Global Markets: Japan's Nikkei rebounds as AI shares gain, oil tempers broader mood

Japan's Nikkei share average rebounded on Thursday after a three-day losing streak. AI-related shares tracked gains in the U.S. technology sector, boosting the index. Higher oil prices, however, kept investor optimism in check following renewed U.S.-Iran hostilities. The Nikkei 225 index climbed 1.4% to close at 67,743.85 points. Market breadth was negative as gains were skewed by heavily weighted stocks.
