Japanese Shares Scale Fresh Record Highs

The Nikkei 225 Index jumped 1.4% to above 72,200, while the broader Topix Index gained 1% to 4,085 on Monday, with both benchmarks reaching new record highs as Japanese firms tied to the global artificial intelligence infrastructure boom continued to lead the market higher. Domestic equities advanced despite a rise in oil prices after tensions escalated during the first day of talks between the US and Iran. Investors also awaited the latest Japanese PMI data for clues on economic conditions, along with the Bank of Japan’s Summary of Opinions from its June meeting, where policymakers raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 1%. Among notable gainers, Furukawa Electric jumped 8.7%, Murata Manufacturing rose 6.7%, JX Advanced Metals gained 8%, Ibiden advanced 5.1%, and SoftBank Group added 1.1%.
