The Nikkei 225 index closed down 1.2% to 49,544.21 on Tuesday, dragged down by a defensive market mood ahead of tonight's US economic data release. Market participants tended to reduce risk, making selling easier to emerge despite the lack of major "bad news" from Japan.
The wait-and-see sentiment grew stronger as the (slightly delayed) US jobs data was seen as potentially altering the direction of Fed interest rate expectations, while this week also featured a busy central bank calendar—including the Bank of Japan, which is widely expected to raise interest rates. This combination made investors cautious, and previously busy technology/AI stocks became among the most sensitive to pressure. (az)
