Tokyo stocks will likely take a breather next week after volatile trade on eurozone debt concerns and rising tensions on the Korean peninsula, but gains will be limited, dealers said Friday. 'Basic market conditions will remain pretty much the same next week,' said Daisuke Uno, chief market strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. 'But I think Japanese share prices should recover a bit sooner or later because Tokyo stocks have been sold more than they should fundamentally, due to a stronger yen and a downward trend in the global markets,' he said. In the week to May 28, the Tokyo Stock Exchange's headline Nikkei index lost 21.56 points, or 0.22 percent, to 9,762.98. The index plunged to its lowest closing level since November 30 at 9,459.89 on Tuesday. The broader Topix index of all first-section shares declined 1.17 points, or 0.13 percent, to 878.52. Toshihiko Matsuno, senior strategist at SMBC Friend Securities, expected the key index may top 10,000 sometime next week, but not without bouts of selling due to continuing uncertainty over European debt and Japanese exporters trading in the region. The heightened geopolitical risk on the Korean peninsula will also stalk Tokyo market sentiment, Matsuno told Dow Jones Newswires. Sumitomo's Uno said Japanese share prices will likely be more stable next week because Japan is 'considered to be a safe-haven' in light of European financial woes. A stronger dollar against the yen will also help Japanese exporters, who have eyed the recent ascent of the Japanese currency nervously due to its negative impact on overseas earnings if sustained. But he also remained cautious, expecting a range for the Nikkei index between 9,350 and 9,850 next week.
