[Unfazed by Rate Hike Concerns, AI Boom Sweeps Japanese Stock Market, Nikkei Breaks 67,000 Points for the First Time] BlockBeats News, June 1: After years of stability following the economic bubble burst, the Japanese stock market has finally surged. Since May 21, under the leadership of SoftBank Group, the Japanese stock market has experienced a sharp rally. Today, SoftBank's market value climbed to approximately 46 trillion yen (about $288 billion), officially surpassing Toyota to become the most valuable company in Japan. The AI investment frenzy has finally reached the Japanese stock market. Notably, 15 days after the Nikkei broke the 67,000-point record, the Bank of Japan is set to announce its interest rate decision. According to Polymarket data, there is an 88% probability of a rate hike in this decision. However, this potential negative factor seems to have been fully priced in by the market. Nomura Securities analysts stated last week that with upward revisions in profit expectations for AI and semiconductor companies, the Nikkei 225 Index is expected to reach 68,000 points by the end of 2026 and could potentially rise further to 70,000 points the following year.
