The number of gains and falls of the Nikkei Average constituent stocks at the time of the big closing on the 7th was 193 stocks with price increases and 29 stocks with price drops unchanged.

The Dow average in the US market rose by 341.16 dollars to 42352.75 dollars last weekend, and the NASDAQ closed at 18137.85 points, which was 219.38 points higher. It rose after being attracted to the end of the port labor union strike on the east coast and purchases that were well received by the strong results of the September employment statistics. It remained strong throughout the day due to a drastic improvement in the economic outlook. A rise in semiconductors such as NVIDIA in response to expectations of an increase in AI-related demand is driving the rise in the NASDAQ. The increase in the market widened towards the end of the game, and the Dow hit a record high. With the rising US stock market sideways, buying took precedence in today's Tokyo stock market. The Nikkei Stock Average also began rising in response to the Chicago futures trend. Geopolitical risks such as the situation in the Middle East are still being feared, but observations of drastic interest rate cuts at the next US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) have receded in response to the results of US employment statistics. The depreciation of the yen accelerated, as the exchange rate hit the 149 yen level per dollar, and it was a strong day centered on export-related stocks. The upper price of the Nikkei Average became heavy after a round of buying, but on a closing price basis, it recovered to the 39,000 yen level since 9/27.
