[NY Market Data]

The NY market on the 17th was mixed. The Dow average fell 15.90 dollars to 41,606.18 dollars, and the NASDAQ closed at 17,628.06, which was 35.93 points higher. It rose after falling close to expectations of interest rate cuts due to the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. After that, market growth was sluggish due to a sense of caution and adjustments ahead of the FOMC. Profit-taking sales of the Dow from near record highs were also seen, and it began to decline. The NASDAQ remained solid, supported by weak interest rates, and ended in mixed circumstances. By sector, energy and transportation rose, while telecommunications services declined. The Chicago Nikkei 225 futures settlement value is 36,410 yen, which is 400 yen higher than the Osaka daytime.
