Japan's Nikkei tops 43,000 for first time ever
Japan's Nikkei share average breached the 43,000-mark for the first time today, with the broader Topix index also scaling a fresh all-time peak, tracking Wall Street's overnight gains and extending the rally to a sixth session in a row. The Nikkei gained as much as 1.7% to touch an unprecedented 43,451.46 before ending the day at a record-high closing level of 43,274.67. That took its winning run to 7.4% since August 4. Monday of this week was a national holiday in Japan. The broader Topix advanced as much as 1.2% to a record 3,103.31 points, before finishing at 3,091.91 - also booking a sixth session of gains in a row. Overnight, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq ended at record highs as a moderate reading of July inflation bolstered bets for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut next month. "A sense of relief is permeating through markets following the US consumer price index data, leading Japanese stocks to take a step higher," said Maki Sawada, an equities strategist at Nomura Securities. At the same time, "there are signs that the Nikkei is overheated after its extremely steep rally, and a steep drop at any time wouldn't come as any surprise," she added. Of the Nikkei's 225 components, 151 rose compared to 74 that fell. Tech shares stood out, with chipmaker Renesas Electronics jumping almost 7%, chip-testing equipment maker Advantest rising 5.4% and Sony Group gaining 3.5%. A strong earnings season continued to power big advances for some stocks, with tyre maker Yokohama Rubber vaulting 8.3% to be the Nikkei's biggest percentage gainer.

TUI beats quarterly earnings forecast as new strategy 'paying off'
Europe's largest tour operator TUI has today reported better-than-expected results as summer travel proved more resilient after chief executive Sebastian Ebel previously warned that 2025 could be a "challenging" year for the group. European airlines broadly performed well during the second quarter as concerns about a dip in travel demand appeared to have had a limited impact on results. TUI reported underlying earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of €321m in its quarter ended June 30, compared with the €269m expected by analysts polled by LSEG, and up 38% on the previous year. Revenue in TUI's third quarter across all segments stood at €6.2 billion, gaining 7%. The group raised its full-year profit guidance yesterday, after strong hotel and cruise demand boosted the business so far this year, sending shares up. "The third quarter and the first nine months of the financial year 2025 were strong. Our strategy is paying off," Ebel said in a statement today. The company acknowledged that the environment for its airlines business remained difficult. In the previous quarter, TUI had flagged a slight drop in summer bookings, amid concerns that inflation and macroeconomic worries could weigh on consumer appetite for travel. While there was a 2% decline in summer bookings tied to the Middle East conflict, ticket prices were up 3%, helping to balance out higher costs, according to a media presentation. European travellers, making up the core base of TUI's customers, tend to be more price-sensitive than North American travellers. German bookings were also down 5% due to hot weather, Ebel told reporters on a media call, but added that he expected more customers in the autumn.
