On October 22, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market 250 index futures closed 13 points lower than the previous trading day at 608 points. The high was 620 points, the low was 602 points, and the intraday trading volume was 4093 lots. The Dow Jones Industrial Average in the US market on the previous day, October 21, fell. The Dow was weighed down by selling pressure and profit-taking triggered by worsening than expected in the leading economic indicators for September, leading to a soft tone throughout the day and an expanded decline towards the end. The Nasdaq was supported by the rise of semiconductor company Nvidia (NVDA) and mobile device company Apple (AAPL), managing to barely recover into positive territory. The Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market 250 index futures today started at 620 points, 1 point lower than the previous trading day. After a slightly lower start, prices quickly declined, widening the losses. Reports of some US lawmakers urging Japan to strengthen export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China and the increasing momentum of the ruling party falling below the majority in the House of Representatives election on October 27 led to a wave of selling in emerging markets. On the other hand, the upper limit of the leading span (cloud) of the daily Ichimoku Cloud is being seen as a lower support, so there were observations of buyers stepping in on significant selling moments, leading to a reduction in losses towards the end, closing the session with a decline to 608 points. Leading stocks in the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market such as Free <4478> and Integral <5842> saw declines.
