Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average Rises 83 Points (Update1)
13:19 JST, October 4, 2024 (updated at 16:10 JST)
Japan’s Nikkei stock average closed 83.56 points higher than Thursday at 38,635.62 points.
Concerns over the worsening situation in the Middle East have led to a rise in crude oil prices, and energy-related stocks such as oil and mining are also rising. On the other hand, semiconductor-related stocks, which rose the previous day, are falling noticeably.
However, the release of U.S. employment statistics, which will influence the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, are scheduled for Friday evening, causing investors to adopt a wait-and-see attitude.
The broader Topix finished up 10.36 points at 2694.07.
