The Nikkei 225 Volatility Index fell sharply, with concerns temporarily easing after stock prices rebounded in the Tokyo market. Against a backdrop of factors driving the rebound in the US market, views on the rise in volatility have temporarily settled down.
The Nikkei 225 Volatility Index had fallen to 39.48 as of 14:25, down 5.12 from the previous day, for a decline of 11.48%. The high for the week so far was 42.66 and the low was 38.88.
Although the Dow fell the previous day, the Nasdaq Composite rose 1.08% and the SOX Index rebounded sharply, gaining 4.21%. As a result, buying has dominated trading in Nikkei 225 futures.
While developments in US AI regulation remain a source of concern, the rebound in Tokyo stock prices has temporarily eased concerns about volatility. The Nikkei VI has been trading above last week's closing level.
