The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average rose 582.90 points, or 1.36 percent, from Tuesday to 43,301.07.
The broader Topix index, meanwhile, ended the morning up 27.48 points, or 0.90 percent, at 3,093.85, as per media reports.

Noel Tata, who became chairman of Tata Trusts in October 2024, was nominated to the Tata Sons Board by the trusts and appointed an additional director last year. Tata Sons shareholders have also approved the reappointment of Venu Srinivasan and Saurabh Agrawal, as well as appointed Anita Marangoly George, the co-founder and CEO of emerging-markets growth fund Prosperete, as an independent director. Noel Tata is the son of Naval Hormusji Tata and his second wife Simone Tata, a former chairperson of Lakmé, a well-known beauty and cosmetics brand which was later sold to Hindustan Lever. Noel Tata graduated from the University of Sussex in the UK and also pursued an advanced management programme at INSEAD, France, which provided him with a strong educational background in business management. Noel Tata's last executive assignment was as the Managing Director of Tata International Limited, the trading and distribution arm of the Tata Group, between August 2010 and November 2021, where he grew the company from a turnover of 500 million dollars to over 3 billion dollars. Prior to his stint at Tata International, Noel Tata served as the Managing Director of Trent Limited for more than 11 years, where he oversaw the growth of Trent across formats – from a one store operation in 1998 to a network of more than 800 stores across formats.

Secondary tariffs could go up against India if things don't go well in Alaska : US Treasury Sec
New Delhi, Aug 14 (UNI) Unites States has warned of increasing secondary tariffs against India depending upon the outcome of the Alaska meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump tomorrow. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in an interview with Bloomberg TV, said the decision would depend on the outcome of the Alaska meeting. "We've put secondary tariffs on Indians for buying Russian oil. And I could see, If things don't go well, then sanctions or secondary tariffs could go up," Bessent said in the interview yesterday. 'It looks like he may be ready to negotiate and we put secondary tariffs on India, on the Indians, for buying Russian oil. And I could see if things don't go well, then sanctions or secondary tariffs could go up,' he said. Asked what about China who are the 'main purchasers of Russian crude,' Bessent said he is not going to get ahead of the President (Trump) but the President is best at 'creating leverage for himself.' President Trump will make it clear to President Putin that all options are on the table and 'sanctions can go up or they can also be loosened.' 'They can have a definitive life. They can go in indefinitely,' he said while asking Europeans to join the US in sanctions. UNI RB
