Japanese PM Takaichi says the potential of our alliance with the US is limitless and she is sincerely grateful to US President Trump for his warm words.

The comments from Japanese PM Takaichi highlight a strengthening alliance with the US, which may foster greater economic cooperation and stability in the region. This sentiment could bolster risk appetite, particularly in equities, and support the USD against the JPY if investors perceive a more robust US-Japan economic collaboration. However, the influence of Trump's warm remarks might also signal a continuation of the unconventional aspects of US foreign policy that could have mixed repercussions for broader market sentiment.
