Market Reaction to Tariffs: Despite President Trump's announcement of a 15% tariff on Japanese imports, Japan ETFs surged by 3.5%–5%, driven by investor confidence in a new $550 billion trade deal with Japan that promises significant investment in the U.S. economy.
Factors Supporting ETF Performance: The positive performance of Japan-themed ETFs is attributed to stable currency conditions, strong sector earnings, and the resilience of exporters who are well-positioned to adapt to the tariffs, leading to a relief rally in the market.
