日经225指数周四上涨0.7%,至48000点左右,而更广泛的东证指数周四上涨0.8%,至3210点,延续了前一交易日的涨幅,因为投资者应对了日本的政治不确定性,而强劲的财报季保持了股市的势头。执政的自民党提议在10月21日举行新首相选举,尽管反对党尚未就日期达成一致,这使得自民党的高一真惠的前景尚不明朗。财报季开局稳健也提振了市场情绪,这得益于对美国降息的预期和对人工智能的持续需求。其中,软银集团(4.8%)、铠侠控股(6.8%)、三菱重工(3.2%)、东京电子(3.1%)和藤仓(2.4%)涨幅较大。
The Nikkei 225 Index rose 0.7% to around 48,000 while the broader Topix Index added 0.8% to 3,210 on Thursday, extending gains from the previous session as investors navigated political uncertainty in Japan, while a strong earnings season kept the momentum in stocks. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party proposed holding a vote for a new prime minister on Oct. 21, though opposition parties have yet to agree on the date, keeping the outlook for LDP’s Sanae Takaichi unclear. Sentiment was also lifted by a solid start to the earnings season, bolstered by expectations of US rate cuts and sustained demand for artificial intelligence. Among notable gainers were SoftBank Group (4.8%), Kioxia Holdings (6.8%), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (3.2%), Tokyo Electron (3.1%), and Fujikura (2.4%).
