what happened
Nikkei futures traded on the SGX were up 1.5% at 63185, according to Market Talk. The outlet said Anthropic's IPO paperwork helped calm concerns that artificial intelligence stocks had become overvalued, lifting sentiment toward Japanese equities.
The dollar bought 157.54 yen, versus 156.98 at Monday's Tokyo close. On Monday the Nikkei Stock Average slipped 0.8% to 62189.65. Investors are also turning to quarterly earnings, with Japan Exchange Group due to report later on Tuesday as the reporting season gets under way.
why it matters
Two factors matter most for Japan's market: the performance of AI-linked shares and the yen exchange rate. A weaker yen against the dollar makes exporters more competitive and supports the Nikkei, while a stronger yen typically weighs on their profits. Results from Japan Exchange Group and other companies in the coming days will show how durable the rally is amid AI-related news.
