The Nikkei 225 Index rose 0.5% to around 37,350 while the broader Topix Index added 0.3% to 2,744 on Monday, extending gains from the previous session as market sentiment was buoyed by US President Donald Trump's decision to delay the implementation of 50% tariffs on the EU.
A retreat in the safe-haven yen also supported Japanese shares by easing currency-related pressure on exporters. Meanwhile, investors continued to monitor the Bank of Japan's policy outlook, with expectations growing that the central bank will raise interest rates further in response to persistent inflation.
Industrial and technology stocks led the rally, with notable gains from Kawasaki Heavy (2.2%), Nippon Steel (4.9%), IHI Corp (0.7%), Disco (1.1%), Advantest (1.5%), and Tokyo Electron (1.7%).
