Japan´s stockmarket is closed today.
The dow is ready for 20k but there are more stockmarket indices out there to cross 20k within the next trading days also.
Most investors are focused on Dow 20k. But it´s not the dow only. Keep an eye still on Italy and Japan as well. Do not be suprise, if three indices crossing 20k more ore less simultaneously. And keep in mind that all those three indices had been widely announced more than one time for a "Crash" in 2016.

Japan business mood up on growth prospects, wary on outlook: Reuters Tankan
Economic Indicators5 minutes ago (Jan 19, 2017 06:10PM ET)
By Tetsushi Kajimoto and Izumi Nakagawa
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese manufacturers' morale rose for a fifth straight month in January to a 2-1/2 year high and the service sector's mood jumped to its highest levels since mid-2015, a Reuters poll showed, thanks to a weak yen and buoyant share prices.
The latest Reuters Tankan underscores growth prospects for the world's third largest economy, but uncertainty lies ahead after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated on Friday, with his protectionist agenda casting doubts over the smooth conduct of global trade.
The Reuters' monthly poll - which tracks the Bank of Japan's key quarterly tankan - found confidence at manufacturers and service-sector firms slipping over the next three months.
In the poll of 531 large- and mid-sized firms, conducted between Jan. 4 and 17 and in which 266 responded, the sentiment index for manufacturers rose to 18 from 16 in December, driven by industries such as electronics and machinery.

The Mexican Peso is probably still the best indicator for Donald Trumps Politics about international trade. USDMXN showing that fears are going a bit out of the markets right now. Changes in international trade agreements might not be so strict like US President Donald Trump permanently is announcing.

Quote: Japan December exports rise 5.4 percent year/year: MOF
Economic Indicators1 minute ago (Jan 24, 2017 07:10PM ET)
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's exports rose 5.4 percent in December from a year earlier, posting the first gain in 15 months, government data showed on Wednesday, reflecting a pick-up in global demand and effects of a weaker yen.
The rise in the value of exports compared with a 1.2 percent increase expected by economists in a Reuters poll. It followed a 0.4 percent year-on-year decline in November, the Ministry of Finance data showed. Imports fell 2.6 percent in December, versus the median estimate for a 0.8 percent decrease. That brought the trade balance to 641.4 billion yen ($5.63 billion) in the black, versus the median estimate for a 270 billion yen surplus. It was the fourth straight month of surplus.

Feb 09 2017 Quote: Why Trump might play nice with Japan’s Abe
Published: Feb 9, 2017 5:04 p.m. ET
The White House is describing President Donald Trump’s plan to host Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at his golf resort in Florida as a “gift,” a day ahead of the meeting in Washington between the two leaders. “That is a gift that the president is extending to the prime minister,” White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters Thursday about the planned weekend visit to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Abe and Trump are due to have talks at the White House Friday and the two are scheduled to travel together to the Palm Beach resort afterward. Questions have arisen about the ethics of the trip. Experts cited by The Wall Street Journal said the most appropriate option would be for Trump to host Abe at Mar-a-Lago as his guest, if Japanese government ethics rules permit.

Donald Trump might believe, that international trade is a one way street. It is not. Trump is now fighting against Mexiko, Canada, Germany, Japan, China and the European Union as well.
Donald Trump until now is US-President elect "only" but with the European Union, Canada, Mexiko, Japan and China he made countires good for allmost 50% (!) of global GDP to his own and privat "enemies". Donald Trump never will be able to win any trade war or "war of populism" against the rest of the world.

Chinese president to defend globalization in Davos
Economy4 hours ago (Jan 17, 2017 05:14AM ET)

DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping will defend globalization in the face of mounting public hostility in the West on Tuesday in a speech at the World Economic Forum that will underline Beijing's growing global role. Xi's appearance, a first for a Chinese leader at the annual meeting of political leaders, CEOs and bankers in Davos, comes as the part the United States plays as a force for multilateral cooperation on issues like trade and climate change is in doubt following the election of Donald Trump.
Europe, meanwhile, is pre-occupied with its own troubles, from Brexit and militant attacks to the string of elections this year in which anti-globalization populists could score gains.
This has left a vacuum that China seems eager to fill.
"It is no coincidence that Xi chose this year to make the trip up the magic mountain," said Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group, a U.S.-based political risk consultancy.
More than half a dozen senior Chinese government figures will be in Davos this week, far more than in past years. And a large number of sessions are focused on Asia, including one entitled "Asia Takes the Lead".
