- The Nikkei 225 closed at 60,459.58 on November 10, gaining 1,684.08 points, or 2.87 percent.
- AI-related shares, including Advantest and SoftBank Group, led the recovery after last week's sharp technology sell-off.
- Falling crude oil prices supported sentiment, although concerns about the sustainability of data-center investment remain.
The Nikkei 225 ended Tuesday's Tokyo session at 60,459.58, up 1,684.08 points, or 2.87 percent, from Monday's close of 58,775.50. The benchmark recovered above 60,000 after last week's steep technology-led sell-off.
The closing level and daily change were reported by Jiji Press. The broader TOPIX also advanced, rising 75.55 points, or 1.98 percent, to 3,893.71.
AI shares lead the recovery
AI-related stocks were at the center of the rebound. According to Adnkronos, citing Jiji Press, Advantest and SoftBank Group followed overnight gains in their US peers. Bargain hunting after the recent losses helped lift demand for technology shares.
The move was a recovery rather than a clear resolution of the valuation debate. A securities-firm official cited by Jiji Press cautioned that it was too early to conclude that AI stocks had bottomed, pointing to continuing questions about the sustainability and profitability of large investments in US data-center operators. For investors, this leaves the index sensitive to further moves in global technology shares.
Oil prices add support
Sentiment also benefited from falling crude oil prices after US President Donald Trump signaled a preference for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict involving Iran, according to the same Jiji Press report. The lower oil market reduced one source of pressure on risk assets, although the Nikkei's advance remained concentrated in areas that had been hit hardest during the previous sell-off.
The session's gain restored the 60,000 threshold, but the rebound should be viewed in the context of the index's recent volatility. The next direction will depend in part on whether semiconductor and other AI-linked shares can extend their recovery without renewed concerns about regulation, capital spending or profitability.
