AI-related stocks remained firm, pushing the index back into the 69,000-yen range for the first time in a month and a half.

The Nikkei Stock Average extended its gains for the fifth consecutive trading session, closing up 506.45 yen at 69,220.25 yen (with estimated volume of 2.09 billion shares). On a closing basis, this marks the first time in approximately a month and a half, since July 6, that the index has reclaimed the 69,000-yen level. Although major U.S. stock indices fell across the board on Friday, shares related to artificial intelligence (AI), such as SanDisk, rose, supporting a firm performance for stocks like Kioxia HD <285A>, Tokyo Electron <8035>, and Fujikura <5803> in the Tokyo market, thereby lifting the Nikkei Average.

Strong buying interest driven by expectations of a pullback is evident.

[Equity Market Opening Comment] The Japanese stock market on the 17th is expected to see profit-taking following trends in the U.S. market, though strong buying interest aimed at purchasing on dips is likely to remain evident. In the U.S. market on the 14th, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by $107, and Nasdaq dropped by 73 points. Concerns about a slowdown in consumption and economic growth surfaced as a series of economic indicators, including July U.S. retail sales and the August University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index, came in below expectations. Rising crude oil futures prices also weighed on the market.
