Japan's Nikkei Advances on Tech and Semiconductor Gains Amid Market Uncertainty
Japan's Nikkei 225 rose over 2% on Monday, led by gains in technology and semiconductor stocks following strong performances in the US market. Key contributors included SoftBank Group, Kioxia Holdings, and Tokyo Electron. The rally was supported by stabilizing bond yields and a firm yen, despite concerns over stronger-than-expected US jobs data raising expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes. Broader market gains were more muted, with financial and consumer sectors underperforming amid uncertainty ahead of the Bank of Japan's policy meeting.
