Global markets showed mixed results Friday. Asian stocks mostly fell, except for Tokyo's Nikkei 225, which surged nearly 2% after a US-Japan tariff dispute resolution. European markets saw modest changes, with Germany's DAX down 0.3% and France's CAC 40 up 0.3%. US futures indicated a positive start, boosted by hopes of interest rate cuts and strong corporate earnings, despite recent job market concerns and Trump's tariffs impacting some sectors. Oil prices rose, and the US dollar strengthened against the yen.
