STORYLINE:
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 slipped 1.3% to 39,394.27 after reopening from a holiday.
Local media reported on Monday that Tadashi Imai, the president of Japan’s Nippon Steel, said the company considered filing a lawsuit against the U.S. government as “one of the important options”.
This is after President Joe Biden blocked the company’s nearly $15 billion acquisition of Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel last week.
Shares of Nippon Steel dropped 0.5% on Monday.
Looking ahead for the year, the Japan Exchange Group’s CEO, Hiromi Yamaji, said he is keeping a "close eye" on the incoming administration of Donald Trump.
