Tokyo's main index closes the day higher on the back of improved sentiment
- Session high 21,884.45
- Session low 21,357.55
But not as high as it could've been though. The Nikkei has largely surrendered gains from earlier in the session following the North Korea news here. The talk of tariffs and trade wars have largely distracted the market, and somewhat takes the shine off the positive developments on the North Korean front - even though we're seeing somewhat positive developments there too.
The move in the Nikkei largely mirrors that of the S&P 500 futures as well. If this were two or three months ago, you probably can't imagine the sort of elation and euphoria it would create for equities.
