With prominent outperformance, the semiconductor sector has drawn widespread attention from investors. "In the first half of this year, over 50% of moomoo global clients traded semiconductor stocks or ETFs," Mr. Izawa noted in his speech at summit, "In Japan, over 55% of the total ETF trading volume came from this particular sector. Even during the market pullback in early August, nearly 90% of investors remained confident in the semiconductor industry, keeping trading activities high throughout the month."

AI enthusiasm also fueled a surge in US stocks, with the Japanese market experiencing significant growth in US stocks trading volume, according to the Q2 2024 financial report of moomoo's parent company.
