Tokyo (Reuters) – Japanese actions jumped on Friday, supported by the dollar push against the Yen, after a American trade agreement with Great Britain fueled the hopes of progress in price talks with other countries.
Bitcoin has climbed to the highest since January and American crude has checked after an increase of more than 3% on Thursday, when President Donald Trump announced the agreement with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer – the first of the month which followed a 90 -day break on trade rates to allow room for negotiations.

“Constructive language and declarations of intention will probably be sufficient to drop the actions at the back of the American-Chinese commercial talks.”
Trump has pushed back to see the British agreement as a model for other negotiations.
The “General Terms” agreement leaves a 10% tariff on goods imported from the United Kingdom, but reduces prohibited rights for the exports of British cars. Great Britain agreed to reduce its prices to 1.8% against 5.1% and provide better access to American goods.
Last week, Trump said he had “potential” trade agreements with India, South Korea and Japan.
