In a continuation of previous gains, Japan’s Nikkei share average saw a second consecutive rise on Wednesday. The index was heading towards its highest close for the month, driven by a surge in chip stocks. Investors were optimistic about monetary policy as they anticipated a more dovish stance from the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Chip stocks played a significant role in the market rally, with investors betting on a more accommodative approach by the Federal Reserve. This sentiment was fueled by expectations of potential interest rate cuts and further stimulus measures. The rise in the Nikkei share average indicated renewed confidence among investors, as they sought to capitalize on the positive outlook for the semiconductor industry. With the chip stocks leading the way, the Japanese market was poised for a strong finish to the month.
