Global Market: Japan stocks fall over 1% as chip shares tumble, SoftBank declines despite earnings beat
Japan's Nikkei fell over 1% on Friday, dragged down by a selloff in AI and semiconductor stocks, even as the broader Topix stayed roughly flat. SoftBank Group was a key laggard, dropping 4.3% despite posting a smaller-than-expected 18% profit decline for the quarter, investors weren't convinced the results were strong enough to sustain a rally.
On the morning of the 7th, the Tokyo stock market saw the Nikkei 225 average continue its decline. The drop temporarily exceeded 1,000 yen, falling below 65,000 yen. Profit-taking selling orders spread after companies related to artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductors, which had attracted significant market attention, finished announcing their earnings.
