The Nikkei 225 rose by 0.72% due to the weakening yen, which boosted export stocks and offset losses in tech, as investors await Nvidia's report.
Investor sentiment turned positive with the yen's halt in upward momentum, leading to renewed buying in export stocks, especially with major gains for companies like Sony.
Despite the Nikkei's rise, tech stocks remained under pressure with notable declines in chip-related shares, notably Tokyo Electron and Advantest, impacting overall performance.
Strong performances from Fast Retailing and Chugai Pharmaceutical helped support gains in the Nikkei index, countering declines in sectors affected by tech stock struggles.
