At the closing of the 27th, the number of rising stocks of Nikkei average constituent stocks was 87, falling stocks were 136, and unchanged stocks were 2. Due to the rebound from the sharp rise the previous day, the Tokyo market opened with selling pressure. Financial stocks were bought because the yield on the newly issued 10-year government bonds, which is an indicator of long-term interest rates, rose to 1.080% at one point, but the market fell mainly in high-tech stocks. Due to the impact of dividend cuts for companies with settlement of accounts in June or December, the Nikkei average fell by about 1% compared to the previous day, but stopped falling at 39,200 yen, a resistance level from May to June. At the closing, the Nikkei average was 39,341.54 yen, down 325.53 yen (-0.82%) from the previous day. The trading volume of the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market was 1.62759 billion shares, and the trading value was 3.9859 trillion yen. In terms of industry, mining, rubber products, securities and commodity futures trade, food and wholesale trade traded fell, while insurance, iron and steel, pulp and paper, banking, and construction rose. The ratio of rising stocks to falling stocks on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market is 54% for the former and 41% for the latter. The top contributors to the decline were Toshiba Elex <8035>, which pushed down the Nikkei average by about 83 yen, followed by First Rite <9983>.

The US stock market rose on the 26th. The Dow Jones average rose 15.64 dollars (+0.04%) to 39127.80, the NASDAQ index rose 87.50 points (+0.49%) to 17805.16, and the S&P 500 rose 8.60 points (+0.16%) to close at 5477.90. As long-term interest rates rose, the opening fell. Federal Reserve Board (FRB) officials on the previous day showed a reluctance to rush to lower interest rates, which reduced expectations of a rate cut. Against the backdrop of growing caution ahead of the release of the PCE price index, which the FRB emphasizes, High-tech stocks remained strong and supported the market.

The Tokyo market opened with selling pressure due to factors such as the backlash from the previous day's sharp rise. Although financial stocks were bought after the yield on newly issued 10-year government bonds, which is an indicator of long-term interest rates, rose to 1.080% at one point, the market mainly fell in high-tech stocks. The impact of dividend cuts for companies with settlement of accounts in June or December, was seen as one factor behind the Nikkei average falling by about 1% compared to the previous day. However, the average stopped falling around its resistance level from May to June, which is at 39,200 yen.

At the close, the Nikkei average was 39,341.54 yen, down 325.53 yen (-0.82%) from the previous day. The trading volume of the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market was 1.62759 billion shares, and the trading value was 3.9859 trillion yen. In terms of industry, mining, rubber products, securities and commodity futures trade, food and wholesale trade traded fell, while insurance, iron and steel, pulp and paper, banking, and construction rose.

The top contributor to the decline was Toshiba Elex <8035>, which pushed down the Nikkei average by about 83 yen. First Rite <9983> was the second highest contributor, followed by Daikin <6367>, Daiichi Sankyo <4568>, Screen HD <7735>, Disco <6146>, and Laser Tech <6920>.

The top contributor to the rise was SoftBank Group <9984>, which pushed up the Nikkei average by about 7 yen. Sony Group Corp <6758> was the second highest contributor, followed by TDK <6762>, Hitachi Ltd sponsored ADR <6501>, Advantest <6857>, Taiyo Yuden <6976>, and Terumo <4543>.
