Nikkei, Topix, CSI 300: Inflations- und Kriegssorgen belasten Anleihemärkte – Märkte in Asien schließen uneinheitlich

Following the recent losses, Asian stock markets showed signs of recovery on Wednesday. Japan's market led the rally, boosted by gains in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks as the U.S. semiconductor sector surged. Chinese exchanges saw only slight gains and recorded their biggest quarterly loss in over four years, as a new government stimulus package failed to reassure investors.

Sky-high oil prices and high bond yields had recently weighed on global markets. Meanwhile, U.S. bond yields reached levels not seen in nearly 25 years, with 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds trading at up to 5.62 percent, their highest level since 2002, and 10-year notes nearing that level, currently around the 2007 mark. Japan's Nikkei index rose by nearly 2 percent to 66,832 points, with strong demand for tech stocks: Shares of investor Softbank jumped more than 6 percent, while those of chipmaker Tokyo Electron and Advantest rose by 3 and 1 percent, respectively.

Taiyo Yuden, a maker of ceramic capacitors for AI servers, saw a temporary 9 percent surge after announcing a business alliance with TDK. However, as more stocks fell than gained on the overall market, selective selling among investors prevailed, according to Daisuke Hashizume, a strategist at Daiwa Securities.
