Märkte Asien: Rally an Wall Street treibt Börsen in Asien an
Die Rekordstimmung an den US-Börsen motiviert auch die Investoren in Asien. Die wichtigsten Indizes in Japan und Südkorea stiegen um mehr als drei Prozent.
Asian stock markets surged on Wednesday, driven by a boom in AI stocks, positive company outlooks, hope for an Iran peace deal, and falling oil prices. The Nikkei Index in Japan rose 3.7% to 66,300 points, its highest close in nearly two weeks. The broader Topix index climbed 2.1%. Shanghai's market gained 1.4%, while the Shanghai and Shenzhen composite rose 1.2%.
South Korea's market increased by 3.8%. On Wall Street, the S&P 500 and Dow Jones hit record highs the day before. Japanese shares of chip test equipment maker Advantest rose 8.7%, and Tokyo Electron gained 3.3%. This followed the Philadelphia Semiconductor index's 6.6% rise. Murata Manufacturing, a maker of AI server components, surged 9.8% after raising profit forecasts.
Fanuc, a robot maker, benefited from a better outlook, gaining 4.4%. "A series of profit upgrades by Japanese companies is a positive factor for the entire stock market," said Daisuke Hashizume, a strategist at Daiwa Securities. Meanwhile, Chinese stocks of AI hardware companies fell. Sources told Reuters that the Trump administration is considering an import ban on new Chinese computer center components.
Export-dependent optical module manufacturers Zhongji Innolight and Eoptolink Technology saw declines of 7% and 5%, respectively.
