors rose, shipping and other products. Stocks that have risen in price on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market are 13%, while stocks that have dropped in price are 84%.
