Earlier in the session, the index reached 63,385. This means that, following May 7, it once again crossed the 63,000 threshold, setting a new intraday record high in just two trading days.



According to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Nikkei), "Last weekend, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX), which is made up of semiconductor-related stocks in the U.S. market, hit an all-time high, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index also set a new record. In the Tokyo stock market, buying momentum has been focused on AI semiconductor-related stocks, but declines in shares such as SoftBank Group have limited the index's gains."
