The Nikkei 225 Index fell 0.1% to below 39,430 while the broader Topix Index rose 0.5% to 2,837 on Tuesday, with Japanese shares showing mixed performances as caution dominated sentiment amid ongoing global trade uncertainty and geopolitical risks.
US President Donald Trump signaled openness to renewed trade talks with the European Union and other key partners, but also threatened to impose secondary tariffs of 100% on Russia if a peace deal with Ukraine is not reached within 50 days—adding to market volatility.
On the domestic front, market participants awaited upcoming trade and inflation data that could offer fresh insight into the impact of US tariffs on Japan's export-driven economy. Sector-wise, industrials and consumer-related stocks advanced, while technology shares underperformed.
