Japan’s emperor Akihito prepares to abdicate, what’s known as the Heisei period -- Jan. 8, 1989, through April 30, 2019.

On May 1, Japan will get a new emperor, and a new era -- the Reiwa period -- will begin.

However, all this might go out the door ahead of what’s known as Golden Week, Goruden Wiku in Japan, the traditional weeklong holiday beginning April 29, as traders clamor for liquidity.
