[Nikkei Stock Average and TOPIX (Table)]
Nikkei average; 38597.55; -105.96 Topix; 2751.85; -5.38 On the 7th, the Nikkei Average fell by 105.96 yen to 38597.55 yen and opened lower. The previous day's US stock market was mixed. The Dow Jones rose 78.84 dollars to 38886.17 dollars, and the Nasdaq ended trading at 17173.12, down 14.78 points. As the weekly initial jobless claims exceeded expectations and continued to buy expected interest rate cuts, it rose after the opening. Dow remained firm despite profit-taking sales holding back the upper limit as it faces the release of employment statistics on the 7th. The Nasdaq declined steadily throughout the day, weighed down by Nvidia, and the major indices ended in a mixed state.
Today, selling predated the Tokyo stock market. Although the Dow Jones rose in the US stock market yesterday, the decline in the Nasdaq Composite Index, which has a high proportion of high-tech stocks, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX Index), which consists of major semiconductor-related stocks, weighed heavily on high-tech and semiconductor-related stocks in the Tokyo market. Some also refrained from actively buying, hoping to see the outcome of the release of US May employment statistics tonight. On the other hand, the rise in the Dow Jones in the US stock market yesterday supported the stock prices in the Tokyo market. Furthermore, the fact that the US long-term interest rates were relatively stable in overseas markets yesterday also provided a sense of security for the Tokyo market. In addition, it should be noted that the Nikkei average remained above the 25-day moving average of the 38500 yen range, indicating the firmness of the downside of the market, and the Nikkei average turned upward after the opening. In addition, April's household survey, announced before the start of trading, showed that real consumption expenditure for households with two or more persons increased by 0.5% year on year. The median market expectation compiled by QUICK was also a 0.5% increase.

Today's Tokyo stock market opened lower, as selling prevailed. Although the Dow Jones rose in the US stock market yesterday, declines in the Nasdaq Composite Index, which has a high proportion of high-tech stocks, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX Index), which consists of major semiconductor-related stocks, weighed heavily on high-tech and semiconductor-related stocks on the Tokyo market. Additionally, concerns regarding tonight's release of US May employment statistics lead some to withhold their active buying behavior. On the other hand, the rise in the Dow Jones in the US stock market yesterday supported the Tokyo market stock prices. Furthermore, the fact that long-term US interest rates remained relatively stable in the overseas markets yesterday provided a sense of security for the Tokyo market.
