  • Synopsis:

    • The Tokyo market is poised for a cautious open today. US equities finished mostly lower overnight, driven by selling pressure in semiconductor stocks, mixed banking sector earnings and volatile oil prices. The Dow fell 0.4%, weighed down by mixed earnings from Johnson & Johnson (-5.36%) and Caterpillar (-3.34%). US chip stocks continue to face pressure due to increased competition fears from reports about China's CXMT technology progress in high-density DRAM chip architecture and concerns over AI sector spending. US-Iran tensions continue to underpin oil prices, with WTI holding near $94.65 (+0.97%). Meanwhile, the key focus today is the upcoming release of the US September Consumer Price Index.

    • On the corporate front, Anthropic will unveil its Q3 earnings today; JPMorgan reported Q3 earnings that fell short of market estimates, but raised its FY NII guidance and provided a strong outlook for Q4 and 2027.
