Japan's Nikkei surpassed 50,000 level for the first time at 50,367.38, rising 2.17% due to new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's expected sizable spending. The broader Topix rose 1.72%. Major stocks, including Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Advantest, Hoya, SoftBank Group, and Fast Retailing, saw increased gains. Takaichi's spending policy and meeting with US President Trump are factors in the rally.
