Tokyo, April 14 (IST):
The Nikkei 225 Index is witnessing a powerful rally, up +633.92 points (+1.89%), trading at ¥34,219.50 in live market action. The sharp rebound follows Friday’s steep sell-off and is largely fueled by a tech-led global surge, signs of easing U.S.-China trade friction, and a supportive open across Asia-Pacific markets.
