Japan's Nikkei index rose 0.7% to 50,211.09, driven primarily by shares of chip and industrial robot manufacturers. Renesas Electronics surged 7.1% and Fanuc rose 5.8%, providing a strong boost to the market, as the technology and robotics sectors are considered important drivers of the Japanese economy going forward. This rise occurred despite signs of a weakening labor market in the United States. Meanwhile, USD/JPY was hovering around 155.15, slightly weaker than its previous close of 155.52. Investors are now focused on Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's policy moves and Japanese domestic economic data to determine whether the Nikkei's rally can continue or is starting to lose steam. (asd)
