Tokyo stocks surged on Tuesday as the Nikkei posted a sharp rebound, driven by blue-chip buying that pushed the index toward the 58,000 mark.

The Nikkei closed at 57,877.39, up 1,374.62 points from Monday. Volume on the Prime Market reached 2,156.84 million shares, with turnover at 8,439.2 billion yen. Advancers outnumbered decliners 900 to 638, while 38 issues remained unchanged.

The rally was triggered by bargain hunting in major stocks following a risk-off sell-off in the previous session. Positive cues from Wall Street provided additional momentum, with the Nasdaq Composite posting its ninth consecutive gain. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) also climbed for a ninth day to hit a record high, breaking above the 9,000 level for the first time. Risk-on sentiment was further bolstered by speculation that U.S.-Iran peace talks are continuing behind the scenes despite an initial breakdown. Index-linked buying by overseas hedge funds fueled a nearly 1,500-point jump at one stage, though the rally was concentrated, with only 18 of 33 sectors finishing higher.

In individual stocks, Kioxia Holdings saw record trading value of about 1.6 trillion yen, hitting another record high. AI data center-related plays remained in focus, with SoftBank Group Corp <9984>, Furukawa Electric Co Ltd <5801>, and Fujikura Ltd <5803> seeing heavy activity. Advantest Corp <6857> and Disco Corp <6146> posted strong gains. JX Advanced Metals Corp <5016>, Mitsui Kinzoku Co Ltd <5706>, and Ibiden Co Ltd <4062> also finished higher. Nippon Chemical Industrial Co Ltd <4092> hit its daily limit, while Curves Holdings Co Ltd <7085> surged.

Conversely, Fast Retailing Co Ltd <9983> and Inpex Corp <1605> faced selling pressure. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc <8306> ended lackluster, while Keyence Corp <6861> and Mitsubishi Corp <8058> declined. Media Do Co Ltd <3678> led percentage decliners, with Katitas Co Ltd <8919> and Star Mica Holdings Co Ltd <2975> also dropping. Haseko Corp <1808> and Sanyo Shokai Ltd <8011> posted sharp losses.
