Author: Benzinga Neuro | August 05, 2024 10:02pm

The Japanese stock market significantly recovered on Tuesday following a historic plunge, with other Asia-Pacific markets also showing signs of improvement.

What Happened: The Nikkei 225 and the broad-based Topix in Japan experienced a gain of nearly 10%. This recovery comes after the previous session, which saw the largest loss since the 1987 Black Monday crash.

At the time of writing, the Nikkei was up 8.74%, trading at 34,206.99, while the broader Topix rose 8.81%, reaching 2,423.29.

Japan’s service-sector activity rebounded in July due to strong domestic demand, as revealed by a survey on Monday. The final au Jibun Bank Service Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) increased to 53.7 last month, up from 49.4 in June, which marked the first contraction in 21 months. Japan’s jobless rate decreased to 2.5% in June from the previous month.

The yen also weakened by over 1% against the U.S. dollar. This rebound was seen across various sectors, with Japan’s heavyweight trading houses witnessing a rise of over 8%. Marubeni (OTC:MARUY) saw a surge of over 14%, while SoftBank Group (OTC:SFTBF) (OTC:SFTBY) jumped over 11%.

Oil prices also saw an uptick, with Brent crude rising by 1.65% to $77.56 per barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude increasing by 1.86% to $74.30.
