The Nikkei 225 briefly gained more than ¥900 and reclaimed the 64,000 level for the first time in about a week. Following gains in AI and semiconductor stocks in the previous day's US market, the Tokyo market followed suit, with earnings reports from major companies drawing attention this week.
The Nikkei 225 gained more than ¥900 after trading began, reclaiming the 64,000 level for the first time in about a week. The index rose again today following the gains on the 27th, moving above 64,000 for the first time since the 22nd.
The Tokyo market was supported by buying following gains in AI-related and semiconductor stocks in the previous day's New York market. Market participants said that concerns about massive investment in AI-related companies had eased but had not been completely dispelled.
