Nikkei 225 Closes 2.87 Percent Higher at 60,459.58

The Nikkei 225 ended Tuesday, November 10, at 60,459.58, up 1,684.08 points or 2.87 percent from Monday's close of 58,775.50. The Tokyo market finished at 15:30 local time, equivalent to 07:30 Berlin time, well before the configured evening reporting window. The close was reported by Jiji Press.

Technology Shares Lead the Rebound

The benchmark regained the psychologically important 60,000 level for the first time in three trading sessions. Buying focused on artificial intelligence and semiconductor-related companies after US technology stocks recovered sharply in the previous session. The rebound extended a recovery that began Monday after the Nikkei had suffered a heavy technology-led selloff the previous week.

Jiji Press reporting carried by Adnkronos said AI-linked shares including Advantest and SoftBank Group followed the overnight strength of their US peers. Bargain hunting after last week's losses helped broaden demand. The broader TOPIX also advanced, gaining 75.55 points or 1.98 percent to 3,893.71.

Oil Prices Add to Risk Appetite

Investor sentiment was also supported by declining crude oil prices after US President Donald Trump signaled a preference for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict involving Iran. Lower energy prices reduced immediate concerns about renewed inflationary pressure and helped reinforce the recovery in Asian equities.

However, the rebound does not remove the market's central uncertainty. The same Jiji Press report noted that an official at a major securities firm considered it too early to conclude that AI stocks had bottomed, citing persistent questions about the sustainability and profitability of large investments in US data-center operators. That warning is relevant for the Nikkei because technology and semiconductor shares have recently amplified both its gains and its declines.

Sharp Swings Keep Risk Elevated

The close followed a 2.33 percent gain on Monday and partially reversed the previous week's losses, but the sequence also highlights the index's sensitivity to US technology valuations, AI-investment expectations and geopolitical developments. Tuesday's advance therefore represents a strong short-term recovery rather than clear evidence that volatility has ended. Investors will continue to assess whether semiconductor demand and AI spending can justify elevated capital requirements while monitoring oil prices and global interest-rate expectations.
