Börse Asien: Asien-Börsen im Aufwind – Chip-Rally treibt Nikkei deutlich ins Plus

Asia's stock markets saw a majority of gains on Monday, propelled by robust US technology sector indicators and resilient US labor market data. The Japanese Nikkei Index rose by 2.2% to 66,460 points, while the broader Topix index increased by 0.6% to 4,128 counters. Shanghai's Shanghai Composite remained almost unchanged at 3,928 points, with the Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share index climbing 0.3% to 4,562 points.

The surge in Asian markets was primarily driven by semiconductor stocks, following the strong performance on Wall Street. Notable Japanese winners included chipmaker Advantest and Tokyo Electron, both up by over four percent, and memory chip manufacturer Kioxia, which rose 6.8%. Mamoru Shimode, chief strategist at Resona Asset Management, noted that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's apparent cooling of bond yields and the stabilization of the yen had reduced market volatility, making risk-on investing more appealing for equity investors.

Japanese banks like Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group fell by more than one percent, while Sony slumped by two percent.
