what happened
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average climbed 1% to 65,085.40 in early trade, according to Market Talk, following overnight gains on Wall Street. Investors also took note of lower US Treasury yields, which Matt Simpson of StoneX linked to dovish Fed remarks that reduced bets on an October rate hike.
The 10-year yield fell 0.102 percentage point to 5.086%, while the two-year dropped 0.053 point to 4.747%. The dollar traded at 158.16 yen. Gold rose 1.5% to $4,147.70 an ounce, and November natural gas futures gained 1.2% to $3.236 per mmBtu.
The Nikkei closed 4.9% lower on Thursday at 64,425.95. Market participants were awaiting remarks from Fed Chair Warsh at an IMF event in Bangkok.
why it matters
Rate expectations are the key driver here. If bets on further Fed tightening keep easing, pressure on high-valuation technology shares and on global risk assets may ease as well, which matters for Japan after its recent sharp decline.
