The Nikkei 225 index closed higher on Thursday (October 31, 2025), driven by strong gains in technology and electronics stocks. Positive sentiment emerged after the Bank of Japan maintained its policy interest rate, while a weaker yen boosted the profit prospects of export-based issuers.
Large-cap stocks, including chip, electronics, and internet stocks, led the gains. Investors also assessed the easing of US-China trade tensions following the Trump-Xi meeting, which boosted risk appetite despite not providing long-term certainty.
Overall, the Nikkei closed up around 1% and held at 52.4. Looking ahead, the market will monitor the Japanese government's continued policy steps to boost growth, the yen's movements, and the Fed's signals regarding interest rate policy, which could influence capital flows to risky assets. (Asd)
