Finance & Economics

Japan's Nikkei share average closed at 38,460.08, marking a 2.4% increase and maintaining levels above 38,000 points. The tech-related shares trend, along with positive earnings in the U.S., contributed to the rise. Factors such as geopolitical concerns and profit-taking had caused fluctuations earlier. Export shares benefited from a weaker yen, with Toyota Motor rising 3.1%. Chip-related stocks, including Tokyo Electron and Advantest, made notable gains. Risks are anticipated during the U.S. earnings season, especially for big tech companies.
