Retail sales, which exceeded expectations, rose after being attracted to favorable purchases. In addition to expectations for growth and consumption, the Dow continued to increase drastically, led by the rise in United Health, and remained strong throughout the day. The NASDAQ was driven by rotation-related sales and turned into a temporary decline, but recovered to the positive zone towards the end of the game. The Dow hit a record high every day and ended.

The dollar and yen rose from 158 yen 26 yen to 158 yen 86 yen in the New York foreign exchange market on the 16th, and closed at 158 yen 38 yen. Since US June retail sales exceeded expectations, dollar buying became dominant due to speculation that interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed) would be postponed. The euro dollar rose to 1.0905 dollars, then fell to 1.0872 dollars and closed at 1.0901 dollars. The euro yen fell to 172 yen 47 yen after containing just over 172 yen 80 yen.
