The Nikkei 225 Index rose 0.55% to close at 39,678 while the broader Topix Index edged up 0.09% to 2,825 on Tuesday, recouping losses from the previous session, with technology stocks leading the rebound. Those moves came as US stock futures advanced following reports that Nvidia would resume sales of its H20 graphics processing unit to China days after CEO Jensen Huang, who is visiting Beijing, met with President Donald Trump. Domestically, investors remained focused on upcoming trade and inflation data, which may offer new insights into how US tariff threats are impacting Japan’s export-driven economy. Leading tech gainers included Disco (+4.5%), Advantest (+1.8%), Fujikura (+4%), Lasertec (+2.1%), and Tokyo Electron (+3.5%). Consumer and financial names also posted gains, with Fast Retailing up 1.8% and Mitsubishi UFJ adding 0.3%.
