TOKYO: Japan’s Nikkei share gauge slumped on Friday, tracking a tech-led selloff on Wall Street overnight as chip and AI-linked shares came under pressure.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 fell 1.71% to 61,832.66 in early trading.
The broader Topix slipped 1.26% to 3,947.11.
The Nasdaq slid 2.6% and the S&P 500 fell 1.21% on Thursday, with technology leading sector declines as investors rotated into defensive areas such as consumer staples and healthcare.
Nvidia sank about 4% in the AI and semiconductor selloff, while Meta dropped 7% after earnings as investors focused on its AI spending, and Tesla fell 3.1% after earnings and a cut to its 2026 capital spending plans.
“Following the selling-dominated tone in the US market, the Japanese market is expected to start today with sellers in control,” Monex Securities analyst Yoshitaka Araya said in a report.
There were 96 advancers on the Nikkei 225 against 120 decliners.
The largest losers were Sumco, down 8.95%, followed by Disco, 7.59% lower, and Mitsui Kinzoku, which lost 6.65%.
The largest percentage gainers in the index were Aeon, up 3.98%, followed by Sapporo Holdings, 3.74% higher, and Kikkoman, which gained 3.69%, on track for its highest close since July 2024.
