Market Update – March 12, 2026
Global equities closed higher on Thursday as investors welcomed softer-than-expected inflation data. The S&P 500 rose 0.8% to 5,412.36, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.2%. In currency markets, the U.S. dollar weakened 0.4% against the yen to ¥148.25.
Treasury yields fell across the curve, with the 10-year yield dropping 6 basis points to 4.12%. Analysts noted that the data may strengthen the case for a rate cut at the Federal Reserve's next policy meeting.

Bio
Native Japanese translator and proofreader based in Tokyo, working English>Japanese (and Japanese>English) full-time since October 2021. Top Rated on Upwork with 100% Job Success, 5.0 from 97 reviews and 240+ completed jobs.
Most of my work is long-term localization for repeat clients:
- Fintech / finance: articles (e.g. Nikkei 225), landing pages, push notifications and site UI for JustMarkets (since 2025); API changelogs, payment UI review and marketing for KOMOJU (ongoing); AI post-editing and proofreading of financial news, UI and trading courses for TradingKey (50+ Crowdin tasks since 2025).
- Apps, SaaS and web: UI strings, App Store text and web funnels (Mo Meditation, Pushscroll, Zact, Gismart, Open Wallet, Smart Meditation, QuitSure, Toko, Liven, 5 Minute Pilates and more), SaaS websites.
- Books: children's books from KidKiddos Books ("Wonderful Day", "The Traveling Caterpillar" and "I Am Thankful" by Shelley Admont; "Under the Stars"); "Knowing Me, Knowing You - Take a Walk with Me" by Elizabeth Murphy, Ed.D.; "If You're Not Monitoring, You're Not Protected" by Dr. James Dean Senger.
- Games: The Last Flame (Steam), ~37,000 words of items and passives with tags intact.
- Legal: Terms of Service and Privacy Policies (e.g. Haneda Airport Parking); JA>EN certificates.
- Medical: MTPE and ~9 months of medical LQA for a translation agency, medical-device questionnaires, clinical tests, charts, surgery explanations, a cancer study and a discussion guide for physicians.
- Subtitles (SRT/TTML, burned-in subtitles; e.g. the opera "Curlew River" by Benjamin Britten, YouTube videos), transcription of Japanese audio/video, voice-over and narration (P3 Dokumentär, Sveriges Radio), transcreation, presentations (PPTX/Google Slides), economic reports, cybersecurity e-learning.
- Japanese AI data: LLM prompt writing and evaluation (Scale AI), MTPE of LLM benchmark data.
Before translation, I worked for about 10 years as a professional magician (close-up and salon magic) and for about 13 years in care work (elderly care and care for a person with a cervical spinal cord injury), so I know the terminology of both fields from the inside.
I follow your glossary, TM and style guide, never break tags or placeholders, check every number, name and link against the source, and run a final QA before delivery.
