日本日经指数周二下跌124点，跌幅0.3%，收于39037点，前一交易日飙升1.2%。周一，美国政府一个小组未能就日本新日铁公司收购美国钢铁公司的近150亿美元拟议协议可能带来的国家安全风险达成共识，将决定权留给反对该协议的拜登总统，市场情绪低落。通信、商业服务和消费者服务大幅下降，富士通（-2.5%）、TDK公司（-2.2%）和Recruit Hlds均大幅亏损。（-1.7%）和迅销公司（-0.6%）。尽管如此，该指数还是减少了早盘的跌幅，因为本田公司在宣布回购1.1万亿日元的股票后飙升了12.2%。与此同时，日产公司股价上涨6%，此前该公司确认正在与本田就可能的业务整合进行谈判。更广泛的东证指数表现平平，收于2727点。与全球许多地区不同，日本的市场每周都开放。2024年的最后一个交易日是12月30日。
Japan's Nikkei share average fell 124 points or 0.3% to close at 39,037 on Tuesday, swinging from a 1.2% surge in the prior session. Sentiment was downbeat after a US government panel on Monday failed to reach a consensus on the possible national security risks of a near USD 15 billion proposed deal for Nippon Steel of Japan to buy US Steel, leaving the decision to President Biden, who opposes the deal. Communications, commercial services, and consumer services largely dropped, with steep losses among Fujitsu (-2.5%), TDK Corp. (-2.2%), Recruit Hlds. (-1.7%), and Fast Retailing Co. (-0.6%). Still, the index pared early losses, as Honda Co. surged 12.2% after announcing a share buyback of JPY 1.1 trillion. Meantime, Nissan Co. jumped by 6% after confirming it was in talks with Honda over a possible business integration. The broader Topix Index was muted, closing at 2,727. Unlike in many parts of the globe, markets in Japan are open all week. The final trading day of 2024 is December 30.
