Japanese Stocks Fall As Technology Shares Lead Broad Market Decline

02-Jul-26   15:42 Hrs IST
Japan's stock market ended sharply lower on Thursday, with the Nikkei 225 Index falling 2.47% to close at 68,732, snapping a three-day winning streak. The decline followed a technology-led selloff on Wall Street as investors questioned whether the recent artificial intelligence (AI)-driven rally had become overvalued.

Chip and AI-related stocks recorded the biggest losses, with Kioxia Holdings falling 13.5%, Taiyo Yuden 10%, Tokyo Electron 7.4%, Advantest 10%, and Fujikura 7.9%.

However, losses were partly offset by gains in financial and consumer stocks. Mitsubishi UFJ rose 1.8%, Mizuho Financial gained 2%, and Toyota Motor advanced 2.5%.
