Japan’s Nikkei share average declined on Thursday as semiconductor stocks surrendered some of the previous session’s gains, with investors weighing the outlook for artificial intelligence-related spending in 2027.
The tech-heavy Nikkei 225 fell 0.8% to 64,128.54 by 0137 GMT, after rising 0.9% on Wednesday. The broader Topix index was largely unchanged, following a 0.9% advance in the previous session.
