The Nikkei Stock Average plunged in Tokyo trading on the 15th, ending down ¥3,318, or 4.9%, from the previous day. The article identifies developments related to AI as a source of concern for the market, citing the escalation of credit concerns over a U.S. emerging cloud company as the backdrop.
The Nikkei Average fell for the sixth straight day, with the closing level dropping to around ¥64,425. The decline was reportedly the third-largest on record, marking a period in which caution spread among investors.
