The Japanese stock market declined on Friday, with the Nikkei 225 dropping 0.31% to finish at 38,451.46. Despite this, there is optimism for a rebound on Monday due to improved interest rate outlooks globally. In the US, major indices soared on Friday, with the Dow rising 0.78%, the NASDAQ climbing 1.51%, and the S&P 500 advancing 1.00%. This positive trend was supported by lower treasury yields and Federal Reserve Governor Waller’s comments on potential interest rate cuts. Crude oil prices fell on Friday, but Japan is set to release key economic data later today, including core machinery orders and industrial production figures.
