Numerous earnings announcements are scheduled in Japan and the U.S., and stock prices are expected to react sharply to announcements from AI- and semiconductor-related companies. Attention is also focused on developments surrounding the impact of the CoreWeave shock.
Market participants believe stock prices could fluctuate sharply this week, with even small pieces of information about earnings or policy decisions potentially affecting share prices.
