Buying led the Tokyo stock market today. While there was a lack of clues as the US stock market was closed yesterday, the rise in major European equity indices supported Tokyo market stocks. It was also thought that the bullish view of Japanese stocks was further strengthened by the Tokyo Stock Price Index (TOPIX) setting a new record high, surpassing the high during the bubble period. On the other hand, the Nikkei Average has risen more than 1,500 yen for the past five days, making it susceptible to short-term profit-taking selling. In addition, there were those who refrained from active buying in anticipation of tonight's announcement of the June US employment statistics, but buying was dominant at the opening stage. It should be noted that the May household survey, which was released before the start of trading, showed that the real consumption expenditure of households with two or more persons decreased by 1.8% compared to the same month of the previous year. The median market estimate compiled by QUICK was an increase of 0.1%.
By sector, oil and coal products, mining, pharmaceuticals, real estate, rubber products, and others were among the top gainers, while marine transportation, insurance, transportation equipment, iron and steel, glass and ceramics products, and others were among the top decliners.
