The Nikkei index rose as buying pressure at low levels boosted the market.

The Japanese stock market had fallen for three consecutive trading days before being boosted by bargain hunting, and the country's stock market may rise. However, concerns about overvaluation of artificial intelligence before Nvidia announces its performance later today may curb the stock market's gains. The Nikkei index futures on the Singapore Exchange rose 385 points to 48,905 points.
