Japan Stock Market Index (JP225) - Summary

The Nikkei 225 Index dropped 1% to around 68,300 on Friday, extending losses for a third consecutive session and following an overnight selloff in US technology stocks as concerns over OpenAI’s revenue outlook weighed on the broader artificial intelligence sector. Reports suggested that OpenAI’s annualized revenue stood at $50 billion at the end of September, below the widely reported $68 billion figure last month. Investors are increasingly focused on whether AI-related revenue can justify the sector’s substantial investment spending, particularly as Japanese firms play a significant role in developing global AI infrastructure. Among the biggest decliners were Advantest (-2.3%), Kioxia Holdings (-4.3%), SoftBank Group (-7.1%), Fujikura (-3.5%) and Murata Manufacturing (-3.6%). Meanwhile, data showed that Japan’s personal spending declined for a ninth consecutive month in August, as persistent inflation continued to weigh on consumer demand.

Japanese Shares Drop for Second Session
The Nikkei 225 Index fell 1.42% to close at 69,042, while the broader Topix Index declined 1.51% to 4,091 on Thursday, with both benchmarks extending losses for a second consecutive session as oil prices surged amid renewed tensions between the US and Iran, heightening inflation concerns. The latest FOMC minutes also pointed to a hawkish stance among policymakers, keeping investors cautious about the possibility of further rate hikes. Domestically, Bank of Japan member Ayano Sato, who previously dissented from the central bank’s September rate hike, said this week that she favored a gradual approach to raising interest rates in multiple stages, reinforcing expectations that policymakers could tighten policy again. Technology and banking stocks led the decline, with sharp losses from Taiyo Yuden (-4.4%), SoftBank Group (-4.3%) and Mitsubishi UFJ (-3.3%).
