Nikkei 225 Hits Historic High, Surpassing 1989 Peak

Japan's benchmark index reaches a new milestone, driven by global investor interest and a weak yen.

Japan's Nikkei 225 index surged to an all-time high, breaking its previous record set in December 1989.
The rally was fueled by strong foreign investment, corporate earnings growth, and the yen's weakness against the U.S. dollar.
Analysts highlight the impact of corporate reforms, investment flows from China, and anticipation of BOJ policy changes on the Nikkei's performance.
Despite the historic high, experts remain optimistic about the Nikkei's potential for further gains, citing robust fundamentals and improved corporate governance.
The achievement marks a significant moment for Japan's stock market, signaling a departure from deflation and opening up new possibilities for investors.
