The decision by the United States to temporarily halt imposing tariffs on goods from the European Union led to a significant increase in the Tokyo stock market on Monday. The main share index in Tokyo, based on the Nikkei 225, closed at 37,531.53, marking a 1% increase compared to the previous trading day.

Following the announcement of the suspension of tariffs, early trading in Tokyo saw a rise in the US share index, boosting investor confidence. Additionally, the comprehensive market index also saw a growth of 16.39 points, reaching 2,751.91, a 0.6% increase.

Opinion from Ramesh Khatri, representative of Kansai Nepal News:
“Given the positive response in the Tokyo stock market following the decision to pause tariffs, it is evident that external trade dynamics have a direct impact on investor sentiment. This development highlights the interconnectedness of global markets and the importance of trade relations in driving market performance.”
