Nikkei 225 Index Surges to New Record High Amid Yen Weakness

Japan’s stock market experienced a historic milestone today as the Nikkei 225 Index soared to a new record high, fueled by a weakening yen and decreased concerns about US tariffs on earnings. This surge follows a trend of other major global stock indices breaking records this year, highlighting continued economic strength. The index hit an unprecedented peak of 42,613.63 points, surpassing the previous record set on July 11th, 2024. Earlier in 2024, the Nikkei 225 also broke through its historical mark from Japan’s economic bubble period in 1989.
