    Could be related to the stronger yen we've seen recently, or maybe some profit-taking after the recent run-up. Hard to say definitively without more info.

    Looks like the yen strengthened significantly overnight, which tends to put pressure on export-heavy Japanese equities. Could also be some profit-taking after the recent run.
