The Nikkei 225 Index rose 0.2% to 50,521 on Tuesday, marking its third consecutive session of gains, tracking the continued rally on Wall Street. US equities continued to be led by strong performances in technology stocks, with companies such as Oracle and AI bellwether Nvidia driving momentum. Investor interest in Asia, including Japan, has been strengthening as the region is supported by robust growth prospects and strong exposure to globally transformative technologies. In addition, a weaker greenback further boosted the appeal of Asian assets, enhancing returns for dollar-based investors at a time when most Asian currencies are appreciating. Notable performers included Toyota Motor (0.3%), Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (0.7%), Sony Group (2.2%), and Mizuho Financial Group (1.1%).
