B: That's awesome! What caused it to surge?
A: It seems like good news from Canada about resuming trade talks with the US. They are no longer imposing a tax on tech firms, which made some investors pretty happy.
B: So, they bought shares, right?
A: Exactly! But later on, some investors decided to sell off export-related shares because the yen got stronger.
B: Oh, so it wasn't a straight win for them.
A: That's true, but overall, the Nikkei has been on an upward trend since April, especially after Trump's tariff rollout caused some turmoil.
