Tokyo stocks seen firm today as strong US semiconductor stocks provide tailwind; gains may stall after initial buying

The story

The Nikkei 225 is expected to trade firmly in Tokyo today.

US jobs data, which had been closely watched, came in stronger than expected, potentially reviving expectations for further US rate hikes. The strength of US semiconductor stocks has been cited as a buying incentive for the broader market.

The market may struggle to extend its gains once the initial buying momentum subsides.
