Japanese and Chinese Stocks Decline as Technology Shares Lead Market Selloff
Japanese and Chinese stock markets declined sharply, led by technology sector losses amid concerns over an overvalued artificial intelligence (AI) rally. Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 2.47%, with chip and AI-related stocks dropping significantly, while financial and consumer shares saw modest gains. Foreign investors in Japan recorded their largest weekly selloff since March, offset partially by domestic retail buying. In China, technology shares also led declines, influenced by potential US policy scrutiny over Apple’s chip sourcing plans from Chinese manufacturers.
