Japanese Markets React as Prime Minister Ishiba Prepares to Meet President Trump
A heightened sense of risk and opportunity is building in Japanese markets on Friday as Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba prepares for his first meeting with President Donald Trump.
Defense, energy, and AI-related stocks are in focus amid speculation that they may see further gains. Meanwhile, investors are wary of the auto sector, which could be impacted by potential tariffs.
