The Nikkei 225 briefly rose more than ¥1,300 in the Tokyo stock market. Gains in semiconductor stocks in the New York market late last week prompted buying to lead in semiconductor-related and electronic-component stocks.
In the Tokyo market at the start of the week, the Nikkei 225 rose more than ¥1,300 shortly after trading began. The move was attributed to the momentum created by significant moves in semiconductor-related stocks in the New York market late last week, which spread buying catalysts to the Tokyo market as well.
Buying was concentrated in semiconductor-related stocks and electronic components, with investors’ buy orders leading in these stocks. Against the backdrop of the market’s movement, attention has also focused on the performance of individual stocks.
The rise in semiconductor stocks in the New York market led trading in Tokyo to tilt toward buying immediately after the opening. Specific stock names and sector-by-sector ratios are not provided in the article and have therefore been omitted.
