Japan's Nikkei 225 share average jumped more than 4% on Friday, marking a sharp acceleration in the benchmark's recent upward trajectory.
The surge was driven by a powerful rebound in Wall Street technology stocks, led by Microsoft, which delivered forecasts that alleviated investor concerns regarding the sustainability of artificial intelligence capital expenditure.
The positive sentiment from US markets spilled over into Asian trading, providing a significant tailwind for Japanese equities.
The rally extends a multi-session winning streak for the Nikkei, which had already climbed 1.36% on Tuesday and traded higher on Wednesday.
The broader Topix index also edged up, reflecting broad-based buying interest across the market.
The resurgence in technology stocks has been a key driver of the index's record-breaking quarterly performance, with the benchmark recently closing at the 70,000 level.
