On the 24th, the US stock market was mixed. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 260.88 points (+0.67%) to 39,411.21, while the Nasdaq fell by 192.54 points (-1.09%) to 17,496.82, and the S&P 500 fell by 16.75 points (-0.31%) to 5,447.87. There wasn't much news, and the opening was mixed. The Dow was supported by buying in economically sensitive stocks and underperforming stocks, such as banks and energy stocks. The Nasdaq fell again last week, as semiconductor stocks like Nvidia were sold.

Due to the mixed results of the US stock market, the Tokyo market started trading with little movement. After the opening, semiconductor-related stocks weakened due to the fall of US high-tech stocks. However, financial stocks rose due to the new 10-year national bond yield, which is an indicator of long-term interest rates, rising to 0.995%. TOPIX showed a strong movement relatively, as large market capitalization stocks were bought, and the Nikkei also rose gradually and recovered to the 39000 yen level.

Among the stocks listed in the Nikkei Average, non-life insurance stocks such as MS&AD (8725), SOMPO Holdings (8630), and Tokio Marine Holdings (8766) rose due to the decision to raise auto insurance premiums. Financial stocks such as Rissho Holdings (8308), Concordia Financial Group (7186), Fukuoka Financial Group (8354), and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (8316) were generally bought due to the rise in long-term interest rates. Toyota Motor (7203), IHI (7013), and Hitachi (6501) also rose.

On the other hand, semiconductor stocks such as Laser Tech (6920), Tokyo Electron (8035), Renesas Electronics (6723), and Screen HD (7735) fell due to the decline of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Stock Index (SOX Index) and Nasdaq. Apple-related stocks such as Murata Manufacturing (6981), Alps Alpine (6770), TDK (6762), and Taiyo Yuden (6976) were also generally down.

In terms of industry, banking, insurance, securities and commodity futures trading, transportation equipment, and mining rose, while only pulp and paper fell.

The top contributors to the rise were Toyota <7203>, which pushed up the Nikkei average by about 19 yen with 1 stock. The second was Chugai Pharmaceutical <4519>, followed by Shin-Etsu Chemical <4063>, Daiichi Sankyo <4568>, Fast Retailing <9983>, Recruit Holdings <6098>, and Toyota Tsusho <8015>, respectively.
