Last Friday, the US stock market was closed for Good Friday, and today's reopening of futures has become a sentiment indicator. The three major futures indices are showing slight pressure this morning, with Dow futures dropping 158 points or 0.40%. S&P and NASDAQ futures also decreased by 0.37% and 0.36%, respectively, indicating that investors are still cautious about the trade negotiations involving the US and other countries.

In Japan and South Korea, the Nikkei index fell by 159.58 points this morning, reaching 34,570.70, primarily due to profit-taking after last week's gains and the uncertainty surrounding trade negotiations. Meanwhile, South Korea's KOSPI saw a minor increase of 1.03 points, reaching 2,484.45.

The technology stocks displayed mixed performance, with Apple rising by 1.39% while Amazon dipped by 0.99%. Notably, President Trump has recently softened his stance, suggesting there might not be further increases in tariffs, garnering attention from the market. Investors should monitor fluctuations in US policies and upcoming earnings reports from major tech firms for insights on market trends.
