The Nikkei Stock Average rose by more than ¥1,400 at one point in the Tokyo stock market today. According to market participants, buying led the market, particularly in AI-related stocks, after strong earnings from Anthropic were reported in the New York market the previous day.
Anthropic's strong earnings were said to have eased concerns about the sustainability of AI investment. Following a sharp rise in semiconductor-related stocks, buying orders also spread across AI and semiconductor-related stocks in Japan.
The moves reported today have been attributed to the spread of buying in AI and semiconductor-related stocks shortly after trading began, supporting the rise in the Nikkei Average.
