The Nikkei 225 closed at 65,270.95 on Thursday, 10 September 2026, up 128.17 points or 0.20% on the day — and, notably, at the session's intraday high. The index had a volatile morning, opening at 64,768.53 and sliding as low as 64,186.68 before the midday break as a firmer yen weighed on the country's export-heavy industrial base. The afternoon session told a very different story: the Nikkei climbed steadily from the reopen, clearing Wednesday's close of 65,142.78 in the final hour of trade and finishing right at the day's best level. The recovery was notable given the sharper declines seen elsewhere in Asia on the same session, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng closing down 1.27% and mainland China's SSE Composite off 0.43%.
