[Japanese Stock Market Closing Review] Trump refuses to rule out a recession! After a significant drop, the Nikkei 225 rebounds, and the turmoil over tariffs is difficult to eliminate.
On Monday (March 10), the Japan stock market rose in volatile trading, with Semiconductors leading the gains, but uncertainty surrounding USA tariff policies restricted the Index's rise.
Although high-tech stocks are steady, there is a stagnation around 37,000 yen.
The Nikkei average rebounded, ending the trade at 37,028.27 yen, up 141.10 yen (Volume approximately 1.7 billion shares). It started with buying due to the rise in US stocks at the end of the previous week, but comments from President Trump led to uncertainty, and there were moments when the Nikkei average turned down to 36,705.02 yen. However, due to the continuous drop in stock prices, there were movements to pick up dips, and the yen, which was close to falling below 147 yen per dollar for a time, stabilized in the late 147 yen range, resulting in a buying movement.

As concerns about the impact of USA President Trump's tariff policy eased, Japan's stock market closed higher on Thursday (March 6), following the strength of Wall Street overnight, but the decline in chip-related stocks limited the overall gains.
