According to CoinMeta, the Nikkei 225 index rose for the third consecutive trading day, as relevant data and corporate financial reports reignited some optimism in the heavily impacted artificial intelligence sector. A survey released by Reuters on Wednesday showed that Japan's manufacturing confidence index in November rose to its highest level in over five years, driven by strong demand for semiconductors, which supported the overall optimistic sentiment in the market. Despite the decline in U.S. stocks overnight, AI cloud computing company CoreWeave announced after the market closed that it expects to achieve adjusted profits in the first half of 2028. Akayama Wataru, a stock strategist at Nomura Securities, said that investors are now looking forward to the third-quarter financial reports of AI benchmark company NVIDIA next week. If the financial reports are strong enough to dispel market concerns about the profitability of these artificial intelligence and semiconductor-related stocks, then this positive impact is likely to extend to Japan's major artificial intelligence-related companies as well, which could become one of the catalysts for a rebound in stock prices.
