The number of gains and falls of the Nikkei Average constituent stocks as of closing 13 days ago was 55 stocks with price increases and 168 stocks with price drops unchanged.

The Nikkei Average fell. The forward transaction was closed at 36507.10 yen (estimated volume 1 billion 20 million shares), which was 326.17 yen lower (-0.89%) compared to the previous day.

The US stock market continued to rise on the 12th. The Dow average closed at 41096.77 dollars, which was 235.06 dollars higher (+ 0.58%), the NASDAQ was 17569.68, 174.15 points higher (+ 1.00%), and the S&P 500 closed at 5595.76, which was 41.63 points higher (+ 0.75%). The August producer price index (PPI) exceeded expectations, but there is a view that the interest rate reduction trajectory has not changed, and semiconductors such as NVIDIA were strong, and after getting close, they rose. At the same time, sales that were disappointed with the moderate pace of interest rate cuts were also seen, and it turned to a temporary decline, but the market remained steady, supported by high technology. Towards the end, when the Wall Street Journal pointed out the possibility of drastic interest rate cuts, buybacks accelerated with a sense of expectation, and continued to grow drastically until the end, and ended.

Although US stocks rose, the depreciation of the yen became heavy, and the Tokyo market started to move slightly. After the close, the Nikkei Average continued to struggle at the 36800 yen level, but as the appreciation of the yen accelerated, such as the exchange rate entering the 140 yen range of 1 dollar, the Nikkei Average became soft. Note that the special settlement index (SQ) value for 9-month options and futures calculated by donation is 36906.92 yen in preliminary figures. Since the Nikkei Average did not rise during trading hours, it is a “phantom SQ” at the time of closing ahead of time.

Among the stocks adopted by the Nikkei Average, in addition to not even having the Konami Group ＜9766＞, Nexon ＜3659＞, CyberAge ＜4751＞, etc., export-related brands such as NEC ＜6701＞, Canon ＜7751＞, Murata Seisakusho (6981), Toyota's own ＜7203＞, and Nidec ＜6594＞ were sold due to disgust with the progress of yen appreciation. In addition, Astellas Pharma (4503), Ajinomoto (2802), Shionogi Pharmaceutical (4507), Otsuka Holdings (4578), etc. declined.

Meanwhile, Kawasaki Shigeru ＜7012＞ was bought based on the fact that American securities recommended a new purchase, and Isetan Mitsukoshi HD ＜3099＞ was also bought in response to positive reports from securities companies. Also, semiconductor stocks such as Socionext ＜6526＞ and Advantest ＜6857＞ are firmly on the rise in the NASDAQ. In addition, Ebara Seisakusho (6361), Shiseido (4911), Kuraray (3405), Disco (6146), AEON (8267), etc. were purchased.

By industry, while rubber products, insurance, electric/gas, transportation equipment, pharmaceuticals, etc. declined, only the four sectors of shipping, steel, mining, and machinery rose.

The top contributor to price drops became Fast Rette ＜9983＞, which pushed down the Nikkei Average by about 49 yen with 1 stock. The same 2nd place was SoftBank G ＜9984＞, followed by Konami G ＜9766＞, TDK ＜6762＞, Recruit HD ＜6098＞, Chugai Pharmaceutical ＜4519＞, Astellas Pharma ＜4503＞, etc.

Meanwhile, the top contributor to price increases became Advantest ＜6857＞, which boosted the Nikkei Average by about 8 yen with 1 stock. Isetan Mitsukoshi ＜3099＞ came in the same 2nd place, followed by Daikin ＜6367＞, Disco ＜6146＞, Shiseido ＜4911＞, Daiichi Sankyo ＜4568＞, Ebara ＜6361＞, etc.
