Nikkei 225 futures fell on the 12th as selling was driven by weaker US stocks, with the closing price on CME at ¥61,220, down ¥795 from the previous day.
Nikkei 225 futures traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) fell and ended lower on the 12th, with the December contract settling at ¥61,220, down ¥795 from the previous day.
The decline in NVIDIA shares following reports of the CEO's resignation was cited as a factor behind the weakness in major US stock indexes, intensifying selling pressure in global markets. This move was believed to have affected Nikkei 225 futures following reports from the previous day's Tokyo trading.
Selling was dominant in Chicago Nikkei futures, partly because the Nikkei 225 had already fallen in Tokyo following reports ahead of the market open.
The Nikkei 225 stood at ¥60,819.36, down ¥429.23 from the previous day, while Nikkei 225 futures on Osaka Exchange, the December 26 contract, stood at ¥61,210, up ¥510.
