[Snuggle Overview]
The daily Nikkei Average continued to fall to 38504.35 yen, which depreciated 576.90 yen, and trading began. The US stock market continued to decline on 10/31 the day before. The Dow average closed at 41763.46 dollars, which depreciated 378.08 dollars, and the NASDAQ fell 512.78 points at 18095.15. The core PCE price index beat expectations and fell after being close. At the end of the month, it continued to decline due to adjusted sales in preparation for employment statistics. The decline of the software company Microsoft Corp (MSFT) and Meta Platforms (META), which operates the social media Facebook (FB), became heavy, and the NASDAQ accelerated the decline. Towards the end of the game, concerns about worsening conditions in the Middle East also became selling material due to reports that Iran was preparing a large-scale retaliatory attack against Israel.
Sales took precedence in the Tokyo stock market today. The fall in major indices in the US stock market yesterday weighed on stock prices in the Tokyo market. Above all, the Nasdaq Composite Index, which has a high high-tech stock ratio, fell 2.76%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Stock Index (SOX Index), which consists of major semiconductor-related stocks, fell 4.01%, and the rate of decline was large compared to the Dow average (0.90% decline), suppressing stock prices of high-tech stocks and semiconductor-related stocks in the Tokyo market. Also, tonight, US employment statistics for October were announced, and important events continued to be held next week, with voting for the US presidential election next week, and there was also a tendency to forego aggressive purchases because they wanted to confirm these. Meanwhile, the announcement of financial results for the fiscal year ending April-9 by major companies was at an excellent stage, and motivation to search for stocks with good financial results and good performance became a supporting factor for stock prices, but sales prevailed during the donation stage.
