It's mostly driven by the weakening yen. When the yen drops, Japanese export companies become more competitive, and that boosts their stock prices, pulling up the whole index.
It's likely a combination of factors, but the weakening JPY certainly provides a tailwind for Japanese equities, especially exporters. Curious to see if this momentum holds.
