日経平均は大幅続落。前日比1864.48円安（－4.89％）の36261.85円（出来高概算15億4000万株）で前場の取引を終えている。

1日の米国株式市場は大幅反落。ダウ平均は494.82ドル安（－1.21％）の40347.97ドル、ナスダックは405.26ポイント安（－2.30％）の17194.14、S&P500は75.62ポイント安（－1.37％）の5446.68で取引を終了した。利下げ期待を受けた買いが続き、寄り付き後、上昇。その後、失業保険申請件数が1年ぶりの高水準に達したほか、ISM製造業景況指数が予想外に低下するなど、急速な景気悪化を警戒した売りが加速し、相場は下落に転じた。主要ハイテク企業決算を控えた警戒感も重しとなり相場は終日軟調に推移し、終盤にかけて下げ幅を拡大し終了。

米国株の下落や為替の円高推移などを受けて、東京市場は売り優勢で取引を開始した。フィラデルフィア半導体株指数（SOX指数）が前日比7％超の大幅安となったことから、半導体株がきつい下げとなり日経平均は37000円台を一気に割り込む展開に。売りが売りを呼ぶ地合いとなり、日経平均の下げ幅は一時2000円を超える場面も見られた。前場のプライム市場の売買代金は3.3兆円と商いは膨らみ、97％が下落する全面安の地合いとなった。

日経平均採用銘柄では、株式市場の地合い悪化が嫌気されて、大和証券グループ本社＜8601＞、野村ホールディングス＜8604＞など証券株がきつい下げとなったほか、スクリーンHD＜7735＞、東京エレクトロン＜8035＞、ソシオネクスト＜6526＞、SUMCO＜3436＞、レーザーテック＜6920＞、アドバンテスト＜6857＞など半導体株も急落。このほか、三越伊勢丹＜3099＞、三井物産＜8031＞、荏原製作所＜6361＞、三井化学＜4183＞、日本製鋼所＜5631＞、三菱重工＜7011＞、三菱UFJ＜8306＞、日立＜6501＞など幅広い銘柄が売られた。

一方、豪州市場などが好調だったことで第1四半期決算が想定以上の大幅増益となった日本ハム＜2282＞が逆行高となったほか、コナミグループ＜9766＞、住友電工＜5802＞、日本製鉄＜5401＞も好業績が材料視されて買われた。このほか、アステラス薬＜4503＞、協和キリン＜4151＞、東京ガス＜9531＞が上昇。なお、日経平均採用銘柄で上昇したのはこれら7銘柄のみ。

全業種が売られたなか、証券・商品先物取引業、保険業、銀行業、電気機器、鉱業の下げが目立った。

歴史的な日経平均の急落相場を受けて、日経平均VIは28ポイント台まで急騰しており、投資家マインドは急激に悪化している。今年初めて200日移動平均線を割り込んだことで手じまい売りも入ったようだが、本日も前場で3兆円の売買代金ができていることから下値を買う投資家は存在すると考える。今晩の7月米雇用統計への警戒感は非常に高いことから、日経平均が一気に下げ幅を縮小するような地合いは期待できないが、200日移動平均線が位置する36860円水準辺りの戻りは意識したいところだ。

The Nikkei Average fell significantly. At the end of the morning session, it was down 1,864.48 yen (-4.89%) from the previous day to 36,261.85 yen (with a volume of approximately 1.504 billion shares).

The U.S. stock market fell sharply on the first day. The Dow Jones average fell 494.82 points (-1.21%) to 40,347.97, the Nasdaq fell 405.26 points (-2.30%) to 17,194.14, and the S&P 500 fell 75.62 points (-1.37%) to 5,446.68 at the end of trading. Purchases based on expectations of a rate cut continued and rose after opening. However, fears of a rapid economic downturn arose when unemployment insurance claims reached their highest level in a year and the ISM manufacturing purchasing managers' index unexpectedly fell, causing selling to accelerate and the market to turn down. There was also caution under the weight of major high-tech company earnings to come. The market remained sluggish all day and the decline widened toward the end.

The Tokyo market opened with a dominant selling mood following the decline in U.S. stocks and the appreciation of the yen. Semiconductor stocks dropped sharply, as the Philadelphia Semiconductor Stock Index (SOX) fell more than 7% from the previous day, causing the Nikkei average to fall below 37,000 yen in one go. The downtrend called forth further selling, and at one point, the Nikkei's decline exceeded 2,000 yen. 97% of the Prime market's trading volume in the morning was bearish, and the entire market was depressed. In Nikkei average constituent stocks, securities stocks, including Daiwa Securities Group headquarters <8601> and Nomura Holdings <8604>, fell sharply, as did semiconductor stocks such as Screen HD <7735>, Tokyo Electron <8035>, Socionext <6526>, SUMCO <3436>, Lasertec <6920>, and Advantest <6857>. A wide range of stocks, such as Mitsukoshi Isetan <3099>, Mitsui & Co. <8031>, Ebara Corporation <6361>, Mitsui Chemicals <4183>, Nippon Steel <5631>, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries <7011>, Mitsubishi UFJ <8306>, and Hitachi <6501>, were sold off.

In the midst of a downturn in the stock market, securities and commodity futures trading, insurance, banking, electric appliances, and mining showed prominent declines despite stock inclusion in the Nikkei Average index. Daiwa Securities Group headquarters <8601> and Nomura Holdings <8604>, among others securities stocks, fell sharply, as did semiconductor stocks such as Screen HD <7735>, Tokyo Electron <8035>, Socionext <6526>, SUMCO <3436>, Lasertec <6920>, and Advantest <6857>. In addition, a wide range of stocks, such as Mitsukoshi Isetan <3099>, Mitsui & Co. <8031>, Ebara Corporation <6361>, Mitsui Chemicals <4183>, Nippon Steel <5631>, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries <7011>, Mitsubishi UFJ <8306>, and Hitachi <6501>, were sold off. Among the Nikkei Average constituents, only seven stocks, such as Nikko Securities <8606>, Asahi Kasei <3407>, and Japan Tobacco <2914>, showed an increase.

On the other hand, Japan Ham <2282>, which exceeded expectations for the first quarter earnings due to the good performance of the Australian market, and Konami Group <9766>, Sumitomo Electric <5802>, and Nippon Steel <5401> were also bought on the basis of good results. Astellas Pharma <4503>, Kyowa Kirin <4151>, and Tokyo Gas <9531> rose. The Nikkei average constituent stocks that rose were only these seven issues.

In the midst of selling in all industries, securities and commodity futures trading, insurance, banking, electric appliances, and mining showed prominent declines.

Following a historical sharp decline in the Nikkei average, the Nikkei VI surged to the 28-point range, and investor sentiment is rapidly deteriorating. It seems that stop-loss selling was triggered by the fact that it fell below the 200-day moving average line for the first time this year, but investors who saw the trading volume of 3 trillion yen in the morning today also believed that there are investors who buy on the lower side. With extremely high caution towards tonight's July U.S. employment statistics, it is unlikely that the Nikkei average will see a rapid reduction in its decline; but it is worth keeping an eye on a rebound around the 36,860 yen level where the 200-day moving average line is located.
