what happened
Japanese stocks, according to Market Talk, may remain in a rangebound pattern as uncertainty over U.S. and Japanese monetary policy continues. Nikkei futures on the SGX were up 1.1% at 61490.
The dollar traded at 159.86 yen, compared with 159.76 yen at Thursday's Tokyo close. Investors are focusing on domestic corporate earnings and crude oil prices. Asahi Group Holdings and Asics are due to report quarterly results later on Friday. The Nikkei Stock Average fell 0.7% on Thursday to 60819.36.
why it matters
Domestic earnings and outside factors both matter for the market right now: uncertainty over Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan policy, plus oil, which affects costs for Japanese exporters and importers. For now this is more a preview of expectations than an event with a clear price effect.
