The Nikkei 225 opened on the 25th at ¥65,639.62, up ¥125.63 from the previous day. U.S. equities finished mixed, with concerns over a prolonged rise in crude oil prices and vigilance over higher interest rates influencing the market. Buying led trading in the Tokyo stock market, while the listing of レイヤード on the TSE Standard Market was among the reported catalysts. Stocks accounting for the highest trading values included Komatsu, Mizuho Financial Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group.
By sector, banking, pharmaceuticals, mining, marine transportation, and securities and commodity futures ranked among the top gainers, while information and communications, rubber products, textiles, chemicals, and glass and ceramics products were among the top decliners. Although the Nikkei 225 remained near the previous day's high, resistance around the 75-day moving average was also in focus. In today's trading, Komatsu, Mizuho Financial Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group rose, while Shimizu Corporation, Socionext and FANUC declined.
