The Dow ended trading at 38,571.03, down 115.29 dollars, while the Nasdaq closed up 93.65 points at 16,828.67. The ISM manufacturing index for May unexpectedly declined, and prices paid also fell, which was bought on expectations of interest rate cuts and rose after the opening. However, the Dow turned to selling throughout the day as concerns about a slowdown in economic growth emerged and remained sluggish. On the other hand, the Nasdaq remained solidly supported by purchases due to the recovery of NVIDIA in the semiconductor industry and the anticipation of lower interest rates, and closed mixed. By sector, semiconductors and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, pharmaceuticals and biotechs rose, while energy declined. The Chicago Nikkei 225 futures settlement value was 38,650 yen, down 290 yen from the Osaka daytime session.

Selling continued due to the retreat of optimistic rate cut expectations, leading to a decline after the opening. Positive economic indicators and an upward revision of the domestic economic growth outlook by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) supported buying on the expectation of a soft landing, leading to a turnaround in the market. Towards the end, the Dow was pressured by selling due to aversion to interest rate hikes, resulting in a slight decline, while the Nasdaq maintained a firm trend in the tech sector expectations, remaining in positive territory and closing mixed. By sector, food, beverages, and tobacco rose, while telecommunication services declined. The Chicago Nikkei 225 futures settlement price was ¥40 lower at ¥38,390 compared to Osaka daytime trading.
