The Nikkei 225 began trading higher in the Tokyo market on the 4th. The opening level was ¥64,498.94, up ¥284.46 from the previous day, with buying led by leading stocks following gains in U.S. stocks.
Long-term U.S. Treasury yields had declined, and the three major U.S. stock indexes rose in the previous day's U.S. stock market. Gains in cyclical stocks and mega-cap tech stocks were particularly notable.
Following gains in both the Japanese and U.S. markets, buying catalysts spread through the Japanese market, and continued buying in the Tokyo market was expected.
