하락 영향
- Semiconductors — Investment sentiment has weakened due to the spread of tech sell-offs in the US stock market and SK Hynix's withdrawal of Solidigm's Nasdaq listing.

DYAX 전담 분석
Japan's preliminary October manufacturing PMI of 53.3 fell short of the market expectation of 54.5, suggesting that the pace of manufacturing recovery is falling short of expectations. Along with this, geopolitical tensions from the Middle East drove Brent crude to surge to $113.17 per barrel, increasing inflation pressures and cost burdens.
Key monitoring indicators going forward will be export order details and whether the service sector's PMI expansion continues. If sluggish indicators persist, it could act as a burden on Japan's manufacturing and related materials sectors, but the resilience of the service sector is expected to serve as a defense line.
