Nikkei 225 Surges 3.37% to 59,368.2 as Tokyo Extends Rebound and Gold Climbs
The Nikkei 225 rose 3.37% to 59,368.2 on Monday, extending its rebound after Friday's 5.97% fall, as the IHSG gained 1.01% and gold climbed 1.26%.
Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 3.37% to 59,368.2 in Monday trading, adding 1,933.43 points from the previous close of 57,434.77 and leading a broad rebound across Asia-Pacific markets. Gold, silver and copper also moved higher, while the dollar index eased.
The move extends the gains Tokyo posted earlier in the session, when the Nikkei 225 was up 2.57% at 58,909.4. It follows a heavy fall on Friday, when the index sank 5.97% as Asian technology shares slumped. Wall Street finished Friday with the Nasdaq up 1.09% and the S&P 500 up 0.32%, while the Dow slipped 0.46%.
Asia-Pacific: Jakarta and Tokyo lead
Jakarta joined the advance. The IHSG was up 1.01% at 5,101.42, compared with a previous close of 5,050.43, and the LQ45 gained 1.27% to 524.85. Among IDX movers, AKR Corporindo rose 4.58%, Unilever Indonesia gained 4.12% and Sumber Alfaria Trijaya added 3.72%, while Japfa Comfeed Indonesia fell 6.91% and Barito Pacific lost 6.59%.
Elsewhere in the region, the Hang Seng edged up 0.19% to 24,529.2 and the Shanghai Composite rose 0.46% to 3,665.94. Sydney's ASX 200 added 0.22% to 9,040.4. India's Sensex was the exception, down 0.28% at 80,774.14.
The gap between Tokyo and its neighbours is wide. The Nikkei's gain is more than triple Jakarta's and many times that of Hong Kong, Shanghai or Sydney, which reflects how sharply Japanese equities had fallen on Friday.
Wall Street's tech rebound sets the backdrop
Friday's US session was led by chip and software-linked names. Advanced Micro Devices jumped 11.04% to 449.04, Arista Networks gained 7.31% and Taiwan Semiconductor rose 6.33%. Airbnb climbed 11.67% and AppLovin advanced 9.86%. On the other side, Axon Enterprise dropped 18.18%, Atlassian fell 16.15% and Microchip Technology lost 10.02%.
Volatility eased from elevated levels: the VIX fell 9.01% to 25.64. The US 10-year yield stood at 4.859%, up from 4.837%.
Chip stocks in Asia are also in the spotlight after reports that Nvidia is investigating its chief executive Jensen Huang over an alleged China link. That story is covered in our technology report.
Metals rise, dollar softens
Commodities were firmer. Spot gold rose 1.26% to $4,117.34 an ounce, silver climbed 2.15% to $53.06 and copper gained 1.6% to $6.3375 a pound. In energy, Brent crude eased 0.18% to $98.14 a barrel, while WTI added 0.36% to $91.16.
The dollar index slipped 0.13% to 102.17. The yen was little changed, with USD/JPY at 158.32, down 0.07%. The rupiah strengthened slightly, with USD/IDR at 18,083.74, down 0.11%. Elsewhere in currencies, the Australian dollar rose 0.36% to 0.6893 against the US dollar, and EUR/USD was up 0.1% at 1.1154.
In crypto, Bitcoin traded at 74,753.91, up 0.05%, while Ethereum rose 0.6% to 2,137.15 and Solana gained 1.13% to 87.29.
Europe's Friday slide and what to watch
European markets ended last week on a weak note. The DAX fell 1.92% to 25,820.36 on Friday, the FTSE 100 lost 1.01% to 10,673.94 and the CAC 40 dropped 0.81% to 8,139. Those markets reopen later on Monday, and Tokyo's rebound sets a firmer tone for the start.
Singapore's Straits Times index last closed at 5,179.17, down 2.21%, with the data showing Friday's session as the latest available close.
The focus now turns to Wall Street's Monday session. Constellation Energy reports before the open, and The Trade Desk and Take-Two Interactive report after the close. Applied Materials and Cisco report on Thursday, and both are closely watched for the chip and networking sector. Whether Tokyo can hold its gains into the close will be the next test of the rebound, with the yen and US technology shares in focus.
