Tokyo's main index climbs on improved risk sentiment in markets

Nikkei 10-06

Asian stocks are on the up today as markets are cheering the fact that Mexico manages to avoid tariffs - for now - from the US following Trump's announcement over the weekend. That has helped put risk assets in a good mood to start the week with global equities sentiment improving and Treasury yields also higher on the day.

USD/JPY sits at 108.62, up by 0.4%, as the yen is seen slightly weaker but also as the dollar is gaining solid ground; retracing some of Friday's losses.
