The Nikkei 225 briefly rose by more than ¥1,000 shortly after opening on the 24th, with AI-related shares leading the market higher. Meanwhile, bond futures fell against the backdrop of trends in the US market, while rising long-term interest rates and higher crude oil prices drew attention.
The Nikkei 225 rose to more than ¥1,000 higher shortly after opening on the 24th, as buying spread among investors. AI-related shares led the market higher, drawing attention to related stocks.
Bond futures fell sharply, partly under the influence of the US market. Strong US economic data and persistently high crude oil prices once again heightened concerns about inflation. Long-term interest rates rose, affecting sentiment in the stock market.
With crude oil prices also remaining high, price movements overall became more active, particularly among technology stocks. Going forward, attention will focus on developments in the US and the response of the Japanese market.
