Nikkei rises over 3% as Japan stocks lead gains in Asia markets ahead of U.S. inflation data

The momentum in Japan markets were largely driven by the country's technology and financial sector.

Japan's major indexes rose sharply on Tuesday, as trading in the country's stocks resumed after a holiday, amid a broader rise in Asia-Pacific markets.

Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 jumped 3.45% to end the session at 36,232.51, breaching the 36,000 level for the first time since Aug. 2. The broader Topix gained 2.83% to close at 2,553.55.

The momentum was largely driven by the country's technology and financial sectors, with Rakuten Group and Trend Micro leaping 9.22% and 6.37%, respectively.

The country's parliament plans to hold a special session next week to discuss the Bank of Japan's decision to raise interest rates last month, Reuters reported, citing government sources.

Japan's producer price index rose 3% in July from a year earlier, climbing at a faster pace compared to 2.9% in June.
