A: Hey buddy, got any news?
B: Nah, what's up?
A: Well, guess who's having a good day? Tokyo! Their stock index just skyrocketed!
B: No way! What happened?
A: Turns out, that US court blocked Trump from putting those big tariffs on imports. Investors were happy about it and started buying shares, especially export-related ones.
B: Oh, I see... And the stock they bought was?
A: None other than Nvidia, a big US chip company! They've been doing really well recently.
B: That sounds exciting! And what about the yen? Did anything happen with it?
A: Yeah, people started buying dollars instead of yen because of the news. The yen weakened and went down to 146-level for a bit.
B: Wow, that's quite a rollercoaster! Tokyo must be on cloud nine today.

The Nikkei 225 closed the day at 38,432, up 1.88 percent. It recovered the 38,000 mark for the first time in about two weeks.
Analysts say some investors bought export-related shares and that robust earnings of US chip giant Nvidia also helped push up the benchmark.
The US court's decision triggered dollar buying against the Japanese currency in Tokyo. The yen briefly weakened to the 146-level.
