Intel stock spikes after report of possible US government stake
Investing.com -- Japan’s Nikkei share average surpassed the 43,000-mark for the first time on Wednesday, reaching a new milestone as the index continued its winning streak.
The benchmark Nikkei gained as much as 1.7% during the session, touching an unprecedented high of 43,451.46 before settling at a record closing level of 43,274.67.
This latest advance extended the Nikkei’s winning run to six consecutive sessions, with the index gaining 7.4% since August 4. Japanese markets were closed on Monday for a national holiday.
The broader Topix index also reached new heights, climbing as much as 1.2% to a record 3,103.31 points before finishing the day at 3,091.91. Like the Nikkei, the Topix marked its sixth straight session of gains.
Both Japanese indexes followed the positive momentum from Wall Street’s overnight performance, continuing their upward trajectory in Wednesday’s trading.
