On the day of trading, the index added as much as 1.8% due to the published plans of Toyota to introduce new technologies for the production of electric cars, as well as information about the negotiations between the management of OpenAI and the Japanese corporation SoftBank regarding the introduction of artificial intelligence into their products.

It is reported that the Nikkei 225 index has been growing for several days in a row due to the positive mood of investors.
