The Nikkei average fell for the sixth consecutive day, closing at a low due to the decline in financial stocks.

On the 19th, the U.S. Stocks market was mixed. The Dow Inc. rose by $15.37 to close at $42,342.24, while the Nasdaq fell by 19.93 points to end at $19,372.77. After the opening, the market experienced an upward movement. The sharp drop the previous day, due to the indication from the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) of a slowdown in the pace of additional interest rate cuts during the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), was seen as an overreaction, leading to a wave of buying. The domestic Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the July to September period was revised upward, and new unemployment Insurance claims were announced in the morning.

Dream Vision has ranked in, and the continuation of revenue expansion in the China area is a clue.

Dream Vision <3185> has ranked in (as of 9:32 am). There has been a significant rebound. It seems that the continued expansion of revenue in the China area is a key factor. On the 17th, participation in the Chinese event "W11" has led to active marketing and social media promotions targeting the China area. As a result, revenue in that area has achieved an increase of over 300% compared to the June-September period of 2024, and more than 200 times compared to the same period last year, when there had not yet been a full-scale entry into cross-border e-commerce.
