In the US market on the 24th, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded, rising 235.60 dollars from the previous day to 51,947.25 dollars. The decline in crude oil futures was well received, and buying dominated, mainly in blue-chip stocks. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index fell 161.87 points to 24,975.82. Volume on the New York Stock Exchange was 1.10238 billion shares, down 146.3 million shares from the previous day. In the currency market, the yen traded in a narrow range in the upper 163-yen range against the dollar, and as of 5 p.m., it was 163.82 to 163.92 yen, a 0.02-yen weakening of the yen and strengthening of the dollar from the same time the previous day. The yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury note, an indicator of long-term interest rates, fell 0.02 percentage points from the previous day to 4.68 percent. Crude oil futures on the NYMEX fell back as profit-taking selling swelled on expectations of resumed talks to end the conflict between the US and Iran, with the front-month September West Texas Intermediate contract falling 2.88 dollars from the previous day to 89.31 dollars per barrel, but it recorded a weekly gain of 8.27 percent. Gold futures on the COMEX were bought against the backdrop of lower US long-term interest rates, and the front-month August contract rebounded, rising 20.60 dollars from the previous day to 4,070.80 dollars per ounce.
