The Nikkei Stock Average is reportedly expected to extend its decline on the 19th, following the previous day's fall in US equities, led by semiconductor stocks. Selling in major AI and semiconductor-related stocks is likely to intensify in Tokyo trading, putting downward pressure on the Nikkei.
Against the Nikkei's previous close of ¥67,460, ¥65,500 has been identified as a downside target. Sector-specific movements in the Japanese market are expected to draw scrutiny in response to developments in the US market.
