Japanese PM Takaichi says it will be tough regarding her visit to meet US President Trump on Thursday, while she will do her best to protect Japan's interests.
What it means
Japanese PM Takaichi's comments suggest potential challenges in U.S.-Japan discussions, which could signal a tough negotiation environment impacting trade relations. This could create volatility in the JPY and affect broader market sentiment towards risk assets, as uncertainty often leads to safe-haven flows. Traders should monitor how these negotiations unfold, as they may have implications for USD/JPY dynamics and investor confidence in the region.
