What happened that day?
- September 12, 2024 — the Nikkei 225 rose 3.41% to 36,833.27. No single cause for the day could be pinned down
- US chip names had jumped overnight. Tokyo followed the next morning
- The yen's climb since August had also paused — a stronger yen eats exporter earnings
- It broke four straight declines, and was the fourth largest one-day gain of the year
- The close was the highest since September 4
- The bounce lasted one session. The next day turned down again
- The mark left by the early-August crash had still not been erased
