Global Recovery Sparks Massive Turnaround

Nikkei 225 Reclaims Confidence with Explosive Rally
After plunging to fresh 52-week lows on Monday, the Nikkei 225’s 5% rebound on April 8 signals a major shift in market sentiment. As investors re-enter risk assets, led by global tech strength and regional recovery, the Tokyo market may see a renewed push toward stability.
Whether the rally sustains will depend on midday trading strength, U.S. futures, and macro news flow. But for now, bulls are firmly back in control.
