TOPIX Hits All-Time High above 3,000 Amid U.S. Tariff Relief
TOKYO (Jiji Press) — Tokyo stocks soared on Friday, with the broad-based TOPIX index finishing above 3,000 for the first time ever, amid relief that the United States will comply with its tariff agreement with Japan. The TOPIX climbed 36.29 points, or 1.21%, from Thursday to end at an all-time closing high of 3,024.21. The benchmark Nikkei 225 average closed at 41,820.48, up 761.33 points, or 1.85%, after briefly surpassing 42,000. Both indexes advanced for the fourth straight trading day. The overnight strength of U.S. technology stocks added to the positive sentiment, boosting Japanese tech names such as SoftBank Group, which also benefitted from its strong April-June earnings report released Thursday, and Advantest. An official at a bank-affiliated securities firm said that there was little selling on rally because many issues hit record highs. 'It seemed that many foreign traders did not want to miss out on the opportunity to buy Japanese stocks,' said an official at a Japanese brokerage firm.

Nikkei slips on tech investment concern
TOKYO: Japan's Nikkei share average slid on Friday, dragged lower by chip-related stocks on concerns about continued investments by major tech players. Shortly before Asian markets opened, US President Donald Trump slapped dozens of trading partners with steep tariffs, further damping demand for risk assets. Tech heavyweight Tokyo Electron plunged 18%, the most in almost a year, after the chip equipment maker slashed its profit forecast, citing changes in spending plans by semiconductor companies. Chip-testing equipment maker Advantest dropped 1.3%. The Nikkei 225 Index closed 0.6% lower, capping off a weekly decline of 1.6%. The broader Topix edged up 0.2%, largely on the back of gains in utility stocks. US shares slid overnight, with artificial intelligence-related companies such as Nvidia weighing on the PHLX semiconductor index. 'Semiconductor-related stocks with high price-to-book ratios started with a selling bias,' said Maki Sawada, an equities strategist at Nomura Securities.
