2026 Tokyo Stock Market Rally: Nikkei Surges 1,600 Yen and Record Tuna Auction
The 2026 Tokyo Stock Exchange Daihatsu rally saw the Nikkei surge by 1,600 yen. Semiconductor stocks led the charge, while Trump's Greenland comments sparked geopolitical debate.
The bulls are back in Tokyo. On the first trading day of 2026, the Nikkei 225 surged by more than 1,600 yen during intraday trading. This massive rally, marking the annual 'Daihatsu' ceremony, was driven by a frenzy for semiconductor and export-heavy stocks.
2026 Tokyo Stock Exchange Daihatsu Rally and Tech Dominance
According to reports from the Tokyo Stock Exchange, investor sentiment was bolstered by a strong year-end performance in the U.S. markets, where the NY Dow rose over $300 in its opening trade. Analysts suggest that moderate inflation and the prospect of wage hikes in Japan are creating a sustainable base for economic recovery. The symbolic first auction at Toyosu Market also made waves, with a bluefin tuna selling for a record 510.3 million yen.
Trump’s Geopolitical Ambitions: From Greenland to Venezuela
While markets are cheering, geopolitical clouds are gathering. President Trump has reiterated his desire to acquire Greenland, calling it 'absolutely necessary.' He also emphasized that the U.S. needs to be 'involved in everything' regarding Venezuela. These statements, combined with Germany's shift toward stricter immigration policies, signal a more fragmented and protectionist global landscape in 2026.
Major Japanese banks have announced an increase in fixed mortgage rates starting this January, which could dampen domestic consumer spending despite the stock market's record-breaking start.
