With markets awaiting next week's financial events, the scope for an autonomous rebound is limited.

[Equity Opening Comment] On the 11th, selling is likely to lead the Japanese stock market amid caution over the situation in the Middle East. Even after the selling subsides, the market is expected to remain reluctant to buy on dips as investors await next week's financial events. In the U.S. market on the 10th, the NY Dow fell by $316 and Nasdaq dropped by 171 points. Crude oil futures rose above $1 per barrel amid growing concerns over escalating conflict between the U.S. and Iran, following reports that Iran had resumed ballistic missile production at underground facilities.

Sell orders targeting a pullback are likely to emerge.

[Equity Market Opening Comment] Japanese stocks are likely to face initial selling pressure on the 10th amid heightened caution over Middle East tensions, with subsequent market conditions expected to remain unfavorable for dip-buying strategies. In the U.S. market on the 9th, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by $405, and the Nasdaq Composite dropped by 168 points. Sentiment was dampened by crude oil futures rising to the $96 per barrel range in response to escalating military confrontations between the U.S. and Iran. Additionally, a rise in U.S. long-term interest rates due to inflation concerns further cooled market sentiment. Chicago Nikkei

Assess the underlying resilience of semiconductor and AI-related stocks following a round of selling.

[Equity Market Opening Comment] On the 8th, the Japanese stock market is expected to focus on semiconductor and AI-related stocks, amid concerns of a pullback following the previous day’s sharp rise. U.S. markets were closed on the 7th for the Labor Day holiday. With limited flow from overseas investors and little direction from European markets due to their lack of clear cues, trading is likely to remain stagnant. Amid subdued active trading, investors are likely to look for buying opportunities on dips, assessing the underlying strength of semiconductor stocks.

Buoyed by the rally in U.S. semiconductor stocks, buying pressure dominated, pushing the index back into the 66,000 yen range.

The Nikkei Stock Average extended its gains significantly, rising 1,378.90 points to close at 66,399.84 (with estimated trading volume of 2.02 billion shares). On a closing basis, it regained the psychologically significant 66,000 level for the first time in four trading sessions since the 1st.

Market developments centered around semiconductor and AI-related stocks.

[Equity Market Opening Comment] Japanese equities are expected to see trading driven by semiconductor and AI-related stocks on the 7th. In the U.S. market on the 4th, the Dow Inc fell by $271, while Nasdaq dropped by 77 points. The August U.S. employment report showed non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000, significantly exceeding market expectations of approximately 53,000. This data heightened expectations for earlier interest rate hikes, with rising U.S. long-term bond yields weighing on sentiment.

Buoyed by the rally in U.S. stocks, buying initially led the market, but the upward momentum failed to sustain.

The Nikkei Stock Average fell for the fourth consecutive session, closing down 111.16 yen at 64,214.48 yen (estimated trading volume: 2.18 billion shares). Reflecting a rebound from previous declines and gains in U.S. stocks the prior day, buying interest centered on semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI)-related shares, leading to an initial recovery in the Nikkei. However, amid persistently high crude oil prices and growing expectations of interest rate hikes in both Japan and the U.S. due to inflation concerns, market sentiment remained weighed down by expectations of rising interest rates, causing the Nikkei to dip into negative territory, hitting 64,140.04 yen at one point.

In the U.S. market on the 2nd, the NY Dow Inc rose by $295, and the Nasdaq gained 118 points. New York Fed President Williams stated that it is necessary to "wait and see" regarding U.S. monetary policy and inflation trends.
