[Snuggle Overview]
The Nikkei Average on the 13th continued to rise 49.14 yen to 36882.41 yen, and trading began. The US stock market continued to rise on the 12th the day before. The Dow average closed at 41096.77 dollars, which rose 235.06 dollars, and the Nasdaq closed at 17569.68, which rose 174.15 points. The August Producer Price Index (PPI) exceeded expectations, but views that interest rate reduction trajectory remained unchanged and high technology supported stock prices. Also, when the Wall Street Journal pointed out the possibility of drastic interest rate cuts towards the end, buybacks accelerated in anticipation.
Buying took a slight lead in the Tokyo stock market today. The rise in the three major indices (Dow average, NASDAQ composite index, S&P 500) in the US stock market yesterday supported stock prices in the Tokyo market. Also, after the Nikkei Average continued to fall for 7 days until the day before yesterday, it was a significant increase of over 1200 yen yesterday, which gave the market a sense of security. Furthermore, the presidential election of the Liberal Democratic Party was announced, and in response to the fact that debates for the US presidential election were held in the United States, etc., the policies of leading candidates attracted attention, and there was also a view that motivation to search for related stocks would increase. Meanwhile, the three major indices rose in the US stock market yesterday, but the fall in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Stock Index (SOX Index), which consists of major semiconductor-related stocks, weighed on the stock prices of semiconductor-related stocks in the Tokyo market. Also, the fact that 1 dollar = 141 yen 40 yen was in the foreign exchange market and that the yen appreciated and depreciated by about 1 yen 20 yen compared to around 15:00 yesterday became a factor that deterred buyers from export stocks etc. in the Tokyo market, and after getting close, the Nikkei Average began to decline. Today is the calculation date for the September Special Liquidation Index (SQ) for stock price index futures and options. The SQ value was 36906.92 yen according to the QUICK trial calculation.
