Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average climbs 0.8% to surpass the key psychological level of 40,000 for the first time, driven by greater corporate earnings and a surge in chip-related stocks, thanks to enthusiasm for beneficiaries of artificial intelligence.
受企業收益增加和芯片相關股票激增的推動，日本日經225指數上漲0.8％，首次突破40,000的關鍵心理水平，這要歸因於對人工智能受益者的熱情。
The Nikkei Stock Average had climbed 19% so far this year through Friday, after having risen 28% in 2023, driven by the return of modest inflation, improvements in corporate governance and a weaker yen, which boosts the value of corporate profits earned overseas in yen terms. A surge in chip stocks led the latest gains.
截至週五，日經平均指數今年迄今已上漲19％，此前在2023年上漲了28％，這得益於溫和的通貨膨脹回歸、公司治理的改善以及日元疲軟，日元貶值提振了以日元計算的企業在海外賺取的利潤的價值。芯片股的激增帶動了最新的漲勢。
