Heightened risk appetite led to the closing price surpassing the 60,000-yen mark for the first time.

The Nikkei Average rose sharply, closing at 60,537.36 yen, up 821.18 yen (approximate trading volume of 2.3 billion shares), marking the first time it surpassed the 60,000-yen threshold on a closing basis. Following buying in U.S. high-tech stocks during the previous Friday's session, the Nikkei Average opened higher and gradually advanced further. Additionally, expectations for progress in peace talks grew after U.S. media reported that Iran had presented a new proposal to the U.S. aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz, prompting short-term players to buy futures.
