In morning trading on 5 October 2026, the Tokyo Stock Price Index temporarily recovered to ¥70,000, rising to a level not seen in three months. Buying spread to the domestic market against a backdrop of strong gains in US stocks, and investor interest began to pick up again.
Technology stocks led the market, with buying prevailing mainly in IT-related names. Factors related to already announced corporate results and earnings outlooks were cited as possible drivers of the market's rise.
