Japanese stocks of ADR (American Depositary Receipt) rose compared to the Tokyo Stock Exchange (calculated at 156.15 yen to 1 dollar), including Japan Post <6178>, Tokyo Electron <8035>, Toyota Automatic Loom Works <6201>, Honda Motor <7267>, Mitsui & Co <8031>, Disco <6146>, SoftBank Group <9984>, etc. Meanwhile, Japan Post Bank <7182>, Seven & I Holdings <3382>, Mitsubishi Corporation <8058>, Nidec Corporation <6594>, Kddi Corporation <9433>, JAPAN TOBACCO INC <2914>, MS&AD Insurance Group Holdings <8725>, etc. saw a decline. Overall, there was a slight buying advantage. The settlement price for the Chicago Nikkei 225 futures was 38,885 yen, up 175 yen compared to the Osaka day session.
The US stock market rose. The Dow Jones average closed up 498.02 dollars at 42,840.26 dollars, while Nasdaq finished trading up 199.83 points at 19,572.60. Although there was initial selling pressure in some tech stocks leading to a decline at the opening, the November Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index hinted at progress in inflation control, supporting the rally. The Dow Jones saw a momentary rise of over 800 dollars compared to the previous day, but today coincided with 'triple witching,' where the expiration dates of stock index futures, stock index options, and individual stock options overlapped, leading to adjustment selling. Furthermore, the possibility of a government shutdown weighed on investor sentiment, causing the market to struggle in the afternoon.
On the 20th in New York's foreign exchange market, the dollar-yen pair fell from 156.80 yen to 155.96 yen, closing at 156.37 yen. Contrary to expectations, the US November core PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditure) price index remained at the same level as the previous month, with personal income and consumption also falling short of forecasts. Additionally, the final value of the December Michigan University Consumer Sentiment Index was not revised upward, while the one-year expected inflation rate was revised downward, resulting in lower interest rates and a dollar sell-off. After the announcement of indicators, there seemed to be ongoing dollar selling for position adjustments. The euro-dollar rose from 1.0386 dollars to 1.0448 dollars, closing at 1.0429 dollars.
On the 20th, the February NY crude oil futures rose slightly (NYMEX crude oil February contract closing price: 69.46 ↑0.08).
