Summary
72,366.34 marked a new record for Japan’s Nikkei Average as investors piled into AI- and semiconductor-related shares.
That rally came as Japanese markets also watched the yen, with concern building that it could weaken beyond levels not seen in about 40 years.
The record high was highlighted as one of the week’s key market themes, underscoring how tech-led buying is driving Japan’s equity momentum even as currency risks stay in focus.
