東京株、バブル後高値更新　一時３万６２００円台

　１７日午前の東京株式市場で、日経平均株価が一時、前日比６２０円０４銭高の３万６２３９円２２銭まで上昇し、バブル経済期の１９９０年２月以来、約３４年ぶりの高値を付けた。米国市場での半導体株高や為替の円安進行を好感して買いが優勢となった。買い一巡後は高値警戒感が広がって上げ幅を縮小。午前の終値は１９１円１７銭高の３万５８１０円３５銭だった。（2024/01/17-11:54）

Japan's key Nikkei 225 stock average gained over 600 points at one point in morning trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Wednesday, hitting a fresh 34-year high.
   The Nikkei 225 briefly climbed 620.04 points, or 1.74 pct, from Tuesday to 36,239.22, its highest level since February 1990, spurred by buying of mainly semiconductor-related issues on the back of overnight rises in their U.S. counterparts.
   Auto-related issues also attracted buying, supported by the yen's weakening.
   Given the Nikkei's rapid advance since the start of this year, there is "a sense of overheating" in the Tokyo market, said an official at a major securities firm.
   However, "individual and foreign investors are rushing to buy as Japanese stocks are currently outperforming overseas stocks," an official at a midsized securities firm said.
