Japanese stocks plunge shortly after the open on the 15th, with selling centered on semiconductors

The story

Earlier, Japanese stocks fell sharply shortly after the 15th’s open. The Nikkei 225 was sold down to below ¥66,000.

Selling pressure was reported to have intensified, particularly in semiconductor-related issues, in addition to the broader market weakness. Concerns over AI investment and expectations for an early US rate hike were cited as background factors.

The move was reported by major news organizations, and attention is focused on further developments and follow-up reports.
