Today's Growth Market, both the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market Index and the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market 250 Index continued to fall. The number of rising stocks was 279, the number of declining stocks was 252, and the number of unchanged stocks was 44.

On the 17th, the US stock market rose. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 188.94 points (+0.49%) to 38,778.10, Nasdaq rose by 168.14 points (+0.95%) to 17,857.02, and the S&P 500 rose by 41.63 points (+0.77%) to 5,473.23 at the end of trading. After cautious moves due to concerns about the French political situation and the Federal Reserve Board's rate cut, the market fell after the start of trading. Then it turned to buying in anticipation of a soft landing, and the market was strong throughout the day. Towards the end, the gains expanded, and Nasdaq ended up updating its record high for consecutive days.

Supported by the rise of U.S. stocks, the Growth Market started trading with a slight buying preference. Both the Growth Market Index and the Growth Market 250 Index were in positive territory compared to the previous day, but both indexes shifted to negative territory due to weakened performance of SanBio <4592>, Oncology Science <4564>, and Qualiphi <4894>, which had been rising up to that point.

Short-term funding was flowing into the above-mentioned biotechnology-related stocks, and oncology Bio Pharma <4588> hit the limit-down. Among the top market cap stocks, Seaus Sea <9158>, Genda <9166>, and Free <4478> fell. Among the top declining stocks were Npc <6255> and Aiz <5242>.

Meanwhile, Inforich <9338>, which announced the expansion of 'ChargeSPOT' installations in Lawson stores, was bought along with Cocopelli <4167>, which announced a DX support platform with overseas companies. MacbeeP <7095>, Life Net Life <7157>, and Sunwells <9229> were purchased among the top market cap stocks. Gii Shi Planning <4073> and Linkval <6046> were ranked among the top rising stocks.

Integroup <192A>, which was newly listed today, opened at 5,940 yen, 50.0% higher than the offering price.

In the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market Core Index, WealthNavi <7342> and JTower <4485> were bought in addition to MacbeeP, Life Net Life, and Sunwells.
