Information regarding past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
The Nikkei 225 closed at 57,435 on 6 Nov, down 9.3% on the week from 63,290, as AI-related stocks such as SoftBank and chip equipment makers fell after Democrats won both chambers of the US Congress. Reuters cited Japanese investors worried that tougher AI rules in the US would hurt the sector.
The index is exposed to AI stocks because SoftBank, Advantest, Tokyo Electron and Fast Retailing carry large weights. US inflation data on 10 Nov and Bank of Japan comments are the main events this week.
Levels for 9 to 13 Nov: Support 56,000 and 55,000. Resistance 60,000 and 63,290.
