Japan’s Tokyo market on the 25th is expected to see selling spread to Japan-related shares as US long-term interest rates and crude oil futures declined while AI and semiconductor stocks fell, with the Nikkei likely to move around ¥500 in either direction from the previous close.
The decline in US long-term interest rates and crude oil futures in the previous session is expected to provide support, while the broad-based fall in US AI and semiconductor stocks is cited as a potential selling catalyst for related Japanese shares.
The Nikkei Stock Average is expected to move around ¥500 in either direction from the previous close of ¥65,528, with buying and selling likely to contend with each other.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at $53,417 in the previous session, and the trend in US stocks is seen as likely to influence short-term activity in the Japanese market.
