In the afternoon session, there is adjustment of holdings in anticipation of President Ueda's press conference and the outcome of the FOMC.

The Nikkei average fell for the first time in four trading days. It closed at 37,751.88 yen, down 93.54 yen (with an estimated Volume of 1.8 billion 40 million shares). Selling was driven by the weakness in U.S. stocks from the previous day, but buying continued in value stocks such as trading companies due to the influence of famous U.S. investor Warren Buffett, and after the initial selling, there was a quick bounce back. Additionally, when the Bank of Japan's monetary policy meeting decided to maintain the current policy, short-term players also engaged in Futures buying, and just before the morning close, it reached as high as 38,128.58 yen.
