19 Dec 2025 Evaluate

Rally in technological sector stocks buoyed the local indices. Japan’s Nikkei soared after the Bank of Japan delivered a widely expected interest rate hike. The BoJ lifted the benchmark rates by quarter bps to 0.75%, after inflation eased to 2.9% in November from October’s 3%. Moreover, weaker local currency yen supported gains in export-oriented business of Japan.
