The Nikkei average fell for the third day. At the end of the morning trading session, it was down 11.45 yen (-0.03%) from the previous day to 38,709.02 yen (with volume of approximately 1.25 billion shares traded). Product structure, 10-30 billion yuan products operating income of 401/1288/60 million yuan respectively.

On the 13th, the US stock market was mixed. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 65.11 points (-0.17%) to 38,647.10, while the NASDAQ rose 59.12 points (+0.34%) to 17,667.56, and the S&P 500 rose 12.71 points (+0.23%) to 5,433.74 at the end of trading. The direction of interest rate cuts was uncertain and the market was mixed after opening. Concerns about a slowdown in the economy have also arisen as the number of new applications for unemployment benefits has increased, causing the Dow to fall sharply. The NASDAQ remained firm throughout the day, boosted by buying of the semiconductor sector in response to Broadcom's strong earnings report, and continued to hit record highs for several days in a row. The Dow narrowed its losses towards the end, but could not erase its losses and ended mixed.

Amid concerns that trading related to the calculation of the June futures and options special settlement index (SQ) was tilted towards selling, the Tokyo market opened with a selling bias. Although there were some attempts to rebound after the opening, aggressive trading was restrained due to the upcoming announcement of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy meeting, and buying did not continue. The SQ value calculated in the morning was 38,535.35 yen (provisional value), and became a "phantom" SQ value that did not fall even once at the end of the morning session.

In the selection of Nikkei average stocks, declines in automobile-related stocks such as Toyota Motor <7203>, Subaru <7270>, Suzuki <7269>, and Isuzu Motors <7202> were conspicuous, and the pharmaceutical sector, including Daiichi Sankyo <4568> and Eisai <4523>, continued to be dominated by selling. In addition, HOYA <7741> and SUMCO <3436> were also sold off.

On the other hand, marine transportation stocks such as Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha <9107>, Mitsui OSK Lines <9104>, and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha <9101> all rebounded, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries <7011>, Fujikura <5803>, and Nidec <6594> were also dominated by buying. In addition, while the semiconductor sector was mixed, SoftBank Group <9984> and Renesas Electronics <6723> were bought.

Among sectors, only the four sectors of pharmaceuticals, transportation equipment, precision equipment, and insurance industry declined, while marine transportation industry, electric and gas industry, wholesale trade, construction industry, pulp and paper industry, etc. rose.

At 11:45 am Tokyo time, the outcome of the Bank of Japan meeting had not yet been announced, but the market's attention was turning to the press conference by Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda, which is scheduled to take place after the market close at 3:30 pm. Therefore, if the outcome of the Bank of Japan meeting is limited to a decrease in the expected amount of government bond purchases, the market will likely remain in a strong wait-and-see mood for the afternoon. On the other hand, if there is a positive statement regarding additional interest rate hikes, financial stocks could gain momentum due to rising interest rates, but the yen could rise and export-related stocks could decline. If the results are unexpected, the Nikkei average is likely to widen its losses.
