Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index advanced 1.05% to 50,802.43 on Monday, November 10, 2025, lifted by renewed optimism in global markets as investors bet that the U.S. government shutdown may soon be resolved. The improving external sentiment boosted risk appetite across Asian equities, with Japanese technology and industrial stocks leading the rally.
Mercari, Inc. surged 13.76%, Olympus Corp. climbed 10.29%, and Tokyo Electron rose 4.27%, driving the benchmark index higher. Gains were also seen in auto and export-oriented companies, supported by a softer yen and easing concerns around U.S. fiscal uncertainty.
Investor confidence further strengthened amid expectations that the Bank of Japan will maintain its accommodative stance to support growth. Market participants said that clarity on the U.S. fiscal outlook and steady global demand could sustain the positive momentum in the near term.
At 07:52 AM IST, the Nikkei traded at 50,802.43, up 526 points, marking one of the strongest starts of the week among major Asian markets.
