Japan's Nikkei Rebounds Led by Tech Stocks Amid Cautious Global Sentiment
Japan's Nikkei 225 rebounded sharply after a steep weekly decline, rising between 1.25% and 3.26% as investors bought undervalued stocks following a market holiday. Technology shares, particularly in semiconductors and AI-related sectors, led the recovery, supported by gains in US chipmakers. Despite the rally, caution persisted due to rising oil prices linked to Middle East tensions, which raised concerns about inflation and potential interest rate hikes. Market focus has shifted to upcoming second-quarter earnings from major US tech firms including Alphabet, Tesla, and Intel.
