Caught the Japanese market absolutely crushing it today - Nikkei 225 jumped over 4 percent and broke through 56,500. Pretty wild after that three-day losing streak. Wall Street's positive vibes overnight definitely helped set the tone.



What's interesting is the breadth of this rally. Not just a few names carrying it - gains across the board with tech and exporters leading the charge. SoftBank was insane, up nearly 8 percent. Seeing solid moves in the banking sector too, with Mizuho up almost 9 and the other major banks higher as well. Toyota, Honda, the usual suspects in autos all moving up nicely.

Tech stocks are on fire. Advantest jumping 7 percent, Tokyo Electron up over 6, Screen Holdings advancing almost 4. Even the smaller plays like Nippon Electric Glass soaring 11 percent. The export-heavy names are benefiting too - Mitsubishi Electric, Sony, Panasonic all showing strength.

Only real weakness I'm seeing is Kyowa Kirin dropping over 3 percent, but that's basically noise in a day like this. Dollar's holding in the higher 156 yen range, which is also supporting the exporters.

Overall, solid recovery day for the Nikkei. When you're up this much across nearly everything, hard to complain.
