The Nikkei average fell for the first time in four trading days. It closed at 39,149.43 yen, down 312.04 yen (with an estimated Volume of 2 billion 30 million shares).

Additionally, since the US market will be closed on the 17th, it seems there were movements for adjusting positions as well. The Nikkei average is expected to be followed.
