As the Japanese financial markets reopened after the holiday, the Nikkei 225 index surged to a new record high on Thursday, reflecting market optimism about strong earnings reports from technology companies and the possibility of a peace agreement in the Middle East. During the early trading session on Thursday, the Nikkei 225 index rose more than 4%, breaking through 62,000 points for the first time; the TOPIX index also rose more than 2%. Additionally, the strengthening of the Japanese yen since the previous trading day last Friday has boosted market sentiment. Market speculation suggests that Tokyo may have intervened multiple times to support the yen exchange rate.
