Japan’s Nikkei soared to a new intraday record, driven by tech stocks, though a stronger yen curbed gains for exporters. The Nikkei 225 climbed 0.3% to 44,938.40, briefly hitting 45,055.99, surpassing the week’s earlier record. Resonac Holdings and Screen Holdings led the surge, while Tokyo Electric Power and Tokyo Gas faced declines.
