Ahead of the Bank of Japan meeting, there continues to be selling pressure from position adjustments.
The Nikkei Average fell for 8 consecutive business days. Trading ended at 37,667.41 yen (-202.10 yen) (with a volume of approximately 1.708 billion shares) . Reflecting the trend of high-tech stocks being sold in the previous day's US market, the Nikkei Average started to decline.
