[NY Market Data]

On the 7th, the NY market declined. The Dow average decreased by 178.20 dollars to 42,528.36 dollars, and the Nasdaq ended trading down 375.30 points at 19,489.68. The rise of Semiconductors NVIDIA (NVDA) drove the market up after the opening, but subsequent declines in the company's stock became a burden on the market. Additionally, the JOLT job openings and ISM non-manufacturing index exceeded expectations, leading to concerns about a slowdown in interest rate cuts which contributed to the rise in long-term interest rates, resulting in a turnaround to decline. The market remained weak throughout the day, expanding the drop toward the end of the session. By sector, Energy and Pharmaceutical & Biotech rose, while Semiconductors & Manufacturing Equipment, Autos & Auto Parts fell. The Chicago Nikkei 225 Futures settlement price was 39,735 yen, down 265 yen compared to Osaka's day session. In the ADR market, compared to the Tokyo Stock Exchange (based on an exchange rate of 1 dollar to 158.04 yen), Japan Post Bank <7182>, Renesas <6723>, SMC <6273>, Tokyo Electron <8035>, Advantest <6857>, Japan Post <6178>, and Disco <6146> all fell, indicating a general trend of selling.
