Recent events on the Japanese stock market have demonstrated the resilience of the Topix index, which has managed to fully offset losses incurred following Donald Trump's announcement on retaliatory tariffs. This recovery has been fueled by progress in trade negotiations and a slight weakening of the yen, which in turn has increased appetite for riskier assets.

After facing a sluggish start to the year, Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp. experienced a significant rebound in February. The overall global sales rose by 9.5% compared to the same period last year, showcasing the company's resilience amid supply chain challenges.
