Börsen: Märkte grenzen Verluste nach Sieg der Demokraten ein – Nikkei und US-Futures erholen sich
Der deutliche Sieg der Demokraten schürt Ängste vor einem langsameren KI‑Ausbau. In Japan reagieren die Investoren mit Verkäufen – und auch an den US-Börsen deuten sich Verluste an.
The surprisingly large Democratic success in the US midterm elections initially triggered significant losses in Asia and among US futures. However, this minus significantly decreased once it was clear that the Democrats would control both chambers of Congress in the future. According to calculations, they would regain the majority in the House of Representatives, and a majority in the Senate was also assumed.
In Japan, where investors reacted live to the initial calculations in the early trading, the leading index Nikkei fell by up to 4.7 percent. The losses after the announcement of the comprehensive Democratic victory, though, reduced to less than 1.5 percent. In South Korea, the Kospi index fell by 3.8 percent, but later the losses were completely offset and even turned slightly positive.
The strong push in Japan was also due to a holiday on Tuesday, which allowed the market to recover from the sharp decline in semiconductor and AI stocks from Monday. The Tokyo Stock Exchange opened on Wednesday morning still slightly in the plus due to unexpectedly good balance sheets of the US chip company AMD. However, it then went sharply down, driven by another loss of confidence in Artificial Intelligence (AI).
