Japanese stocks surged as U.S. agreed to correct tariff discrepancies, while other Asian markets fell.

World shares were mixed on Friday, with Tokyo's Nikkei 225 soaring nearly 2% after Japanese officials resolved questions over U.S. tariffs on Japanese exports. Despite the surge in Tokyo, most other Asian markets fell, including declines in Hong Kong, Shanghai, South Korea, and Australia. The U.S. imposed tariffs on Japanese goods that did not match a 15% agreement, but Washington agreed to correct the issue, boosting the Nikkei and shares of Toyota and Honda.
