एसियाली सेयर बजारले बिहीबार इतिहासकै नयाँ कीर्तिमान स्थापना गर्यो। जापानको निक्केई पहिलोपटक ७० हजार विन्दुमाथि पुग्यो भने दक्षिण कोरियाको कोस्पीले पनि ९ हजार विन्दुको ऐतिहासिक सीमा पार गर्यो।

जापानको निक्केई स्टक एभरेज १ हजार १५१.२४ अंक अर्थात् १.६५ प्रतिशतले उकालो लाग्दै ७१ हजार ५३.४९ विन्दुमा बन्द भयो। चालु वर्षको सुरुदेखि हालसम्म निक्केईमा करिब ४१ प्रतिशत वृद्धि भइसकेको छ। यता दक्षिण कोरियाको कोस्पी २.३ प्रतिशतले बढेर ९ हजार ६३.८४ विन्दुमा बन्द भयो। यस वर्ष मात्रै कोस्पीमा करिब ११५ प्रतिशत वृद्धि भएको छ जुन दोब्बरभन्दा बढी हो।

ताइवानको ताइएक्स सूचक पनि १ प्रतिशतभन्दा बढीले उकालो लाग्यो। यस वर्ष हालसम्म ताइवानको बजारमा करिब ६० प्रतिशत वृद्धि भइसकेको छ।

यो ऐतिहासिक उछाल पछाडि मुख्यतः तीन कारण रहेका छन् — कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता क्षेत्रप्रतिको बढ्दो लगानी आकर्षण, अमेरिका–इरान शान्ति सम्झौताप्रतिको आशावाद र जापानको मौद्रिक नीतिप्रतिको बजारको विश्वास। विशेषगरी सेमिकन्डक्टर, प्रविधि र एआईसँग सम्बन्धित कम्पनीहरूको सेयरमा उच्च माग देखिएको छ।

बजार विश्लेषकहरूले एआई प्रविधिमा लगानी विस्तार र अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय राजनीतिक वातावरण स्थिर रहिरहे एसियाली सेयर बजारको सकारात्मक गति निरन्तर रहने अपेक्षा गरेका छन्।

Asian stock markets scripted history on Thursday, with Japan's Nikkei breaching the 70,000-point mark for the first time ever while South Korea's KOSPI surged past the 9,000-point threshold — both milestones that had never been reached before.

Japan's Nikkei Stock Average closed at 71,053.49 points, surging 1,151.24 points or 1.65 percent in a single session. The index has now gained approximately 41 percent since the start of the year, reflecting sustained investor confidence in the world's third-largest economy. The Bank of Japan's steady monetary policy stance has played a key role in reassuring markets that interest rate conditions remain favorable for equities.

South Korea's KOSPI delivered an even more dramatic performance, climbing 2.3 percent to close at 9,063.84 points. What makes the figure more striking is the scale of the rally — the index has more than doubled this year alone, posting a gain of approximately 115 percent since January. The index briefly crossed the 9,000-point level during intraday trading before holding above it at the close.

Taiwan's TAIEX also joined the rally, rising more than 1 percent on the day. The index has now climbed roughly 60 percent year-to-date, cementing Taiwan's position as one of Asia's strongest performing markets in 2025.

Analysts point to three converging forces behind the historic surge. Growing investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence and related technologies has been the dominant driver, with semiconductor, technology, and AI-linked companies attracting particularly strong demand across the region. Optimism surrounding a potential US-Iran peace agreement has also eased geopolitical tensions that had weighed on global sentiment. Additionally, confidence in Japan's measured approach to monetary policy has provided a stable backdrop for continued market gains.

Looking ahead, market watchers expect the positive momentum across Asian equity markets to continue, provided that investment in AI technology keeps expanding and the international political environment remains relatively stable.
