Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market Index 822.74 -15.34 / Volume 0.1 billion 86.59 million shares / Trading value 111.4 billion yen.

Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market 250 Index 643.88 -12.70 / Volume 0.1 billion 8.73 million shares / Trading value 90.7 billion yen.

Today's Growth Market, both the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market Index and the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market 250 Index, experienced a significant decline. The number of rising stocks was 118, falling stocks 441, and unchanged stocks 23.

The U.S. stock market was mixed on the 5th. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 40,755.75, down 219.22 points (-0.54%), the Nasdaq rose 43.36 points (+0.25%) to 17,127.66, and the S&P 500 closed at 5,503.41, down 16.66 points (-0.30%). The sell-off was driven by unexpectedly weak August ADP employment statistics, raising concerns about the labor market and economic slowdown. However, the market recovered as the August ISM non-manufacturing index unexpectedly improved, easing concerns about a slowdown in the economy. Nevertheless, profit-taking sales were driven by caution ahead of the U.S. employment report scheduled for release on the 6th, leading to a further decline in the Dow and widening losses. The Nasdaq, supported by a rebound in semiconductor maker Nvidia, rose slightly, ending mixed.

Similar to the main board market, the growth market also started with a buying preference, but after an initial buying spree, the Growth Market 250 Index plunged into the negative zone. Amid restrained trading activity ahead of U.S. employment statistics, leading stocks such as Integral <5842> and Lawyer.com<6027> expanded their declines. The difficult market conditions led to selective buying of low-priced stocks with two-digit stock prices.

Individually, Integral, Lawyer.com, iSpace<9348>, Cover<5253>, and Tiemy<215A> were collectively sold, and top-market cap stocks like Cube<7112> and Amefutaiyo<5616>, as well as Solegia Pharma<4597> and DWTI<4576>, featuring double-digit stock price declines, ranked high on the list of underperforming stocks.

On the other hand, Fruitafuruta<2586> and Environmentally Friendly HD<3777> were purchased, while in the higher market cap category, TKP<3479>, Adventure<6030>, and Trial HD<141A> rose. Space Market<4487>, Mercury<5025>, and Tsubota Lab<4890> ranked high on the list of stocks with rising prices.

In addition, stocks included in the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market Core Index such as Lawyer.com, iSpace, Cover, Free<4478>, and BASE<4477> were sold.
