Tokyo, Jan. 5 (Jiji Press)–Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 stock average jumped over 1,400 points in morning trading Monday, the first trading day of 2026 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, led by gains in semiconductor-related shares. At 10:34 a.m., the index of 225 selected issues listed on the TSE’s Prime section rose 1,477.24 points, or 2.93 pct, from Tuesday, the final trading day of 2025, to 51,816.72. A broad range of Tokyo stocks attracted purchases after chip- and artificial intelligence-related shares drew demand in the U.S. market late last week, market sources said. There was apparently little reaction in the Tokyo market on Monday morning to the U.S. military operations against Venezuela on Saturday. END [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.]
