JP 225 declines: correction within the ascending channel exceeds 6.5%

AI investment and industrial demand support the Japanese economy, but the JP 225 is forming a downward wave, with the price currently hovering at 64,656.0.

JP 225 forecast: key takeaways

• Japan’s household spending fell by 3.1% year-on-year
• Rising US government bond yields are reducing investor demand for risk assets worldwide
• JP 225 forecast for 15 October 2026: 62,675.0

Fundamental analysis

Household spending data for Japan released on 9 October 2026 indicates that domestic demand remains weak, despite some improvement compared to the previous month and analysts' expectations. In August, Japanese households' spending fell by 3.1% year-on-year in real terms, against a projected decline of 3.5%.

For the Japanese stock index JP 225, the data has mixed implications. On the one hand, the better-than-expected result could provide moderate support to market sentiment, as it indicates a smaller deterioration in consumer activity than previously anticipated.

US Tech enters a downtrend

The US Tech has shifted into a downtrend following the release of US inflation data and concerns about revenue growth in the AI sector. The price currently stands at 29,920.

US Tech forecast: key takeaways

• Yields on 30-year US Treasury bonds have begun to decline thanks to demand from the US Treasury
• The US Consumer Price Index rose by 3.7% year-on-year
• US Tech forecast for 16 October 2026: 28,175

Fundamental analysis

US consumer inflation data for September 2026, released on 14 October, creates a largely negative outlook for the US stock market, particularly the technology sector and the US Tech index. Annual CPI accelerated from 3.4% to 3.7%, exceeding analysts' forecast of 3.6%. Month-on-month inflation came in at 0.6%, in line with expectations but significantly higher than August's 0.4% reading.

The published figures could have the greatest impact on the US Tech index, as technology companies are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates and US Treasury yields.
