Nikkei Average down 1,713 yen as Meta earnings stoke concerns over excessive AI investment, triggering selling in tech shares

The story

The Nikkei 225 closed at ¥62,907, down ¥1,713 from the previous day. Market commentary attributed the decline to growing concerns over excessive investment in AI-related businesses and increased selling pressure on technology stocks.

The yield on French 10-year government bonds briefly rose into the 5% range, reaching its highest level in 24 years. Some observers said fiscal concerns remained a burden on the market.

Disco’s operating profit for the April–September period rose approximately 47.9% year on year to ¥116.6 billion, but fell short of market expectations. This was cited as a factor behind the share price decline.

Overseas investors were net sellers of cash equities by ¥365.4 billion in the second week of October, marking their first net selling in three weeks.
