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.

Due to the observation that trading related to the June futures/options special clearing index (SQ) calculation led to a slight tilt towards selling in the midst of mixed US stock prices, the Tokyo market began trading with a bias towards selling. After the opening, the Nikkei average narrowed its losses and entered a stalemate at the previous day's closing level. When the results of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy meeting were reported during lunchtime, the exchange rate depreciated against the yen, and the yield on the new issue 10-year government bond--an indicator of long-term interest rates--fell to 0.915%. Although the Nikkei average briefly surpassed the 39,000 yen mark in the afternoon, the weight of resistance at higher levels did not change, and the buying did not continue. The SQ value calculated in the morning was 38,535.35 yen (flash estimate), and it became a "phantom SQ value" that never fell below that level.

The closing Nikkei average was 38,814.56 yen, up 94.09 yen or 0.24% from the previous day. The volume of transactions on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market was 2.15662 billion shares, with a transaction value of 5.3191 trillion yen. Among the industries, marine transportation, petroleum and coal products, wholesale trade, real estate, and construction industries rose, while only four sectors--pharmaceuticals, banks, insurance, and transportation equipment--fell. The ratio of advancing stocks to declining stocks on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market is 86% to 12%.

The top contributor to the rise was SoftBank Group Inc. <9984>, which pushed up the Nikkei average by about 64 yen with one stock. The second was TDK Corporation <6762>, followed by Disco Corporation <6146>, Nidec Corporation <6594>, Nexon Co., Ltd. <3659>, Fujikura Ltd. <5803>, and Toyota Tsusho Corporation <8015> with similar contributions.
