[Nikkei Stock Average and TOPIX (Table)]
The Nikkei average was 40,225.83, up 151.14. The TOPIX was 2860.99, up 4.37. On the third day, the Nikkei average rose for the fourth consecutive day to 40,225.83, up 151.14 yen. The previous day's US stock market continued to rise. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 39,331.85, up 162.33 dollars, and the Nasdaq index closed at 18,028.76, up 149.46 points. As the weekend approached and investors were cautious about the upcoming release of June employment statistics, profit-taking sales triggered a drop in stock prices at the opening. Long-term interest rates fell after Federal Reserve Chairman Powell pointed out that inflation was slowing down again, providing support for the market, as did major high-tech stocks, such as Amazon and Apple.
Buying dominated the Tokyo stock market today. The rising main indices in the US stock market yesterday supported the prices of the Tokyo market. In addition, the yen exchange rate has been stable at a yen-weakening and dollar-strengthening level, with one dollar equal to 161.40 yen. This also gave investors a sense of security. Furthermore, yesterday's Nikkei average regained the milestone of 40,000 yen for the first time in about three months and closed, leading to an upward trend in the market. On the other hand, the Nikkei average had risen for three consecutive days until yesterday, gaining over 700 yen, making profit-taking selling likely. This week, the US stock market will have a shortened trading day on the third and will be closed on the fourth, and before the release of June's US employment statistics on the weekend, multiple employment and labor-related indicators will be released in the United States. Therefore, some investors chose to wait and see, leading to a cautious buying approach. In terms of sectors, securities futures, machinery, other financial businesses, glass and ceramics products, and chemicals were among the top gainers in terms of gain ratios, while oil and coal products, mining, wholesale trade, pulp and paper, insurance, and others were among the top decliners. Taiyo Yuden <6976>, Murata Manufacturing <6981>, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries <7011>, IHI <7013>, Kawasaki Heavy Industries <7012>, TDK <6762>, Screen Holdings <7735>, Disco <6146>, First Retailing <9983>, Mitsubishi Electric <6503>, Shin-Etsu Chemical <4063>, Renesas <6723>, and Toto Electric <8035>, and others rose in trade volume for the TSE Prime.
