Despite the rebound from a significant drop, the cautious mood remains strong, barely pushing into the positive.

The Nikkei average rebounded slightly, ending the trade at 35,624.48 yen, up 6.92 yen (with an estimated Volume of 1.7 billion 50 million shares). Following the significant decline the previous day, there was early Buy interest aiming for a self-rebound, pushing the Nikkei average to rise to 36,052.54 yen shortly after the start. However, due to concerns about the contents of the mutual tariffs scheduled for the 2nd under the Trump administration, the pursuit of higher prices was cautious, and a wait-and-see mood gradually spread. Additionally, in the latter half of the session, movements were noted that were considered profit-taking by domestic Institutions at the beginning of the period.
