The US stock market rose on July 31. The Dow average closed at 40842.79 dollars (+ 0.24%), the NASDAQ was 451.98 points higher (+ 2.64%) at 17599.40, and the S&P 500 closed at 5522.30, which was 85.86 points higher (+ 1.58%). Ahead of the announcement of the results of the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), it was mixed up after getting close. After that, buying, which was favored by the good financial results of major high-tech companies, led the way, and the market remained steady throughout the day. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) left policy interest rates unchanged as expected in the FOMC, but at the subsequent press conference, the market continued to grow and ended with a sense of expectation that Chairman Powell would suggest the possibility of interest rate cuts in September.

Although US stocks rose, the Tokyo market began trading with a selling advantage since the exchange rate rose to the 149 yen level and the appreciation of the yen and depreciation of the dollar accelerated. After the Nikkei Average was donated 38781.56 yen, the fact that the exchange rate entered the 1 dollar 148 yen range also had an effect, and the decline intensified, and it plummeted to 37737.88 yen, which is approaching the low on 7/26. In response to the sharp drop in the Nikkei Average, the Nikkei Average VI temporarily rose to the 23 point range. The trading price on the Prime Market has risen to 3.2 trillion yen.

In addition to this, bank stocks such as Resona Holdings ＜8308＞, Fukuoka Financial G ＜8354＞, Concordia Financial ＜7186＞, and Shizuoka Financial Group ＜5831＞ are solid.
