<p>The frenzy reigns at the Tokyo Stock Exchange as the star index, the Nikkei 225, breaches <strong>the 40,000-point mark for the first time at the opening</strong>, ending the day at 40,109 points, thereby recording <strong>a rise of 0.5%</strong>.</p>

<p>The vitality of the Japanese market is fueled by <strong>several factors, notably the persistent weakness of the yen, boosting the profits of Japanese companies abroad</strong> while making their stocks attractive to foreign investors. Moreover, Japanese companies are now rewarding their shareholders more with <strong>generous dividends and more frequent share buyback programs</strong>. Finally, the <strong><a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/stock-market-china-in-free-fall-with-a-staggering-loss-of-6-trillion-dollars/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">unstable situation of the Chinese financial markets</a></strong> is leading investors to look for alternatives, thus benefiting the Tokyo Stock Exchange.</p>
<p>“<em>We believe that Japan will be one of the most performing markets between 2023 and 2030. The big story of the return for shareholders in Japan has begun</em>,” comment the analysts at Jefferies in a research report published yesterday quoted by <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/04/business/japans-nikkei-surpasses-40000-china-stocks-npc-intl-hnk/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CNN</a>.</p>
<p>This Monday, the upward trend of the Nikkei is boosted by the <strong>impressive performances of technology stocks</strong>, following the momentum of Wall Street and particularly the <strong>performance of Nvidia</strong>, which recently passed the $2 trillion market capitalization mark. The <strong>Japanese semiconductor companies</strong>, such as Tokyo Electron and Advantest, have also contributed to the rise, with respective gains of 2.4% and 3.7%.</p>
<p>The optimism around semiconductors has also energized the Taiwanese stock market, where the benchmark index reached a record level, driven by <strong>the performances of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company</strong>. The world’s largest contract chipmaker saw a 5.2% increase, reaching its all-time high.</p>
<h2 id="china-in-waiting-investors-eyes-on-the-national-people-s-congress">China in Waiting: Investors’ Eyes on the National People’s Congress</h2>
<p><strong>Chinese stocks make modest gains</strong>, with investors hanging on the upcoming decisions of the <strong>National People’s Congress</strong>. This annual meeting, which brings together <strong>3,000 delegates in Beijing</strong>, is expected to unveil <strong>growth objectives for 2024</strong> as well as potential economic stimulus measures. The markets are holding their breath before the announcement of these crucial directions.</p>
<p>As for the Tokyo Stock Exchange, it has already set several record levels in recent months, even eclipsing its previous <strong>historic peaks of December 1989</strong>. This positive momentum is a continuation of the exceptional performance of 2023, with the Nikkei 225 having jumped by nearly 20% since January after a 28% increase the previous year.</p>
