Japan's stock market is anticipated to open higher on Monday, November 9, following a historic selloff last week, with the Nikkei 225 plunging 9.25% to close at 57,434.77 on Friday, November 6. The broader TOPIX index also dropped 5.90% to 3,707.99, marking a weekly decline of 6.48%. While the initial recovery in US technology shares and stronger overnight futures provide some relief, investors remain uncertain about the outlook for artificial intelligence investment and face a potentially volatile week dominated by inflation data and corporate earnings.
The Nikkei has fallen below the psychologically important 60,000 level, leaving investors to assess whether the latest decline represents an opportunity to buy shares at lower prices or the beginning of a broader reassessment of corporate valuations.
