Nikkei Tops 70,000 for First Time Since July on AI, Tech Stocks

Theo Kyodo News

Japan's Nikkei index closed above 70,000 points on Tuesday, its first close above that threshold since early July. The gain was driven by investor optimism around AI and semiconductor stocks, which led market sentiment. The move signals renewed inflows into technology shares after a stretch of volatility.

Japan's Nikkei stock index closed above 70,000 points on Tuesday, marking the first time since early July that the benchmark has cleared that level.

Market participants attributed the advance to investor optimism over artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductor-related shares, the group that drove trading sentiment during the session.

The Nikkei's return above 70,000 points reflects a recovery in flows into technology stocks following an earlier period of volatility.
