The U.S. stock market continued to rise on the 9th. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 42,512.00, up $431.63, while the Nasdaq closed at 18,291.62, up 108.70 points. After opening with a retreat due to diminishing expectations of a swift Fed rate cut, following a decline, market sentiment turned positive on expectations that China's government fiscal stimulus aimed at reviving the economy would support global economic recovery and corporate sales. It was revealed in the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in September released by the Federal Reserve that all participants agreed to continue lowering interest rates, leading to an expansion of gains towards the end. The Dow reached a record high and closed at the highest level.

Following the strong movement of U.S. stocks, the Tokyo market started trading in a buying trend. The Nikkei average rose to the 39,600 yen level before a volatile Chinese stock market prompted caution, causing the market to pause. Tonight's release of the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September is also being watched, leading to a cautious upward trend. Trading volume on the prime market has fallen below 4 trillion yen for the second consecutive day, signaling a wait-and-see stance prevailing.

The Nikkei average at the close was 39,380.89 yen, up 102.93 yen from the previous day (+0.26%). The trading volume on the TSE Prime market was 1,506,750,000 shares. The trading value was 3.5288 trillion yen. By industry type, rubber products, insurance, banking, pharmaceuticals, transportation equipment, etc., rose, while retail trade, services, textiles & apparels, other products, petroleum & coal products fell.
