Nikkei 225 opens +3.8% as participants return from the public holiday; ASX 200 holding onto earlier gains (+0.6%)

The Nikkei 225's sharp opening gain of 3.8% suggests a strong rebound as market participants return from the holiday, potentially indicating pent-up demand or positive sentiment following previous sessions. Meanwhile, the ASX 200's modest rise of 0.6% reflects a more cautious approach, but still shows resilience in the broader regional context. Traders should watch for further developments that could sustain or alter this momentum in both indices.
