At the closing of the 12th, the number of rising stocks among the Nikkei average constituent stocks was 65, the number of declining stocks was 159, and the number of unchanged stocks was 1.
On August 11, the US stock market was mixed. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 39,753.75, up 32.39 points (+0.08%). The Nasdaq fell 364.04 points (-1.95%) to 18,283.41, and the S&P 500 fell 49.37 points (-0.88%) to 5,584.54. The June Consumer Price Index (CPI) was evidence of inflation slowing down, boosting expectations of interest rate cuts. The Dow remained strong throughout the day due to the recovery of interest-rate-sensitive real estate and other sectors, but the Nasdaq was hit by profit-taking sales that led to a significant decline in the latter part of the day due to rotation and exhaustion of materials near its all-time high. The market closed mixed.
Against the backdrop of the Nasdaq's sharp drop and the yen's appreciation, the Tokyo market started trading with a selling bias. The Nikkei average extended its losses due to sharp falls in semiconductor stocks and the selling of 225 futures in the futures market. While more than 60% of Prime Market stocks rose, the weakness of the Nikkei average, which had been rising at a faster pace, stood out, resulting in a drop of over 1,000 yen, the largest since February 26, 2021 (-1,202.26 yen). The July option special liquidation index (SQ flash report value) calculated at the opening was 41,531.26 yen.
At the end of the day, the Nikkei average fell by 1,033.34 yen (-2.45%) from the previous day to 41,190.68 yen. The trading volume on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market was 1,832.55 million shares, with a turnover of 5 trillion, 236.9 billion yen. Insurance, electric appliances, marine transportation, nonferrous metals, banks and other industries fell, while real estate, fisheries and agriculture, services, construction, textile products, and other industries rose. As for the price movements of Prime Market stocks, 62% of stocks rose while 34% fell. In the Nikkei average-adopted stocks, semiconductor stocks such as Disco <6146>, Tokyo Electron <8035>, Advantest <6857>, Renesas Electronics <6723>, and Softbank Group <9984> fell sharply due to the significant decline in the Nasdaq, as well as First Retailing <9983> and Seven & I Holdings <3382>, which announced earnings, which also fell sharply. In addition, the decline in insurance stocks such as T&D Holdings <8795>, Tokyo Marine Holdings <8766>, and Dai-ichi Life Holdings <8750> was also conspicuous due to the decline in interest rates. On the other hand, real estate stocks such as Sumitomo Realty <8830>, Mitsui Fudosan <8801>, Mitsubishi Estate <8802>, and Tokyu Land Holdings <3289> rose on the material of the decline in interest rates, and Takara Holdings <1928> and Daiwa House Industry <1925> were also purchased. Nitori Holdings <9843>, Nitto Co. <2871>, and Nissui <1332> also rose as yen-benefitting stocks, and Omron <6645>, Yaskawa Electric <6506>, and Okuma <6103> were also purchased.
The top contributor to the decline was Tokyo Electron <8035>, which pushed down the Nikkei average by about 230 yen with one stock. The second was Fast Retailing <9983>, followed by SoftBank G <9984>, Advantest <6857>, Disco <6146>, TDK <6762>, Fanuc <6954>, and others.
On the other hand, the top contributor to the rise was Nitori Holdings <9843>, which pushed up the Nikkei average by about 12 yen with one stock. The second was Sumitomo Realty & Development <8830>, followed by Recruit Holdings <6098>, Mitsui Fudosan <8801>, Bandai Namco Holdings <7832>, Omron <6645>, and Yaskawa Electric <6506>.
