Disclaimer:

The current rally in the Nikkei presents potential opportunities, particularly in the tech sector. However, proper risk management should be exercised as the market digests key economic data from the U.S., which could influence global sentiment. Monitoring movement of the Japanese yen and the ability of Nikkei to hold above the 36,000 level will be key to making informed trading decisions.
