The Nikkei index in Japan has surpassed 44,000 points, supported by economic optimism and a decrease in tariffs for Japanese cars.

On Tuesday, Japan's Nikkei 225 index reached a record high of 44,185.73 points, driven by optimism regarding trade and economic stimulus. Although it recorded a 1.24% increase at the beginning of the day, it ended the trading session with a 0.2% increase. This rise comes after the resignation of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and the candidacy of Sanae Takaichi, who supports more relaxed fiscal policies.
