Japan's Nikkei index experienced notable movements recently, with slight gains attributed to profit-taking and the fluctuating yen. Following this, Tokyo stocks opened higher, particularly tech shares, mirroring gains in the US. The Nikkei led Asia higher as the yen weakened and demand for commodities rose. A brief rise of 2% in the Nikkei was observed, driven by bargain hunting and tech sector gains. This sharp increase came after a period of profit-taking in the new fiscal year, further buoyed by domestic investors purchasing stocks.
