The Nikkei Average fell for the third consecutive day, and the level of 40,000 yen is in a stalemate due to a rebound in semiconductor stocks.

On the 18th, the US stock market fell. The Dow Jones average closed down 533.06 points (-1.29%) at 40,665.02, the Nasdaq closed down 125.70 points (-0.70%) at 17,871.22, and the S&P 500 closed down 43.68 points (-0.78%) at 5,544.59. After opening higher, it fell due to better-than-expected employment and manufacturing-related indicators and the retreat of early interest rate cuts. The Dow, which had been hitting record highs, fell due to profit-taking selling and increased caution towards corporate earnings.
