日经225指数下跌0.97%,收于42394点,而周二更广泛的东证指数下跌1.08%,收于3072点,结束了两天的上涨,反映了华尔街隔夜的疲软,因为投资者在上周的反弹后锁定了利润。据报道,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普威胁称,如果中国未能向美国出口稀土磁铁,他将对中国征收“200%的关税或其他什么”,这也削弱了市场情绪。特朗普宣布因涉嫌抵押贷款欺诈而罢免美联储理事丽莎·库克,这加剧了不确定性,引发了人们对美联储独立性的新担忧。在企业方面,日产汽车股价下跌6.3%,此前梅赛德斯-奔驰宣布计划出售其在这家日本汽车制造商3.8%的股份。其他明显的输家包括三丽鸥(-2.9%)、东京电力(-5.5%)和Recruit Holdings(-3.5%)。
The Nikkei 225 Index dropped 0.97% to close at 42,394, while the broader Topix Index fell 1.08% to 3,072 on Tuesday, snapping a two-day advance and mirroring overnight weakness on Wall Street as investors locked in profits after last week’s rally. Market sentiment was also dented by renewed trade tensions after US President Donald Trump reportedly threatened to impose “200% tariffs or something” on China if it failed to export rare-earth magnets to the US. Adding to uncertainty, Trump announced the removal of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over alleged mortgage fraud, raising fresh concerns about the Fed’s independence. On the corporate front, Nissan Motor slumped 6.3% after Mercedes-Benz revealed plans to offload its 3.8% stake in the Japanese automaker. Other notable losers included Sanrio (-2.9%), Tokyo Electric Power (-5.5%), and Recruit Holdings (-3.5%).
