The Growth Market had a steady development today. The US market on the previous day, October 7, showed a downward trend. Semiconductors' NVIDIA fell, weighing on the market, and with JOLT job openings and ISM non-manufacturing index exceeding financial estimates, a slowdown in rate cuts was anticipated, leading to an increase in long-term interest rates and a shift to decline. The market remained soft throughout the day and expanded its decline towards the end.

Watching the US stock market, where major stock indices fell, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market Index started lower. However, after a flurry of selling, buying activity spread, lifting it back into positive territory. It then fluctuated near the day's high of 826 points, concluding trading at 825.54 points. With US long-term interest rates rising, the Tokyo market saw profit-taking sales following the previous day’s significant gains, leading to lackluster price movements, which might have turned attention to emerging markets.
