Nikkei, Topix, CSI 300: Börse in Japan legt nach Verlusten am Vortag wieder zu

Der Nikkei und der Topicx erholen sich nach den kräftigen Verlusten vom Vortag. Vor der anstehenden Berichtssaison und den US-Zwischenwahlen bleiben die Anleger jedoch vorsichtig.

Nikkei, Topix, CSI 300: Börse in Japan legt nach Verlusten am Vortag wieder zu

Asian stock markets recovered on Friday following sharp losses the previous day, particularly in technology stocks. The Nikkei 225 index in Tokyo rose 1.7% to 65,496 points, while the broader Topix index gained 1.7% to 4,066 counters. Shanghai's Shanghai Composite Index added only minimal gains, closing at 3,716 points. The CSI-300 index, comprising China's 300 largest companies on mainland exchanges, closed virtually unchanged at 4,170 points.

Week-to-date, however, both the Nikkei and Topix declined as investors pulled out due to growing doubts about the financing costs for artificial intelligence technology stocks. Daisuke Hashizume, a senior strategist at Daiwa Securities, noted that "the stocks recovered as investors returned to the market after strong losses the previous day, without any other reasons for the gains."

Tokyo Electron's stocks rose by about 2%, Kioxia's by over 3%, and SoftBank Group's by 1.3%. US Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh expressed optimism about the impact of AI on the real economy during a Friday speech at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank annual meeting in Bangkok, but cautioned that its short-term effects on employment remain uncertain.
