The number of gains and falls of the Nikkei Average constituent stocks at the time of the big closing on the 24th was 60 stocks with price increases and 162 stocks with price drops unchanged.

The US stock market continued to decline on the 23rd. The Dow average closed at 39065.26 dollars (-1.53%) lower by 605.78 dollars, the NASDAQ depreciated 65.50 points (-0.39%) at 16736.04, and the S&P 500 closed at 5267.84, which was 39.17 points lower (-0.74%). Semiconductor NVIDIA's favorable financial results led to an improvement in investor sentiment, and it remained steady. After that, long-term interest rates rose due to employment-related indicators and PMI being stronger than expected and expectations of interest rate cuts receding, and the upper price of the market was suppressed. Furthermore, Boeing's decline weighed on the Dow, pushing the index further down and turning into a decline. The NASDAQ also remained strong in the early stages, but towards the end, profit-taking sales ahead of consecutive holidays also became heavy and ended with a decline.

In response to the decline in US stocks, the Tokyo market began trading with a selling advantage. Since the decline spread mainly to high-tech stocks such as semiconductors in response to rising interest rates between Japan and the US, there was a scene where the Nikkei Average temporarily fell to 38367.70 yen. After a round of sales, the rise in US 10-year bond yields after hours came to a standstill, and although there was a movement to buy back mainly futures, the prime market trading price fell below 4 trillion yen, etc., and specials became limited.

The closing Nikkei average was 38646.11 yen, down 457.11 yen (-1.17%) from the previous day.

By industry, while the securities/commodity futures trading business, mining industry, real estate industry, machinery, electrical equipment, etc. declined, the shipping industry, pharmaceuticals, electric/gas industry, steel, non-ferrous metals, etc. rose.
