‍# Nikkei 225 Index Hits New Highs
Following the new highs in the Korean stock market, the neighboring main board market also reached new highs today. What is driving the stock price increase? How does it affect the large A-shares? When can we expect new highs? Let’s take a look:

1. This historic high was not driven by a single factor but is the result of three positive factors converging:

‌External sentiment and risk appetite boost‌: Market expectations that the US and Iran will soon reach a ceasefire agreement, significantly easing Middle Eastern geopolitical risks, leading to a collective warming of global risk assets, with substantial foreign capital inflows into the Japanese stock market; at the same time, last Friday’s US major indices rose collectively, providing a positive boost to Asia-Pacific markets.

‌Technology sector leading the rally‌: AI and semiconductor sectors continue to be hot, becoming the core engines of this round of gains—global semiconductor equipment leader Advantest surged over 6%, lithography inspection company Lasertec jumped over 11%, SoftBank Group’s AI investment return expectations increased over 6%, and heavyweight tech stocks collectively gained, directly pushing the index higher.

‌Sustained support from long-term funds‌: In recent years, Japan’s stock market has continuously attracted overseas passive funds, combined with domestic corporate buybacks boosting confidence. The bull market foundation has been steadily built, and this breakout is a natural inertia-driven surge after sentiment reaches its peak.

2. Specific impact on A-shares

This new high in the Nikkei index mainly influences A-shares through‌ short-term sentiment transmission‌ and will not change A-shares’ own trend:

‌Positive sentiment boost‌: The overall risk appetite in Asia-Pacific markets is rising, which will drive a follow-the-leader sentiment in A-shares’ technology sectors (especially semiconductors and AI sectors). Today’s opening saw the three major A-share indices all gapping higher, with semiconductor-related MLCCs and copper-clad laminate concepts leading the gains, consistent with the linkage pattern.

‌No substantive trend-driven movement‌: The core of the Nikkei’s current rise is driven by Japan’s domestic tech heavyweight stocks and overseas capital allocation, which are completely independent of A-shares’ market structure and capital logic. It will not alter A-shares’ fundamental pattern, making it unlikely to trigger a trend-based rally.

‌Structural linkage opportunities‌: Only in the technology sectors will there be localized linkages—such as the sharp rise in the semiconductor sector in the Nikkei—strengthening A-shares’ confidence in long positions on AI and semiconductors. Related sectors are more likely to attract short-term capital chasing gains, but intra-sector differentiation will still persist. $FUTU $PDD
