TOKYO, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average declined in early trade on Monday as tariff risks and losses across all three U.S. stock indexes last week dragged on investor sentiment.
The Nikkei .N225 was down 0.3% at 38,684.12 as of 0005 GMT, while the broader Topix .TOPX stumbled 0.2%.
Amid news that U.S. President Donald Trump will announce new 25% tariffs on all U.S. steel and aluminium imports on Monday, Japanese steel makers .ISTEl.T fell around 1%.
Nippon Steel 5401.T was down 2%.
