The Nikkei Stock Average closed slightly higher. Trading value before the lunch break fell below 1 trillion yen.
In the morning, buoyed by solid U.S. economic data, the Dow Jones Industrial Average continued to rise to a new high, and the Nasdaq Composite also rebounded, providing upward pressure for buying.
However, there appears to be strong selling pressure waiting for a pullback, with the opening level at 29,789 yen (the previous day's close plus 146 yen), as the gains narrowed.
Similar to the afternoon yesterday, the market moved in a tight range around the previous close.
The Mothers Index rose despite many decliners.
