The surge in artificial intelligence drives the Nikkei index to rise

Due to the artificial intelligence boom offsetting concerns about the situation in the Middle East, the Japanese stock market rebounded, with the Nikkei 225 index rising by 0.35% and the Topix index increasing by about 0.24%. Nomura Securities strategists stated that the high-density fiber optic agreement between Verizon and Corning boosted market confidence. The strengthening yen is expected to prompt the Bank of Japan to accelerate interest rate hikes, and Sony financial analysts noted that the market may shift towards buying on dips.
