On March 22, the Nikkei Average rose, influenced by the update of historical highs in major stock indices in the previous day's New York market and the ongoing depreciation of the yen.

Buoyed by semiconductor stocks and automobile manufacturers, the market continued its upward trend, achieving record highs for the second consecutive day and momentarily climbing over the 41,000 yen threshold.

the market closed 72 yen higher than the previous day at 40,888 yen, marking a record closing high for the second day in a row.
