Japan's record share market rally earlier this year is now a distant memory as foreign investors sell off stocks amid a sluggish economy. Despite this, Tokyo's Nikkei Average has shown resilience, with the index unofficially closing up 0.54% at 38,804.65 on June 24, 2024. Additionally, Nikkei futures rose by 0.08%, and the index extended its gains to 1.01%, reaching 39,195.05 on June 25, 2024. The Nikkei also managed to shake off a chip slump as value shares rallied.
