Today in the Growth Market, both the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market Index and the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market 250 Index showed significant continuous increases, with 454 rising stocks, 123 falling stocks, and 25 unchanged.

The Growth Market had a solid development today. The Dow Inc average in the US market on the previous day, the 26th, continued to rise for five days. Following the Christmas holiday, during a period of low activity, buying expectations for a Christmas rally as the year-end approached supported the lower prices. Subsequent declines in the unemployment insurance continued claimants reaching a three-year high, paired with strong results from the 7-year bond auction, led to a decrease in interest rates, intensifying buying towards the end, and the Dow barely recovered into positive territory. The Nasdaq experienced inconsistent performance without sustained buying in the US stock market but opened with an increase in the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market Index.

After widening the gains in the morning, it reached a high of 828 points around the middle of the morning session. Later, the increase slightly narrowed and became a heavy upper price development, but it finished trading with a significant increase. With the Nikkei Stock Average recovering to the 40,000 yen level for the first time in five months led by Futures, individual investor sentiment improved, and buying activity also spread to Emerging Markets. However, while the Nikkei Stock Average expanded its increase towards the end, the index in the Emerging Markets experienced a heavy upper price development and the trading became focused on the Main Board in the latter half.

Today, BeStyle Holdings <302A> was newly listed on the Growth Market and started with an initial price of 3,325 yen, significantly above the offering price, but it later faced selling pressure and finished trading at the daily limit down.
