The Nikkei average rises for three consecutive days as expectations strengthen for Trump's economic policies.

On the 21st, the US Stocks market continued to rise. The Dow Inc average gained $537.98 to close at $44,025.81, while the Nasdaq increased by 126.58 points to finish at 19,756.78. After the opening, expectations grew that the tariff measures from the Trump administration would not be strengthened as feared, which contributed to the rise. Reports of large-scale AI infrastructure investments from three private companies, including SoftBank Group <9984>, also served as positive material, leading to further gains. The decline in interest rates and the rise of Semiconductors NVIDIA, as well as the search engine Google operated by Alfu, contributed to this upward trend.
