[Snuggle Overview]

The Nikkei Average on the 19th rebounded to 38396.72 yen, which rose 175.87 yen, and trading began. The US stock market the day before, on the 18th, was mixed. The Dow average closed at 43389.60 dollars, down 55.39 dollars, and the NASDAQ closed at 18791.81, which was 111.69 points higher. After being close to each other due to lack of materials, things were mixed up. The unexpected improvement in the November NAHB housing market index and deep-seated growth expectations supported it, but the Dow was driven by profit-taking sales and remained soft throughout the day. The Nasdaq rose supported by electric vehicle manufacturers, rising Tesla (TSLA), falling long-term interest rates, and purchases expecting financial results from semiconductor NVIDIA (NVDA). The main indices ended with mixed results.

Buying took precedence in the Tokyo stock market today. The Dow average fell slightly in the US stock market yesterday, but the rise in the Nasdaq Composite Index, which has a high high-tech stock ratio, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Stock Index (SOX Index), which consists of major semiconductor-related stocks, supported the stock prices of high-tech stocks and semiconductor-related stocks in the Tokyo market. Also, since the Nikkei Average fell by more than 400 yen yesterday, and since it has fallen by more than 1300 yen since the 12th of last week, it was easy for purchases aimed at an autonomous backlash or waiting to be pushed in. Meanwhile, the fact that the Dow average continued to fall for 3 days in the US stock market yesterday weighed on the stock price in the Tokyo market. Also, there was a tendency to forego aggressive purchases in order to determine financial results for the fiscal year ending 8/10 of US semiconductor NVIDIA, which will be announced before dawn on the 21st Japan time, but purchases prevailed during the donation stage.
