Amid rising expectations for US tariff negotiations, high-tech shares lead the increase.
The Nikkei average rebounded, ending the trade at 36,928.63 yen, up 148.97 yen (with an estimated Volume of 1.9 billion 10 million shares). The U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) passed quietly, and supported by the rise in U.S. stocks and the progress of yen depreciation, the main technology stocks opened with Buy orders. After the initial surge in buying, the market softened due to profit-taking and other selling, with a drop to 36,606.71 yen observed at one point. Later, U.S. President Trump stated that 'regarding trade agreements with major countries, there will be an announcement at 10 AM on the 8th (Japan time).
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.
After the delayed interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan, the Nikkei average stock price temporarily recovered to 36,500 yen.
The Nikkei average continued to rise significantly for six consecutive trading days, closing up 406.92 yen at 36,452.30 yen (Volume estimated at 1.8 billion 60 million shares). Amid the sharp surge in the after-hours trading of U.S. Microsoft and Meta Platforms Inc, buying started to lead in the Tokyo market, particularly in the Semiconductors sector. Additionally, the depreciation of the yen to the 144 yen level against the dollar following the announcement of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy decision was also viewed as favorable, increasing the number of export-related stocks that gained in value.

MUFG revises net profit upward for fiscal year 25/3 to 1 trillion 860 billion yen, up from 1 trillion 750 billion yen.
Mitsubishi UFJ <8306> announced a revision of its financial forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2025. The net profit was revised upwards from 1 trillion 750 billion yen to 1 trillion 860 billion yen. This was due to the recording of one-time gains such as profits from the sale of policy-held Stocks and the reversal of costs related to L's credit relationships, utilizing these gains to conduct a restructuring of the Bond portfolio from a balance sheet management perspective, implementing measures for future enhanced profitability. The year-end Dividend per share was raised by 4 yen from the previous forecast to 39 yen (the previous period was 20 yen).

However, as it surpassed the key level of 36,000 yen, opposing sentiments emerged, and gradually a wait-and-see mood spread, resulting in consolidation around 35,900 yen. Toward the end of the afternoon session, index buying is expected from pension funds at the end of the month.
