Tokyo stocks concluded the trading session on February 10, 2025, with the Nikkei Stock Average ending nearly flat amid growing concerns over potential tariffs proposed by former President Donald Trump. The market remained cautious as tariff threats weighed on investor sentiment, particularly affecting sectors such as automotive and pharmaceuticals. Following Wall Street's losses, the Nikkei experienced a slight decline as investors grappled with the implications of U.S. tariff policies. On February 12, the Tokyo stock market opened mixed, influenced by gains in the Dow Jones but tempered by weak performance in the technology sector. Despite some upward movement in the Nikkei, tariff risks continued to limit overall gains in the market.
