Closing at 54,720 on the 3rd...up 3.92%
The Nikkei 225, Japan's benchmark stock index, hit an all-time closing high on the 3rd.
On this day, the Nikkei 225 closed at 54,720, up 3.92% from the previous day's close, surpassing the previous record closing high set on the 14th. During intraday trading, it even reached 54,782. This was the result of a rise in the U.S. stock market overnight and the positive impact of the weak yen.
The Japanese business daily Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported that "buying spread mainly in export-related and semiconductor-related stocks," and explained that "the yen's weakness came as the market interpreted Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks as tolerating a weaker yen."
