日经225指数周四上午上涨173点,涨幅0.4%,至39304点,前一交易日略有下跌。与此同时,东证指数上涨15点,涨幅0.5%,达到2749点,标志着其第二个交易日上涨。路透社报道称,日本正在为2025财年准备创纪录的7350亿美元国家预算,这推动了这一增长。预算将用于支付更高的社会保障和偿债费用。与此同时,日本央行行长上田和夫在一次演讲中表示,经济正在接近实现可持续的2%通胀。耐用消费品、公用事业和物流股领涨,丰田汽车(4.0%)、电装公司(3.1%)和新日铁(1.1%)等大盘股强劲上涨。本田汽车股价上涨2.9%,在宣布股票回购并透露与日产的合并谈判后,连续第三个交易日上涨。与全球许多地方不同,日本股市本周保持开放,2024年的最后一个交易日定在12月30日。
The Nikkei 225 rose 173 points or 0.4% to 39,304 on Thursday morning, following a slight fall in the prior session. Meanwhile, the broader Topix added 15 points or 0.5% to reach 2,749, marking its second session of gains. The rise was fueled by a Reuters report that Japan was preparing a record USD 735 billion state budget for the 2025 fiscal year. The budget will account for higher social security and debt-servicing expenses. Meanwhile, BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda said in a speech that the economy is moving closer to achieving sustainable 2% inflation. Gains were driven by consumer durables, utilities, and logistics, with solid rises from large-cap stocks like Toyota Motor (4.0%), Denso Corp. (3.1%), and Nippon Steel (1.1%). Honda Motor jumped 2.9%, gaining for the third session after announcing a share buyback and revealing merger talks with Nissan. Unlike many places globally, Japanese markets remain open throughout the week, with the last trading day for 2024 set for December 30.
