Nikkei 225: Rallied above 48,000, key levels to watch next as new Japanese PM ignites bulls
The Nikkei 225 extended its bullish momentum, surging 6.5% to a record high of 48,668 as markets priced in expansionary fiscal policies under Japan’s incoming Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi. The steepening of Japan’s government bond yield curves continues to support the rally, reinforcing a bullish medium-term outlook. Key support sits at 45,930, with potential upside targets at 50,090–51,220 amid a risk of minor corrective pullback.

The SPX 500 remains firmly bullish despite the US government shutdown, climbing to a fresh record high of 6,745 on 3 October.
