After initially trying to test the highs, it turned slightly positive. However, caution against high prices led to a lack of continued buying, and the market turned down amid rising long-term interest rates following the Federal Reserve Chair Powell's remarks signaling no rush for rate cuts. With the employment statistics report set for the next day, caution grew, and the market drifted down throughout the day under profit-taking selling pressure.

The Nikkei average was consolidating around the previous day's closing level, but gradually widened the decline, falling to around 39,000 yen.

However, due to a cautious stance, there was no increase in selling pressure, and the market recovered to the 39,000 yen level by the end of trading.
