Japan Stocks to Fluctuate as Yen Drops on New EU Tariff Deadline
Japanese stocks may fluctuate after the yen weakened against the dollar as US President Donald Trump said he would extend the deadline for the European Union to face 50% tariffs until July 9.
Nikkei 225 futures were at 37,210 on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, compared with the last close of 37,160.47 for the underlying gauge. The yen retreated after the latest comments from Trump, who last week threatened to impose aggressive tariffs on the EU and Apple Inc.

Protesters gathering downtown for Chicago ‘No Kings' rally
Demonstrators have begun gathering in Daley Plaza for Chicago's 'No Kings' rally, part of a national slate of marches planned around the country to protest President Donald Trump's policies and agenda. Among those crowding into the Daley Center plaza Saturday morning were Theresa and Robert Hoban, retired attorneys who split their time between Chicago and Florida. The Hobans said they attended to support their grandchildren's future, and the throngs of others present for the rally gave them a sense of hope. 'We are doing this for our grandchildren's future because we believe the country has taken a turn for the worse under this administration,' Theresa Hoban said. 'We believe that standing up and people hearing our voices is the most profound way to get our message across.' As the crowd grew, loudspeakers near the Picasso statue blasted songs by Beyonce and Rage Against the Machine. The Chicago protest was planned to be one of more than 2,000 'No Kings' events nationwide, with organizers anticipating it would be one of the largest. Tens of thousands were expected to march from Daley Plaza and coalesce in defiance and admonition of Trump near the downtown hotel tower bearing his name. Organizers described the protest as 'a national mobilization to reject authoritarianism,' and was scheduled to begin with several speeches, including one from U.S. Rep. Jesús 'Chuy' García, a Democrat from the Little Village Neighborhood. There are also several other No Kings protests scheduled around Chicago, including ones in Evanston, Geneva, Naperville, Highland Park and Arlington Heights, among other suburbs. The protests, according to organizers, are in 'direct response to President Trump's self-aggrandizing $100 million military parade and birthday celebration, an event funded by taxpayers while millions are told there's no money for Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid, or public schools. 'Across all 50 states, communities will gather to declare: The president is not a king.' The downtown protest comes after a week of tension in Chicago, where city streets have filled in recent days in response to the Trump administration's actions in Los Angeles. There, Immigration and Custom Enforcement raids and the administration's deployment of Marines and the California National Guard have led to fiery confrontations among demonstrators, ICE agents and police. Earlier this week, in anticipation of a similar scene in Chicago, Johnson urged the city's residents to 'resist.' He described it as 'a necessary fight for all of us to be able to push back' against ICE raids and the specter of the mobilization of troops in the city. Planners said they intend to do just that. 'We could all just sit at home and scroll on our phones and be really worried about what's happening with our country, or we can go out and be in the streets and, very visibly, say we are not OK with what is going on with this administration,' said Sally Schulze, a spokesperson for Indivisible Chicago, which is organizing the downtown protest.

Live updates: 'No Kings' protests against Trump planned nationwide
The Brief The No Kings Day of Defiance is expected to be the largest single-day mobilization since President Trump returned to office. Millions of people are expected to turn out in nearly 2,000 cities across the U.S. They're protesting Trump's policies and hoping to counter the massive military parade in Washington, DC. From New York to California and almost everywhere in between, "No Kings" protests against President Donald Trump's policies are happening in nearly 2,000 cities across the U.S. Saturday as a military parade rolls in Washington for the Army's 250th anniversary. The protests, organized by the 50501 national movement, are meant to counter what organizers call a day for Trump to feed his own ego as he turns 79 years old. You can watch live coverage on LiveNow from FOX in the video player above or wherever you stream. Here's the latest: 12 p.m. ET: Atlanta's 5,000-capacity "No Kings" rally quickly reached its limit. There were around 5,000 people inside the plaza, with another 2,000 outside the area. The backstory The "No Kings" theme was orchestrated by the 50501 Movement, a national movement made up of everyday Americans who stand for democracy and against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement. The No Kings Day of Defiance is expected to be the largest single-day mobilization since Trump returned to office, organizers said. Organizers said they are preparing for millions of people to take to the streets across all 50 states and commonwealths. RELATED: Trump's military parade is a US outlier in peacetime but parades have storied history Earlier protests organized by 50501 have rallied against Trump and his former billionaire adviser Elon Musk, who led Trump's Department of Government Efficiency to cut federal spending. What they're saying "The flag doesn't belong to President Trump. It belongs to us," the No Kings website says. "On June 14th, we're showing up everywhere he isn't — to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings." Local perspective People of all ages are expected to come together in nearly 2,000 protest locations for speeches, marching, carrying signs and waving American flags. The movement is committed to keeping their protests nonviolent. RELATED: When is Trump's military parade? Here's where to watch, what to expect It's unclear whether any protests will take place in Washington, DC, the site of the Army birthday and Flag Day parade. There are no official protests scheduled there, per the 50501 movement, but unplanned protests could pop up. The Army birthday celebration had already been planned, but earlier this spring, Trump announced his intention to ratchet up the event – which falls on Trump's birthday – to include 60-ton M1 Abrams battle tanks and Paladin self-propelled howitzers rolling through the city streets. He has long sought a similar display of patriotic force. The flagship "No Kings" march and rally will be held in Philadelphia. You can learn more and see a map of scheduled protests here.
