Global financial markets follow movements around the world, and the Nikkei index is no exception. On Thursday, the index closed on a positive note.
Reports about the growth of earnings from the Chinese company Deep Seik – a non-public application using artificial intelligence – sparked interest from investors in the stocks of chip companies.
Starting trading down 0.28%, the Nikkei fluctuates between slight gains and losses during the session. Shishi Suzuki, the leading analyst at the Tokai Institute of the fundamental market in Tokyo, stated: "The surprise from Deep Seik did not completely disappear, but investors are reacting positively to the Adventist forecast."
Strong performance of Nasdaq futures in Asian markets supported the Nikkei, which rose by 0.25% and closed at 39,513.97 points.
