SoftBank Group, which received investment from US AI, is leading the way.

The Nikkei average rose significantly for three consecutive days. With an increase of 618.27 yen, it closed at 39,646.25 yen (estimated Volume of 1.7 billion 50 million shares), recovering to the 39,600 yen level for the first time since the 9th. The rise in major stock market indices in the USA the previous day was well received, in addition to President Trump's announcement that SoftBank Group <9984>, OpenAI, and Oracle Corp would together invest 500 billion dollars (approximately 78 trillion yen) in the next four years to develop AI-related infrastructure such as Datacenter in the USA.

The Nikkei average rises for three consecutive days as expectations strengthen for Trump's economic policies.

On the 21st, the US Stocks market continued to rise. The Dow Inc average gained $537.98 to close at $44,025.81, while the Nasdaq increased by 126.58 points to finish at 19,756.78. After the opening, expectations grew that the tariff measures from the Trump administration would not be strengthened as feared, which contributed to the rise. Reports of large-scale AI infrastructure investments from three private companies, including SoftBank Group <9984>, also served as positive material, leading to further gains. The decline in interest rates and the rise of Semiconductors NVIDIA, as well as the search engine Google operated by Alfu, contributed to this upward trend.

No longer want to spend money! Microsoft is no longer the exclusive cloud provider for OpenAI.

Microsoft is making slow progress in building new Datacenters, prompting OpenAI to reach a partnership agreement with Oracle, which may be the reason why Microsoft is no longer the exclusive Cloud Computing Service provider for OpenAI. However, Microsoft still retains the "right of first refusal" for OpenAI's new Cloud Computing Service agreement.
