The Nikkei 225 temporarily rose more than ¥2,000, reflecting a reaction to the previous weekend's decline of more than ¥3,600. The market is increasingly focused on buying returning to AI-related stocks and an early recovery to the ¥60,000 level.
In Tokyo trading at the start of the week, the Nikkei 225 temporarily rose more than ¥2,000 on broad-based buying, and the morning close was ¥59,411.34. The rise was attributed to a reaction to the previous weekend's sharp decline, while the rebound in the US Nasdaq, including technology stocks, continued.
Approximately 90% of Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market stocks advanced, and buying returned to AI-related stocks across the market. The market was influenced by US markets, and an improvement in sentiment was in focus.
Market participants said that whether the index can recover to the ¥60,000 level soon will be the focus for the time being, drawing attention to future developments.
