The previous day, on September 17, the Dow Jones Industrial Average in the USA market fell slightly. Following the opening with expectations of a rate cut at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, it rose. However, there was caution and adjustment ahead of the FOMC, causing the market to struggle. Profit-taking sales near the all-time high of the Dow were also observed, leading to a decline. The Nasdaq was supported by a relaxed view on interest rate cuts, and it performed steadily, closing with mixed results. Today's TOPIX Growth Market 250 index futures started at 642 points, 11 points higher than the previous trading day. Although it started high in the morning, the lack of direction gradually reduced the margin of increase. With the upcoming press conference by Powell, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), in the USA tonight, as well as the Bank of Japan's Monetary Policy Meeting tomorrow, the buying interest did not increase, and the market moved sluggishly. In the afternoon, there were observations of buybacks due to adjustments by sellers, which strengthened the market towards the close, ending the trading at 632 points, a rebound after 3 days. In the main stocks of the TOPIX Growth Market, BUYSELL<7685> and Qualipus<4894> rose.
