[NY Market Data]

On the 19th, the NY market was mixed. The Dow average ended at $42,342.24, up $15.37, while the Nasdaq finished down 19.93 points at 19,372.77. After the opening, it rose. Following the view that the previous day's sharp drop was excessive due to the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) signaling a slowdown in the pace of additional rate cuts at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), there was a wave of buybacks. The GDP for the July to September period announced in the morning was revised upwards, and a decrease in new unemployment insurance claimants indicated an expansion of economic activity, which led to an increase in long-term interest rates, putting pressure on the market and causing stagnation. Towards the close, selling became predominant, and the Nasdaq turned downward. By sector, consumer services and Technology hardware and equipment rose, while Property Service and development notably declined. The Chicago Nikkei 225 Futures settlement price was ¥39,020, down ¥60 compared to Osaka. In the ADR market, compared to the Tokyo Stock Exchange (calculated at $1 to ¥157.44), Japan Post <6178>, Mitsubishi Corporation <8058>, Honda Motor <7267>, Toyota Industries <6201>, SoftBank Group <9984>, KOMATSU <6301>, and Sumitomo Corporation <8053> rose, leading to a general preference for buying.
