Expectations for progress in the Japan-China trade agreement have led to a recovery to 37,500 yen.

The Nikkei average continued to rise significantly. It closed at 37,503.33 yen, up 574.70 yen (with an estimated Volume of 2.6 billion 40 million shares), recovering the 37,500 yen level for the first time in about a month and a half since March 27. Anticipation for the progress of US-China ministerial-level trade negotiations starting on the 10th led to early buying across a wide range of stocks. Although there were moments when it slightly reduced the increase due to profit-taking selling as it approached the psychological barrier of 37,500 yen and weekend position adjustments, there was movement towards short covering towards the end of the afternoon session.
