Semiconductor equipment makers including ADVANTEST rally on SOX index surge to record high

Semiconductor equipment makers, including ADVANTEST CORPORATION <6857>, DISCO CORPORATION <6146>, Tokyo Electron Limited <8035>, and Lasertec Corporation <6920>, rebounded across the board. On Wall Street the previous day, widespread buying centered on major semiconductor shares drove the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) 5.5% higher to a record high. While Tokyo semiconductor shares faced profit-taking the previous day, they tracked the positive sentiment from the U.S. market today, triggering active bargain hunting. In particular, heavyweights with large contributions to the Nikkei Average, such as ADVANTEST, are prominent among semiconductor-related shares, exerting an upward push on the index.
