Japanese stocks rose sharply on Tuesday with a lift from a stronger US dollar which helped drive the Nikkei 225 up nearly 2%. Sentiment was also boosted by another record-high close for Wall Street stocks on Monday.

From the FloorTF
US president Donald Trump is scheduled to speak in the United Nations Security Council today, his first appearance before the transnational body. Markets will watch his remarks on North Korea closely both for their potential bellicosity but more importantly for his willingness to involve China more directly in the ongoing standoff.

US President Trump will speak at the UN today on North Korea and Iran – potentially a critical speech depending on the degree to which China is blamed for the rogue state’s aggressions.
