Two themes may shape Japan’s stock market this autumn
Japan’s stock market reached a record closing high of 72,366 on June 25, after setting new highs repeatedly in late June.
The outlook for the autumn is described as unsettled.
Two themes are expected to be central: whether leadership shifts among AI-related stocks, and how shares that benefit from rising interest rates perform.
A shift in which stocks lead could change the market’s direction.
The performance of interest-rate beneficiaries is another factor to watch as rates rise.
Together, these trends may help shape the market through the end of the year.
The outlook does not say whether Japanese stocks will rise overall.
