Japanese stocks rose in the early Friday session as expectations for progress in trade negotiations between the US and the European Union supported automotive-related sectors. Most Asian markets are shut for the Good Friday holiday. Data released Friday showed Japan's consumer inflation advanced last month, supporting the central bank's stance on a gradual rate hike path before US tariff measures clouded the economic outlook. We speak with Mary Nicola, Bloomberg MLIV Strategist in Singapore.

Stateside - a rebound in US stocks evaporated this week after Chair Jerome Powell pushed back on the idea of the Federal Reserve stepping in to bolster markets, rankling President Donald Trump who touted a smattering of deals Thursday. We cap off the trading week with insights from James Demmert, Founder and Chief Investment Officer at Main Street Research.
