TOKYO, April 3, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Tokyo shares rebounded Friday following the previous day's steep losses as investors tracked tech-led gains on Wall Street, despite uncertainty fuelled by the Middle East crisis. The advance came on a muted day across Asia where most markets were closed for the Easter break, with Seoul also rallying, though Shanghai fell. Tokai Tokyo Securities added: "Tokyo shares are expected to trend higher, but volatility is also expected." Investors remained cautious as Trump's speech did not provide clear indications on when the conflict against Iran might end. These remarks, leaving open the possibility of further fighting, sparked disappointment," noted Takuma Ikemoto of the Tokai Tokyo Intelligence Lab.
