Nikkei, Yen, Hang Seng: Erholung nach Nvidia-Schock – Japanische Börse erholt sich
Vor allem japanische Chipwerte können am Freitag zulegen. Zugleich rücken mögliche Zinserhöhungen in den USA und politische Unsicherheiten in Japan in den Fokus der Anleger.
European stock markets stabilized on Friday following a turbulent week surrounding the resignation of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The Nikkei Index rose 0.5 percent to 61,142 points, while the broader Topix index increased by 0.1 percent. At the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the comprehensive Nikkei Index climbed 0.9 percent to 61,362 points, marking a weekly gain of over six percent.
The broader Topix index was up 0.4 percent at 3,952 points. China's Shanghai Stock Exchange gained 0.2 percent to 3,663 points, while the CSI-300 index of mainland China's largest companies remained flat at 4,042 points. The MSCI index for Asian-Pacific stocks outside Japan rose 0.26 percent. South Korea's Kospi index climbed 2.35 percent.
The leadership change at Nvidia created uncertainty after the company's CEO, Jensen Huang, stepped down with immediate effect on Thursday after a spy scandal involving him. The tech sector was impacted as many AI and chip stocks rebounded, with shares of Advantest up 2.1 percent and Tokyo Electron rising 1.7 percent. Political developments in Japan also drew investor attention, with government plans for significant cuts to defense spending.
Finance Minister Takaichi proposed limiting defense expenditures to 50-60 trillion yen over the next five years, which is far below the 80 trillion yen demanded by security policymakers due to proposed tax cuts to boost the economy.
