The Nikkei average continued to rise significantly for six consecutive trading days, closing up 406.92 yen at 36,452.30 yen (Volume estimated at 1.8 billion 60 million shares). Amid the sharp surge in the after-hours trading of U.S. Microsoft and Meta Platforms Inc, buying started to lead in the Tokyo market, particularly in the Semiconductors sector. Additionally, the depreciation of the yen to the 144 yen level against the dollar following the announcement of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy decision was also viewed as favorable, increasing the number of export-related stocks that gained in value.
