The number of gains and falls of the Nikkei Average constituent stocks at the time of the big closing on the 23rd was 126 stocks with price increases and 97 stocks with price drops unchanged.

The US market rose on the 22nd. The Dow average closed at 38239.98 dollars, which was 253.58 dollars higher (+0.67%), the NASDAQ was 169.29 points higher (+1.11%) at 15451.30, and the S&P 500 closed at 5010.60, which was 43.37 points higher (+ 0.87%). Since the sense of alarm about the worsening situation in the Middle East receded, it rose after being snuggled up. In addition to being driven by the backlash from NVIDIA semiconductors, buybacks became dominant due to a sense of being oversold due to high technology, supporting the overall market price, and remained steady throughout the day. Expectations for major companies' financial results also became further buying material, and the increase widened towards the end of the game, and it ended.

In response to the appreciation of US stocks, the Tokyo stock market began trading with a buying advantage. Although there was a scene where the Nikkei Average rose to the 37800 yen level after being close, semiconductor stocks continued to be weak, and there were also scenes where it entered a negative zone compared to the previous day. After one round of sales, it turned around, but the latter market moved slightly at the 37,500 yen level. The trading price on the Prime Market fell below 4 trillion yen, making it the lowest trading price this year.
