Impact of Trade Deals: Recent trade agreements between the U.S. and Japan, including reduced auto tariffs, have contributed to a rally in global equities, particularly benefiting Japan-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and potentially increasing demand for Japanese stocks.
Trump: China, Japan can't continue guiding their currencies lower
Trump's Currency Concerns: President Trump criticized China and Japan for allegedly devaluing their currencies, suggesting that tariffs could be a solution to address the unfair trade disadvantage faced by the U.S.
Reactions from Japan and China: Japan's finance minister denied any currency manipulation, while the Chinese yuan remained stable despite new tariffs, indicating support from China's central bank amidst ongoing trade tensions.
