The Nikkei average fell back, continuing a lack of direction as the Christmas holiday approaches.
On the 23rd, the US Stocks market continued to rise. The Dow Inc average increased by 66.69 points to 42,906.95 dollars, and the Nasdaq closed up by 192.29 points at 19,764.88. Caution was exercised due to the deterioration of the Consumer Confidence Index, leading to mixed results after the opening. Following the retreat of expectations for rapid interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, long-term Gold rates rose, causing the Dow Inc to decline. However, as high-tech Stocks were purchased in anticipation of a Santa Claus rally, the Nasdaq remained strong, expanding its gains towards the end of the trading session, benefiting the overall market.
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.
