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. It closed at 36,830.69 yen, up 378.39 yen (estimated Volume 1.9 billion 70 million shares). The depreciation of the yen, spurred by the retreat of expectations for additional interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan, and hopes for progress in tariff negotiations with the USA also contributed to a buying momentum at the start. Autos stocks were particularly favored, and during the middle of the morning session, it rose to 36,976.51 yen, coming close to the significant 37,000 yen mark. However, ahead of the four consecutive holidays, profit-taking Sell activity is likely, especially with the USA preparing for the release of employment Statistics in April.

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.

The index has recovered to the 36,000 yen range for the first time in a month.

The Nikkei Average has risen for five consecutive trading days. It closed up 205.39 yen at 36,045.38 yen (with an estimated Volume of 2.2 billion 80 million shares), regaining the 36,000 yen mark for the first time in about a month. Buys anticipated due to the rise in U.S. stocks and progress in U.S. tariff negotiations led the initial trading. Immediately after the opening, the Nikkei regained 36,000 yen. However, once it surpassed the key level of 36,000 yen, conflicting sentiments emerged, spreading a mood of watchful waiting, with continued stagnation around 35,900 yen. Toward the end of the afternoon session, index buys, believed to be by pension funds, emerged as the month-end approached.
