Expectations for the US-China agreement also lead to a cautious approach to active buying and selling.
The Nikkei average fell for the first time in eight trading days. It closed at 36,779.66 yen, a decrease of 51.03 yen, with an estimated Volume of 2.1 billion 50 million shares. Buying started strongly driven by expectations for US-China trade negotiations and momentarily rose to 36,942.38 yen right after the market opened. However, ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) results, active trading was restrained, and afterward, there was continued stagnation around last week's closing price. In the Main Board, the number of rising stocks exceeded 1,000, overall.

GameStop (GME) Stock Dips Despite Nintendo Switch 2 Preorder Buzz: What's Going On?
Expectations for the progress of the weak yen and tariff negotiations are driving prices close to 37,000 yen.
The Nikkei average has risen for seven consecutive trading days, finishing at 36,830.69 yen, up 378.39 yen (with an estimated volume of 1.9 billion 70 million shares). The depreciation of the yen, driven by the retreat of speculation regarding additional interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan, combined with expectations of progress in tariff discussions with the USA, led to a bullish start. Autos stocks were bought, reaching as high as 36,976.51 yen in the middle of the morning session, approaching the significant level of 37,000 yen. However, ahead of the four-day holiday, profit-taking selling is likely to occur, and the USA is awaiting the announcement of the employment statistics for April.
