Japan’s Nikkei share average rose more than 2% on Monday to a three-month high, driven by gains in artificial intelligence-related stocks following a rally on Wall Street at the end of last week.
The Nikkei rose 2.53% to 70,037.61 by the midday break, its highest level since early July, as per a report by Reuters. The broader Topix gained 1.16% to 4,138.57.
