The Nikkei average has risen for three consecutive days, with Semiconductors stocks being bought, but the stronger yen is a burden.

On the 5th, the Dow Inc average in the USA rose by 317.24 points to 44,873.28, while the Nasdaq closed up by 38.31 points at 19,692.33 points. Concerns over Alphabet's disappointing earnings, which operates Google, led to selling in the tech sector, resulting in mixed performances after the market opened. The Nasdaq was weighed down by Alphabet's decline, but gains in the semiconductor NVIDIA offset this, and it recovered to positive territory towards the end. The Dow was buoyed by expectations of additional interest rate cuts, with lower interest rates and a weaker dollar driving buying activity.

The Nikkei average fell for the first time in four days, with concerns over Trump tariffs leading to a significant drop of over 1,000 yen.

Last weekend, in the USA market, the Dow Inc average ended at 44,544.66 dollars, down 337.47 dollars, while the Nasdaq closed at 19,627.44, down 54.31 points. The PCE core price index surprised no one, and after the opening, it rose due to lower interest rates. Reports that tariffs by the Trump administration would be postponed until March were well received, leading to further gains. However, caution grew after a government spokesperson denied the report and clarified that the plan to impose tariffs starting February 1 remained unchanged.
