The Nikkei 225 fell for the first time in 3 trading sessions on 7 October, closing ¥648.27 lower than the previous day at ¥70,035.71.
Selling spread amid concerns that the market had become overheated in the short term following its rapid gains, with AI and semiconductor-related stocks among the decliners.
The index rose briefly against the backdrop of gains in US equities, but the advance did not last and the market ultimately closed on a weak note.
Across the market, the pullback following the rally and movements in related stocks remained key points of focus for the period ahead.
