Sources told the Global Post that Canada is negotiating trade concessions with the US in exchange for partial tariff relief.

Nikkei reports Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) will study rule changes to redraw the boundary between proprietary/private trading systems (PTS) and formal exchanges as PTS gain market acceptance. PTS offer finer tick sizes and after-hours trading. Under current rules the FSA caps PTS at 10% of total trading value in Japanese stocks; venues that exceed a 10% share for six consecutive months and meet other conditions must apply for an exchange licence, which would prevent them trading Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed stocks unless issuers pursue dual listings — a largely impractical route. To avoid the licence trigger, some platforms limit activity to keep market share below 10%. The FSA expects to form a study group as early as this fiscal year to consider adjustments, including raising the 10% cap.
