Japan’s Nikkei share average climbed to a more than six-week high on Thursday, supported by gains in heavily weighted chip-related stocks after strong earnings guidance from Micron Technology boosted optimism over continued investment in artificial intelligence, Reuters reported.
The Nikkei 225 rose 2.28% to 68,276.92, its highest level since August 18. The broader Topix was largely unchanged, edging 0.03% higher at 4,109.40.
