The Nikkei average rebounded significantly, temporarily recovering to 39,000 yen, but caution regarding Trump 2.0 weighed heavily.
On the 17th, the US stock market rebounded. The Dow Inc rose by 334.70 points to 43,487.83, while the Nasdaq closed 291.91 points higher at 19,630.20. In addition to the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) upward revision of global and domestic economic growth forecasts for 2025, optimistic views on the economy were spreading due to the better-than-expected number of housing starts and industrial production in December, leading to a rise after the opening. With the presidential inauguration set for the 20th, there are expectations for regulatory easing by the next administration and support measures for businesses and the economy.
