2⃣Nikkei225 $Nikkei 225 Index(N225.JP)$ : This morning, Japan announced that their core CPI which excludes fresh food, rose 1.4% in the month of April - the slowest increase in four years and lower than estimates

According to Bloomberg, the weaker reading may complicate expectations for the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates next month

Meantime, the weak yen is making imports much more expensive for Japan, despite multiple suspected interventions to support the currency. The yen averaged 159.18 to the dollar in April, compared with 143.07 in the same month a year earlier and its 10-year average of 124.77 (Bloomberg)

The Nikkei225 June futures is currently trading 2.7% higher to 63,155
