Nikkei 225 recovers to 40,000 mark to hit year's high
Tokyo's benchmark stock index recovered to the 40,000 level on Friday for the first time in about six months to close at a year-to-date high. Investors bought in after the Trump administration indicated trade tariff deadlines may be extended, easing concerns about a slowdown in the global economy. The Nikkei 225 finished the day at 40,150, up 1.4 percent. The gains were led by semiconductor and export-related shares. The index extended its winning streak to four days. Analysts say investors are finding more reason to be optimistic about the US economy amid speculation the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates sooner than expected.

Lutnick says US will soon announce series of trade deals
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says the US is set to reach new agreements with many of its trading partners. "We're going to announce a whole bunch of deals over the next week or so," he said in an interview with Bloomberg TV on Thursday. He said there will be one category for what he called the top 10 agreements, and others in different groups. He added that President Donald Trump is going to close the deals himself. Lutnick indicated agreements will be signed by July 9th, or when a 90-day pause on what Trump calls "reciprocal tariffs" ends. He gave no details on whether Japan is in the top 10 group or what criteria is used to define the categories. Japan's trade tariff negotiator Akazawa Ryosei is in Washington for talks with Lutnick and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
