Today's Growth Market saw a mix of buying and selling. In the US market on the previous day, the Dow Inc recovered into positive territory, while the Nasdaq experienced a slight decline. The 9th is a day of mourning for former President Carter, with the stock market closed, leading to adjustment selling ahead of the employment statistics announcement scheduled for this weekend. However, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) indicated in its minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting (held in December) that participants expect steady growth, which steadied the market.

Against the backdrop of a mixed finish in the US market, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market Index started lower. After hitting a low of 819.09 points in the morning, buying activity spread, gradually narrowing the decline. There were moments of renewed selling in the afternoon, but as the day went on, buying pressure increased, temporarily lifting the index back into positive territory. However, it fell back into negative territory at the end and finished with a slight decline. In the Tokyo market, declines in US semiconductor stocks and some reports about tightening US export regulations against China weighed heavily, fanning negative investor sentiment, leading the Nikkei 225 to stay weak all day. The Index of Emerging Markets also fell, but buying on dips in some major stocks provided support.

On an individual basis, visumo <303A>, which has continued its selling trend from the previous day, dropped by 21% and hit the daily limit down, becoming the largest decliner; Sapeet <269A>, which had been rising until the previous day, also faced profit-taking selling, falling 18% and hitting the daily limit down. Additionally, the effects of the previous day's significant rise spread to ribomyc <4591>, which declined by 15%. Among the large market cap stocks, GENDA <9166> and Free <4478> trended softly, while HPC Systems <6597>, Circlace <5029>, and Palma <3461> appeared among the largest decliners.

On the other hand, Cube <7112>, which was positively received regarding its December 2024 monthly sales report from direct-run stores, rose by 16%, while Timey <215A>, which surpassed a cumulative registered worker count of 10 million, also increased.
