What's Behind Japan's Stock Rally?

Japanese stocks rose early in the session as the market remained hopeful that the Fed would cut interest rates, following Wall Street's overnight rally. The electronics and technology sectors were the driving force, with Lasertec shares rising 2.8%, Murata Manufacturing up 2.7%, and SoftBank Group also rebounding, rising 2.3% after earlier weakness.

On the currency side, the USD/JPY pair hovered around 156.16, down slightly from 156.74 at the Tokyo market close on Tuesday. Investors also continued to monitor Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's economic policies to gauge the direction of Japan's economic growth going forward. Overall, the Nikkei index rose around 0.9% to 49,119.64. (az)
