On the morning of the 2nd, the Nikkei 225 fell ¥195, with some AI and semiconductor-related stocks sold. However, selling triggered by Kioxia's plunge did not spread across the market.
The Nikkei 225 traded at 63,095.11 yen, down ¥195, or 0.31%, from the previous weekend during morning trading. Earnings-related factors and declines in U.S. technology stocks weighed on the market, weakening some AI and semiconductor-related stocks.
Kioxia Holdings was heavily sold, but selling did not develop into a broader market-wide trend.
Tokyo Electron came under buying pressure at times on earnings-related factors, and trading showed increasing differentiation among individual stocks.
Despite the Nikkei 225's decline that day, selling did not expand significantly across the market.
