The number of gains and falls of the Nikkei Average constituent stocks at the time of the big closing on the 16th was 72 stocks with price increases and 151 stocks with price drops unchanged.

The Nikkei Average continued to rise for 3 days. The front-end transaction was closed at 38669.57 yen (estimated turnover 1.19 billion shares), which was 283.84 yen higher (+ 0.74%) compared to the previous day.

The US stock market continued to rise on the 15th. The Dow average closed at 39908.00 dollars, which was 349.89 dollars higher (+ 0.88%), the NASDAQ was 231.21 points higher (+ 1.40%) at 16742.39, and the S&P 500 closed at 5308.15, which was 61.47 points higher (+ 1.17%). Buying, which was expected to cut interest rates by the end of the year in response to a slowdown in consumer price index (CPI) growth in April, was rekindled, and then rose. It was bought mainly by high-tech companies against the backdrop of a drastic drop in long-term interest rates, and remained steady throughout the day. At the end of the game, the increase widened, and the Dow and NASDAQ hit high prices and ended.

In response to the rise in US stocks, the Tokyo market also began trading with a buying advantage. The Nikkei Average expanded the increase to 38897.53 yen in response to the rise in valuable semiconductor stocks, but like the day before, the increase became heavy around 39,000 yen and the increase narrowed. When the exchange rate was in the 153 yen range compared to the day before, the yen appreciated by just over 2 yen and the depreciation of the dollar progressed, and automobile-related matters such as Toyota's own (7203) declined. Since there were not even bank stocks with large market capitalization, TOPIX was negative compared to the previous day.

Among stocks adopted by the Nikkei Average, financial results were viewed as material, and Recruit HD ＜6098＞ and Credit Saison ＜8253＞ became the buying advantage, and semiconductor stocks such as Tokyo Electron ＜8035＞, Advantest ＜6857＞, DISCO ＜6146＞, and Screen HD ＜7735＞ also rose. In addition, TDK ＜6762＞, Ebara Seisakusho ＜6361＞, Terumo ＜4543＞, and Eisai ＜4523＞ were bought.

Meanwhile, the Japanese paper ＜3863＞ depreciated drastically because the operating profit forecast for the current fiscal year reached market consensus, and Nissin Flour G ＜2002＞ and Mitsubishi UFJ ＜8306＞ were also sold because financial results were disgusted. Additionally, Sumitomo Pharma (4506), Sumitomo Chemical (4005), Mazda (7261), Konica Minolta (4902), and Oji Holdings (3861) declined.

By industry, while other products, services, electrical equipment, other financial industries, precision instruments, etc. rose, pulp and paper, transportation equipment, steel, banking, petroleum and coal products, etc. declined.

The top contributor to price increases was Toelec (8035), which boosted the Nikkei Average by about 114 yen with 1 stock. Recruit HD ＜6098＞ came in the same 2nd place, followed by Advantest ＜6857＞, SoftBank G ＜9984＞, Terumo ＜4543＞, TDK ＜6762＞, and Fast Rette ＜9983＞.

Meanwhile, the top contributor to price drops was Toyota ＜7203＞, which pushed down the Nikkei Average by about 13 yen with 1 brand. Honda ＜7267＞ came in the same 2nd place, followed by Suzuki ＜7269＞, Daiichi Sankyo ＜4568＞, Secom ＜9735＞, Nissin Flour G ＜2002＞, Nitto Electric Power ＜6988＞, etc.
