Japan’s Nikkei 225 Stock Average has doubled since its pandemic low as investors continue to rush into one of this year’s biggest stock rallies.
The blue-chip equity gauge rose 1.5% Wednesday, taking the gain from its March 2020 low to 102%. That’s the best in the Asia Pacific region in that span, after the more than 120% surge in India’s Sensex.
