The Nikkei 225 rebounded to gain ¥483, with firm Dow futures providing support for Tokyo stocks. Moves in the top contributing stocks and sectors were also reported.
The Nikkei 225 was up ¥483 as of 1:50 p.m. Advantest, Ibiden, and Kioxia HD were among the top positive contributors, while TDK, Fanuc, and Hitachi were among the top negative contributors. By sector, nonferrous metals, banking, securities and commodities futures, electric power and gas, and insurance contributed to the advance.
Firm Dow futures in after-hours trading were viewed as a supporting factor for Tokyo stocks. However, South Korea’s KOSPI turned lower after rising, which may also have weighed on the Tokyo market.
