The rise in semiconductor NVIDIA led the way, and after getting close, it rose. After that, the company's stock declined and became heavy on the market price, and since the number of JOLT job offers and the ISM non-manufacturing business climate index exceeded expectations, it led to long-term interest rate increases due to observations of a slowdown in the pace of interest rate cuts, and it began to decline. The market remained soft throughout the day, and the decline widened towards the end of the game and ended.

In response to the depreciation of US stocks, the Tokyo market began trading with a selling advantage. After the Nikkei Average started below 40,000 yen, there was a scene where the decline widened to the 39700 yen range. However, after the first round of sales, the Nikkei Average also turned back from the fact that the depreciation of the yen and the appreciation of the dollar progressed due to speculations about widening interest rate differences between Japan and the US, and the daily rise in price semiconductor stocks. It remained in a negative zone compared to the previous day until the close, but it is now in a position where steadiness can be confirmed.
