On Thursday, the Nikkei index in Japan rose thanks to the increase in SoftBank Group stocks and technology companies, repeating the same success of American stocks on the second consecutive day.
SoftBank Group stocks increased by 2.1% after the company announced a profit increase in the first quarter. Other technology companies also demonstrated positive dynamics.
"The market follows the positive trends established on American exchanges, and as long as the growth of the technology sector supports the index at a high level," noted the analyst.
