[Snuggle Overview]
The Nikkei Average on the 26th rebounded to 37725.61 yen, which rose 97.13 yen, and trading began. The US stock market declined the day before, on the 25th. The Dow average closed at 38085.80 dollars, which depreciated 375.12 dollars, and the Nasdaq closed at 15611.76, which fell 100.99 points. It fell after falling close to sales that were concerned about a slowdown in growth in response to a slowdown in gross domestic product (GDP) growth for the January-March fiscal year. At the same time, since growth in the price index for the same quarter accelerated more than expected, sales that were disgusted by long-term interest rate increases also strengthened. In high tech, sales that received meta's settlement also became heavy, and the Dow continued to decline as Caterpillar's decline pushed down. There was a soft trend throughout the day, but at the end of the day, the decline narrowed with support from purchases expecting financial results from major companies.
Buying took precedence in the Tokyo stock market today. The three major indices (Dow Average, NASDAQ Composite Index, S&P 500) fell in the US stock market yesterday, but the Dow Average fell by more than 700 dollars at one point and then reluctantly closed the transaction, which gave the Tokyo market a sense of security. Also, the fact that the Philadelphia Semiconductor Stock Index (SOX Index), which consists of major semiconductor-related stocks, rose by nearly 2% was a factor supporting the stock price of semiconductor-related stocks in the Tokyo market. Furthermore, since the Nikkei Average depreciated by over 800 yen yesterday, it was easy for purchases aimed at an autonomous rebound to enter. Meanwhile, the fall in the three major indices in the US stock market yesterday and the rise in long-term US interest rates in overseas markets weighed on stock prices in the Tokyo market. Also, since the results of the Bank of Japan monetary policy meeting will be announced today, there was a tendency to forego aggressive purchases in order to determine this, but buying prevailed during the donation stage. Note that in the April Tokyo Metropolitan Consumer Price Index (CPI/mid-term preliminary value), which was announced before the start of trading, the comprehensive index excluding fresh food rose 1.6% from the same month last year. The median market forecast compiled by QUICK was up 2.2% from the same period.
