The Nikkei index rose 0.7 percent to 49,523.98. The rise was driven by hopes that Sanae Takaichi, who is rumored to be the new prime minister, would prepare measures to support the economy. This sentiment helped the market recover after volatile trading.
Electronics stocks led the rally. Renesas Electronics rose around 4.1 percent and TDK added 2.8 percent. Buying interest was seen in semiconductor and component companies, along with expectations of pro-growth policies and investment incentives in the technology sector.
In the foreign exchange market, the US dollar exchange rate against the yen was around 150.61, nearly the same as Monday's Tokyo close of 150.66. Stable currency movements are seen as boosting the prospects for technology-based exporters and maintaining risk appetite.
Looking ahead, investors await details of Sanae Takaichi's policy measures, including fiscal support, investment incentives, and energy cost policies. The market will also be closely monitoring the performance reporting season and global developments that could impact Japan's external demand. (asd)
