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.
