Today's growth market, both the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market Index and the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market 250 Index continued to increase significantly. The number of rising stocks was 448, the number of falling stocks was 102, and the unchanged stocks were 29.

The U.S. market declined on the 18th. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 41,503.10 (-103.08 points or -0.25%), the Nasdaq closed at 17,573.30 (-54.76 points or -0.31%), and the S&P 500 closed at 5,618.26 (-16.32 points or -0.29%). Following the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decision to cut interest rates by 0.5% for the first time in 4 years, there was an initial sharp increase in the stock market. However, due to profit-taking and Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's remarks after the meeting that there is no urgent need for further rate cuts, the stock market turned downward towards the end of the session in response to rising interest rates.

Although US stocks fell, investor sentiment improved due to the weakening of the yen exchange rate, and the growth market started with a buying preference. In the Prime Market, the Nikkei Average rose by about 1000 yen compared to the previous day, leading to a dominant buying trend in the growth market, focusing on main stocks.

In individual stocks, Integral <5842>, GN-i Group <2160>, Cover <5253> gradually increased their gains from the start, and GMO Financial Gate <4051> and BASE <4477> also showed strong movements. In the top gainers, QPS Research <5595>, as well as Anges <4563>, Cell Seed <7776>, and Sanbio <4592> ranked among the biotech stocks.
