Buying prevailed as the September Chicago Purchasing Managers Index unexpectedly improved, but disappointment arose temporarily as Chairman Powell suggested a slight pace of interest rate cuts. The Nasdaq was discouraged by the rise in long-term interest rates, but the rise of mobile device Apple provided support, leading to a recovery in the final moments pushing the market into positive territory. At the end of the month, in addition to adjustments for the end of the quarter, optimistic views of the economy by the chairman led to buying expectations for a soft landing, with the Dow rising towards the end and setting new all-time highs for consecutive days. By sector, technology hardware & equipment rose while materials declined. The Chicago Nikkei 225 futures settlement price was 38,115 yen, up 185 yen compared to daytime prices in Osaka.
