On the 8th, the US stock market was relatively flat. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded for the first time in three trading days. However, due to the mixed nature of the US employment indicators released on that day, there was no clear direction. Some voices mentioned a wait-and-see mood ahead of the December US employment data over the weekend. The S&P 500 index rebounded, while the Nasdaq Composite Index continued to decline at the close.
Following the mixed results of employment-related indicators, the market was flat after the opening. With December 9th being a national day of mourning for former President Carter and the stock market closed, and ahead of the upcoming employment data release this weekend, adjustment selling took the lead. Furthermore, selling pressure accompanied by the rise in long-term interest rates led to a downturn. The Federal Reserve Board (FRB) revealed the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting (December session), in which participants indicated a continued robust growth, helping the market stabilize. Towards the end, the Dow recovered into positive territory, while the Nasdaq saw a slight decline, ending the day mixed.
On the 9th, the Tokyo stock market experienced a mix of buying and selling, with a lack of clear direction, and the Nikkei Stock Average may see fluctuation around the previous day's closing price with uncertain trends.
