In the future, attention will turn to the Bank of Japan's monetary policy decision-making meetings.

The Nikkei average continued to rise, closing up 125.48 yen at 39,027.98 yen (Volume estimated at 1.5 billion 30 million shares), recovering the 39,000 yen level for the first time since the 10th. Developments were influenced by reports regarding tariffs from U.S. President Trump. Anticipating that Trump would postpone tariff policies during his inauguration, buying activity led to a rise, reaching 39,238.21 yen shortly after the opening. However, after reports emerged about considering tariffs on Mexico and Canada, it turned negative in the middle of the first half.

The Nikkei average continues to rise, with fluctuations driven by excitement and concern over Trump's tariffs.

On the 20th, the USA market was closed due to the holiday commemorating Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. In the highly anticipated inauguration of President Trump, statements regarding tariffs were withheld, leading to a Buy-dominant start for the Tokyo market. There were moments when the Nikkei average rose to 39,238.21 yen, but around 10 o'clock, the report of "imposing a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada starting February 1" changed the optimistic mood drastically. The Nikkei average experienced fluctuations and declined. After the Sell and Buy transactions settled down, the market was around 39,000 yen.
