Teaming Up with NVIDIA to Release Chip, Microsoft Surges Over 2% in Pre-market Trading, while AMD Gains Nearly 6%

June 1 marked a notable shift for Japan’s historically stable stock market, years after the country’s economic bubble burst. Starting May 21, the market has rallied sharply, driven by SoftBank Group. SoftBank’s market cap has surged to roughly ￥46 trillion (around $288 billion), officially edging past Toyota to become Japan’s most valuable company by market capitalization. The global AI investment craze has finally taken hold in Japan’s equity markets. Notably, 15 days after the Nikkei 225 crossed the 67,000 threshold, the Bank of Japan will deliver its interest rate decision. Polymarket data puts an 88% probability of a rate hike at this meeting, though this potential headwind appears to have been fully priced into the market. A Nomura Securities analyst said last week that with upward revisions to profit outlooks for AI and semiconductor firms, the Nikkei 225 is forecast to hit 68,000 by the end of 2026, and could rise to 70,000 in 2027.

On June 1, Bitget market data shows that SoftBank Group’s stock has continued to climb, with its gain expanding to 13.4%.

Root causes for the first two outages: A crash bug arising from interactions between the network’s Gas billing logic and its newly launched Version 1.72, which introduced the Address Balances feature. To get the network back online quickly, the Sui core team deployed a temporary fix for the Thursday outage—even though this fix carried a low probability of causing another failure, the team accepted the risk to prioritize rapid recovery. A variant of this same known issue caused the Friday morning outage. The third outage hit Friday afternoon during a routine Epoch transition. When validation nodes restarted to deploy the Friday morning fix, a long-dormant latent bug relat
