Nikkei Dragged Down by Wall Street, Japanese AI Stocks Hit
Tuesday, 16 December 2025 07:28 WIB | NIKKEI |Nikkei 225

Japan's Nikkei stock index opened 1.1% lower at 49,624.20 in early trading, following Wall Street's sharp decline overnight. Market participants remained cautious due to the busy data schedule and economic agenda throughout the week. According to IG Chief Market Analyst Chris Beauchamp, investor risk appetite remains low, leading to market volatility.

Pressure also came from artificial intelligence-related stocks, as the Nasdaq Composite Index in the United States weakened. Japanese technology stocks were also affected, with Yaskawa Electric plunging 5.5%, Fujikura down 5.1%, and Japan Exchange Group down 4.7%. Meanwhile, the US dollar exchange rate against the yen was at 154.74, slightly lower than 155.21 in New York trading Monday night. (az)
