The Nikkei 225 is expected to lack direction in Tokyo trading on the 26th, with a wait-and-see mood spreading ahead of moves in U.S. stocks and NVIDIA's quarterly earnings announcement. Gains in U.S. stocks the previous day should provide support, but a strong push higher is unlikely.
The Nikkei 225 is expected to lack direction in Tokyo trading on the 26th. While the strength of U.S. stocks may provide support, market activity is expected to remain limited ahead of NVIDIA's earnings.
Trading value on the TSE Prime Market had remained well below the ¥10 trillion threshold for four consecutive business days through the previous day, reflecting a summer-doldrums mood.
The Nikkei 225 is expected to trade in a range of around ¥500 on either side of the previous day's close of ¥65,856.
Movements in overseas markets, including the Dow, could provide cues for Japanese stocks in the 25th's U.S. trading session, but the market remains focused on assessing the impact of NVIDIA's earnings announcement.
