The Tokyo Stock Exchange has fully recovered since the bursting of the Japanese speculative bubble in the early 1990s: on Thursday its flagship Nikkei index surpassed its all-time high, dating back to the end of 1989.
The Nikkei rose above 39,000 points, erasing during the session its previous historical high, reached on 29 December 1989 (38,957.44 points).
His absolute closing record (38,915.87 points on the same day) could therefore be beaten today too.
