Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 index surged past the 45,000 mark for the first time on September 16, cementing its position as Asia's equity market leader. The index closed 0.3% higher at 44,902.27 after peaking at 45,055.38 during the session. This rally follows positive signals from U.S.-China trade talks and reflects growing investor appetite for non-U.S. markets.

The Topix index mirrored the gains, rising 0.25% to a record 3,168.36. Japanese equities have been propelled by standout performers including Toyota Motor, Hitachi, and Nintendo—the latter boasting a 60% year-to-date surge. This bull run marks a dramatic reversal from Japan's 35-year market stagnation that followed its 1989 peak.

Market observers attribute the resurgence to capital rotation from U.S. markets and anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts. The rally underscores Japan's renewed relevance in global portfolios after decades in the wilderness.
