Japan Stock Market Index (JP225) - Summary

The Nikkei 225 Index climbed 2.08% to close at 66,970 while the broader Topix Index advanced 0.63% to 4,101 on Monday, with Japanese equities reaching multi-week highs and following Wall Street higher after weaker-than-expected US jobs data reduced expectations for a near-term Federal Reserve interest rate hike. Investors also remained focused on developments in the Middle East as Iran denied holding direct negotiations with the US, despite Washington’s claims that a deal was close. Domestically, data showed Japan’s current account surplus narrowed in June, as strong exports of AI-related electronics were offset by a rise in imports amid increased crude oil purchases. Chipmakers and AI-linked stocks spearheaded the gains, with Fujikura (7.6%), Furukawa Electric (2.5%), Advantest (6.4%), Ibiden Co (4%) and Tokyo Electron (4.1%) posting notable advances. Consumer stocks also performed well, while financial stocks slumped. Japanese markets will be closed on Tuesday for a holiday.
