Tokyo stocks (Opening): Continued rise led by futures trading in early session

Tue Apr 21, 2026 9:04 am JST Market

The Tokyo stock market opened with a positive bias on 21st, with the Nikkei Stock Average rising 206 yen to 59,031 yen, continuing its recent upward trend. Despite broad declines in European markets and the US Nasdaq snapping its 13-session winning streak amid rising crude prices and inflationary concerns, large-scale futures buying in Tokyo provided immediate support. Volatility is expected to remain high throughout the session as investors weigh domestic momentum against a cautious global backdrop.
