[Japanese Stocks Surge, Buffett Gains Nearly $2 Billion in a Single Day] According to Golden Finance, on Monday local time, the Nikkei 225 Index surged over 2,000 points, surpassing the 56,000-point mark for the first time in history. This pushed the market value of Berkshire's Japanese assets, specifically its investments in the five major trading companies, to exceed $41 billion. Since 2019, Warren Buffett, who has stepped down as Berkshire's CEO, has made a series of significant bets on Japanese stocks. Monday's rally in the Tokyo stock market drove up the prices of related stocks, resulting in a single-day gain of nearly $2 billion. Based on details disclosed in Berkshire's financial reports, the investment cost was approximately $13.8 billion, meaning this investment has nearly doubled in value. (Yicai)
