Flipitmoney
Japan's Nikkei share average surged past 51,000 at 51,249.82, up 2.05%, driven by investor optimism over AI sector investments, particularly Advantest, which soared 20% after hiking its annual profit forecast, and SoftBank Group, up 2.1%, as US stocks closed at record highs. The broader Topix index edged up less than 0.1%, weighed down by a stronger yen and losses from other non-tech shares.
