# The Nikkei Average Index rose by 1,037 points or 2.1% in the first half of the day, surpassing the 50,000-point mark for the first time

> Japanese stocks rose significantly, with the Nikkei average index up 1,037 points or 2.1% at midday, breaking through the 50,000-point mark for the first time, reported at 50,337 points. The expectation of a rate cut in the U.S. and the improvement of the China-U.S. trade consensus have increased market risk appetite.

The dollar against the yen is reported at 152.96

Japanese stocks rose significantly, with expectations of a U.S. interest rate cut heating up, and the three major U.S. stock indices hitting record closing highs.
