As of the close three days ago, the number of rising and falling stocks in the Nikkei Average was 195 rising, 29 falling, and 1 unchanged.
The Nikkei Average saw a significant rise, finishing the morning session at 39,180.06 yen, up 667.04 yen (+1.73%) compared to the previous day (estimated volume 1 billion 40 million shares).
On the 2nd, the US stock market was mixed. The Dow was down 128.65 points at 44,782.00 dollars, while the Nasdaq closed up 185.78 points at 19,403.95. This week, adjustments intensified ahead of the important economic indicators such as employment statistics, resulting in mixed trading after the opening. Concerns about rising long-term interest rates, geopolitical risks in the Middle East, and the risk of the French cabinet facing a vote of no confidence led to a soft overall performance of the Dow. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq was supported by technology stocks and maintained a solid performance, updating its past high. The market ended mixed.
Although the US market was mixed, the Tokyo market opened with a bias towards buying due to the rise in technology stocks. The Nikkei Average steadily expanded its gains from the opening bell, recovering to the 39,000-yen range during trading hours for the first time since November 25. Since high-priced semiconductor stocks like tokyo electron ltd. unsponsored adr and advantest were bought, the Nikkei Average was stronger than the TOPIX, and trading volume in the main board market increased to 2.5 trillion yen.
In the stocks adopted by the Nikkei Average, in addition to tokyo electron ltd. unsponsored adr and advantest, semiconductor stocks such as disco, lasertech, and screen hd were also purchased, along with some defense-related stocks like kawasaki heavy and mitsubishi electric corp. unsponsored adr that rose. Additionally, stocks such as kawasaki kisen, fujikura, okuma, softbank group co, and nidec corporation sponsored adr were also bought.
On the other hand, although there was no significant movement in the exchange rate, which stood at 149 yen per dollar, stocks benefiting from the yen's strength like nichirei, nissui, nisshin flour g, japan airlines, and ana holdings did not perform well. In addition, stocks like sumitomo pharma, socionext, zozo, comsys hd, and japan exchange group declined.
By sector, marine shipping, nonferrous metals, electric appliances, precision instruments, and metal products increased, while only the electricity & gas and air transport sectors declined.
The top contributors to the rise were tokyo electron ltd. unsponsored adr, which pushed the Nikkei Average up by about 93 points alone. The second was fast retailing, followed by advandest, softbank group co, shinetsu chemicals, disco, and chugai pharma.
On the other hand, the top contributor to the decline was secom co <9735>, which pushed the Nikkei average down by about 1 yen with just one stock. The second was trend <4704>, followed by ZOZO <3092>, 7&iHD <3382>, socionext <6526>, NRI <4307>, nichirei <2871>, etc.
