On September 25, the TOPIX Growth Market 250 Index Futures closed at 645 points, down 6 points from the previous trading day. The high was 656 points, the low was 643 points, and the intraday trading volume was 4715 contracts. The Dow Jones in the U.S. market on the previous day, September 24, continued its 4-day winning streak. Following expectations of additional interest rate cuts by the end of the year and China's stimulus measures to boost the world economy, the market opened higher and rose. However, optimism about the economy waned and turned to selling after the September Consumer Confidence Index fell below expectations. Profit-taking sales were observed near the all-time high levels of the Dow, leading to stagnation. The NASDAQ remained resilient with strong buying interest, particularly in semiconductor NVIDIA (NVDA) due to anticipated demand for artificial intelligence (AI), pushing the market up. Towards the end of the day, the Dow also recovered into positive territory, setting new all-time highs for several consecutive days. The TOPIX Growth Market 250 Index Futures today started at 654 points, up 3 points from the previous trading day. Despite opening high in the morning, the overall Japanese stock market faced resistance, and the emerging markets also struggled to maintain buying momentum, resulting in negative territory. With the upcoming announcement of August new home sales in the U.S. tonight, some caution from buyers was observed. Amidst preparations for four new listings tomorrow, the selling pressure at the start of today's listing of ROXX <241A> added to investor sentiment, ending the trading day at 645 points, continuing the decline. Major stocks in the TOPIX Growth Market like GENDA <9166> and Integral <5842> experienced declines.
