Japan’s Nikkei index experienced a remarkable rise of over 2% on Monday, breaking the 70,000 mark for the first time in three months. The surge was largely driven by chip manufacturers like Tokyo Electron and Advantest, while Kioxia’s contribution fell short. The optimistic trend in Japanese stocks was fueled by Wall Street’s strong performance, stemming from weaker US jobs data alleviating rate hike anxieties.
