Stocks: The morning Nikkei average fell, wary of President Trump's tariff policy, but the decline slowed down.

At 11:30 AM, the morning Nikkei average fell, wary of President Trump's tariff policy, with some resistance to the decline.
In the morning session of the Tokyo stock market, the Nikkei average fell to 38,260.38, down 519.76 yen from the previous trading day. As the market digested President-elect Trump's views on tariffs, profit-taking increased in large-cap stocks following the previous day's gains. On the other hand, Chinese stocks, which started low, turned positive, and the Nikkei gradually slowed its decline.
