The Dow average rose 331.37 dollars to 39387.76 dollars, and the NASDAQ closed at 16346.27, which rose 43.51 points. Expectations for interest rate cuts were rekindled due to an increase in the number of weekly unemployment insurance claims, and after being close, they rose.

Buying took precedence in the Tokyo stock market today. The rise in the three major indices (Dow average, NASDAQ composite index, S&P 500) in the US stock market yesterday supported stock prices in the Tokyo market. Also, the fact that long-term US interest rates have declined in overseas markets, and the fact that the yen exchange rate has calmed down to 1 dollar = 155 yen 40 yen in the foreign exchange market gave a sense of security in the market. Furthermore, the announcement of financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31 by major companies has reached an excellent stage, and good financial results and motivation to search for high-performing stocks continued to be factors underpinning stock prices. Meanwhile, in the US stock market yesterday, the fall in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Stock Index (SOX Index) composed of major semiconductor-related stocks weighed on the stock price of semiconductor-related stocks in the Tokyo market, but buying prevailed during the donation stage.
