Today’s New York Dow continued to rise from last weekend, rising about $171. The Nasdaq and yesterday’s Nikkei also rose significantly. Expectations for a recovery in the Chinese economy due to the U.S. Fed’s easing of interest rate hikes and the abolishment of the zero-corona policy appear to have supported the stock market.

From this week, IT and high-tech companies such as Microsoft (24th), Tesla (25th), Apple (2nd February), and Amazon (2nd February) will announce their financial results. The high-tech industry tends to reduce costs due to the effects of interest rate hikes and inflation. Last week, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, followed Amazon and Meta in announcing significant job cuts.

Microsoft also announced last week plans to lay off 10,000 people worldwide. On the other hand, the company will strengthen its investment in artificial intelligence, which is a strategic area of ??focus, and will invest $ 10 billion over the next few years in OpenAI, which developed the conversational AI model “ChatGPT” on the 23rd before the announcement of the financial results. Officially announced the plan. There is a background to investing in OpenAI in 2019 and 2021. An upgraded version of ChatGPT, GPT-4, is scheduled to be released this spring.

USD/JPY: 130.6 +0.95%

The dollar-yen exchange rate is 1 dollar = 130.6 yen, +0.95%. As previously announced yesterday, the Bank of Japan implemented a 5-year pooled collateral funding operation of 1 trillion yen, and the yield on newly issued 10-year government bonds fell to 0.375% against the maximum allowable limit of 0.50%, resulting in yen selling. Rising U.S. Treasury yields also appear to have led to dollar buybacks.
