27.04.2026 ⇢ The Day Hokkaido Shook and Nikkei Hit 60,000
⌨
The day began with a magnitude 6.2 earthquake in Hokkaido at dawn, shaking the region with intensity 5 strong and disrupting train services. The quake occurred while the 'post-earthquake warning' for the Hokkaido-Sanriku area was still active, but authorities confirmed no direct link and ended the advisory as scheduled at 5 PM. Meanwhile, the Nikkei average closed above 60,000 for the first time, driven by AI and 'physical AI' stocks like Fanuc, with the index hitting a record high of 60,537 yen. The Ōtsuchi forest fire saw its first rain since ignition, though containment remained elusive. In international news, the Trump dinner shooting suspect was revealed to have planned to target administration officials, and Iran proposed nuclear talks after resolving the Hormuz Strait issue.
