Tech, autos boost Japan's Nikkei as trade war worries ease

Japan's Nikkei share average rose to a three-week high, driven by a tech-led rally in Wall Street and easing trade war concerns between the US and China, as the White House signaled a willingness to de-escalate tensions. Auto shares, including Toyota, rose following reports that tariffs might be exempted for car companies. Chip shares also gained, with Nintendo and Fanuc posting strong results. However, concerns remain about companies withholding full-year guidance amid global trade uncertainties.
