The Nikkei Average fell for the first time in four days, dropping below 40,000 yen due to a reaction against last weekend's buying.

Last weekend, the Dow Inc average in the USA closed down by 333.59 dollars at 42,992.21 dollars, while the Nasdaq fell by 298.33 points to 19,722.03 points in Trade. With the year-end and New Year holidays approaching, participation was limited, and China's Indicators were lackluster. Additionally, political instability in Germany and South Korea seemed to affect the sentiment of some investors, leading to a decline. In preparation for the new fiscal year's rebalancing, high-tech stocks were particularly sold off, further pushing down the overall market, which remained weak throughout the day. Towards the end, the decline was reduced.
