The Dow average in the US market fell by 86.06 dollars to 43828.06 dollars last weekend, and the NASDAQ closed at 19926.72 points, which was 23.88 points higher. I like the financial results of major companies. However, the Dow was pushed down by sales and profit-making sales in response to speculation that the pace of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed) would slow down, and it remained soft throughout the day. High interest rates weighed on the NASDAQ, but the rise in semiconductor broadcasters boosted the index and remained steady throughout the day. Today's Nikkei Average started with a rebound of 39551.22 yen, 80.78 yen higher than the previous weekend, against the US stock market, which ended on the sidelines. Buying took a slight lead from falling in favor of Chicago futures, but after getting close, there was only a slight movement. After that, the increase in semiconductor-related matters widened due to prices where buyers were gathered in response to the appreciation of US semiconductor stocks the previous weekend. Also, according to machine order statistics for October, the order value (seasonally adjusted) for “private demand excluding ships and electricity” increased 2.1% from the previous month, and a portion of machine-related stocks also rose due to a sense of security about capital investment. However, after a round of buying, aggressive purchases were refrained ahead of the Japan-US central bank meeting, and the Nikkei Average was in a fight at the closing price level of the previous weekend.
