NYCB stock surges, up 17% as executives buy company shares - Bloomberg

S&P 500 finishes near unchanged; Nikkei futures and after-hours trading

On the 9th, the weekend, U.S. stock market shows mixed to higher for the three major indexes, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which fell, was weighed down by declines in resource-related and healthcare sectors.

Overall market sentiment remains positive, with reports that the annual revision of the U.S. CPI may be revised downward, absorbing the lingering inflation risk.

Additionally, NYCB, which had been volatile in U.S. commercial real estate, announced a buyback by its management, sending the stock up nearly 20% and boosting overall market confidence.

The Nasdaq Composite rose for the fourth straight day, with buying driven by the hope of earnings growth after news that Nvidia’s AI semiconductor technology supports cloud business.

On a weekly basis, the three major indexes all rose; the Dow Jones Industrial Average barely stayed positive for the week, the Dow Jones Transportation Average continued its decline, and the Russell 2000 reversed to a weekly gain.

The VIX index rose, but on a weekly basis it ended lower than last week.

Nikkei futures after-hours trading rose, up 260 yen to 37,150 yen (Mini also 37,150 yen); the Chicago 225 futures (as of 6:59 on the 10th) closed at 37,105 yen.

High (Osaka) (Mini) 37,180 yen (10th 4:22); low 36,915 yen (9th 16:53).
