Tokyo stocks open lower for second straight session as rising interest rates in Japan and U.S. weigh on sentiment
Tokyo stocks opened lower on Sept. 1, with the Nikkei Stock Average falling 426 points from the previous session to 65,885 at the open for a second straight decline.
European equity markets were broadly weak yesterday, while major U.S. stock indices including the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted losses. Rising crude oil prices driven by Middle East tensions pushed U.S. long-term yields higher, heightening equity valuation concerns. In Tokyo, upward pressure on long-term yields continued to weigh on buying appetite. However, the TOPIX extended gains to an eighth straight session yesterday, reflecting sustained stock-picking interest, and the Nikkei may find dip-buying support after an initial sell-off. Solid gains in U.S. semiconductor stocks yesterday are also seen as a potential catalyst.
