The sellers were cautious about the possibility of confusion in the world's economic activities due to a system failure, causing a decline in the market after the opening. There was also selling pressure from investors closing out ahead of the earnings reports from the high-tech companies next week, which further weighed on the market. As the system was restored, the market halted its decline, but remained weak throughout the day, ending the trade. Following the decline in US stocks, the Tokyo market started trading in the red.
