Nikkei Closes Higher Supported by Wall Street Gains

Nikkei closed Thursday’s session slightly higher, supported by positive performance in US markets overnight, as technology stocks led gains in Tokyo.

Trading was cautious due to low liquidity and a lack of strong domestic catalysts, yet the index managed to stay in positive territory thanks to gains in semiconductor and robotics-related shares.

Market participants said the index moved within a narrow range, reflecting a wait-and-see stance among investors amid global economic uncertainties.
