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.
受企业收益增加和芯片相关股票激增的推动，日本日经225指数上涨0.8％，首次突破40,000的关键心理水平，这要归因于对人工智能受益者的热情。
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.
截至周五，日经平均指数今年迄今已上涨19％，此前在2023年上涨了28％，这得益于温和的通货膨胀回归、公司治理的改善以及日元疲软，日元贬值提振了以日元计算的企业在海外赚取的利润的价值。芯片股的激增带动了最新的涨势。
