The Nikkei 225 Index climbed 0.5% to around 43,690 while the broader Topix Index added 0.4% to 3,135 on Wednesday, rebounding from the prior session’s losses with technology stocks driving gains. Japanese tech shares tracked US peers higher after Oracle surged 28% in extended trading, fueled by a 1,529% jump in multicloud database revenue from Amazon, Google and Microsoft amid strong demand for AI servers. Meanwhile, sharp downward revisions in US jobs data reinforced expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut next week, with some investors betting on a sizable 50 basis point move. On the domestic front, a private survey showed Japanese manufacturers’ sentiment hit a three-year high in September as trade tensions eased following a tariff deal with the US. Among notable movers, SoftBank Group advanced 5.6%, Advantest gained 2.5%, and Disco Corp rose 1.4%.
