On the 7th, the Nikkei 225 stood at ¥65,039.16 at the morning close, down ¥644.10, as the market lost momentum after disappointing earnings from SoftBank Group. Caution also spread over moves in AI-related stocks.
The Nikkei 225 edged higher after opening in the morning, but was subsequently pushed lower by selling pressure and turned negative.
As of the morning of the 7th, the decline was attributed primarily to a drop in SoftBank Group (SBG), while rebounds in AI-related and semiconductor stocks were not yet considered to have fully taken hold.
