📈 BREAKING: đŸ‡ŻđŸ‡” Japan Stocks Rip +1.8% as Tokyo Returns From Holiday
Nikkei 225 jumps to around 66,200.
Roughly „21 trillion ($135B) reportedly added to Japanese stocks in a single session.
The fuel is chips again.
Friday's rebound was led by Advantest, Lasertec and the semiconductor bloc, and that bid came right back after the long weekend.
It also landed just days after the Bank of Japan hiked rates to 1.25%. Markets absorbed the hike without panic, and that is the part worth noticing.
Still not a record, though.
The June all-time high sits above, and September opened near these exact levels before sliding to 63,484. This is a recovery, not a breakout yet.
For crypto, Japan matters more than most think. A calm BOJ means a calm yen carry trade, the cheap-yen borrowing that funds risk bets worldwide. When it unwinds, Bitcoin feels it first. Right now it is quiet.
Watch the yen and any fresh BOJ tightening hints next.
Not financial advice.
