His comments, suggesting a stabilization in yen depreciation, align with expectations of an improved fiscal situation, which has lifted investor confidence in the Japanese economy. Meanwhile, Jefferies cut its rating on Apple to underperform, lowering the target price to $263.66, thus placing pressure on tech stocks ahead of today's trading session.
