While Bridgestone ＜5108＞, Mitsubishi UFG＜8306＞, Tokio Marine HD ＜8766＞, ORIX ＜8591＞, etc. rose in comparison with the Tokyo Stock Exchange (157.31 yen equivalent to 1 dollar), Japan Post Bank ＜7182＞, Japan Post ＜6178＞, Renesas ＜6723＞, Advantest ＜6857＞, etc. fell, and the overall situation was mixed. The Chicago Nikkei 225 futures settlement value is 38,635 yen, 145 yen higher than the Osaka daytime ratio.

The US stock market is mixed. The Dow average closed at 38,686.32 dollars, up 574.84 dollars, and the NASDAQ fell 2.06 points to 16,735.02. Since the April core PCE price index was as expected, it was bought in anticipation of interest rate cuts by the end of the year, and after being close, it rose. The Dow remained strong throughout the day, and adjustments at the end of the month, index replacements, etc. had an impact, and the range of gains expanded at the end of the game. Meanwhile, the NASDAQ was pushed by profit-taking sales in the semiconductor sector and turned to a major decline, then reduced the decline and ended in mixed circumstances.

The dollar and yen fell to 156 yen 56 yen in the New York foreign exchange market on 5/31, then rose to 157 yen 35 yen, and closed at 157 yen 28 yen. The US April core PCE price index slowed as expected, individual spending was also weak, and furthermore, dollar sales became dominant due to the view that interest rate cuts by the end of the year were justified because the US-5 Chicago Purchasing Department Association Business Index unexpectedly deteriorated. However, after that, dollar purchases involving the end of the month were observed, and it returned to the first half of the 157 yen range. After rising to 1.0882 dollars, the euro dollar fell to 1.0840 dollars and closed at 1.0849 dollars. Since the Eurozone May Consumer Price Core Index preliminary data, which was announced ahead of next week's European Central Bank (ECB) board meeting, unexpectedly accelerated, uncertainty spread about interest rate cuts at next week's board meeting, and euro purchases accelerated. However, the Portuguese central bank governor Centeno stated that “the acceleration in May inflation will slightly exceed expectations,” and euro purchases receded due to the view that interest rate cuts in June will be carried out as planned.

NY crude oil futures for the July period on 5/31 showed a soft trend (NYMEX crude oil July closing price: 76.99 ↓ 0.92).
