Japanese Shares Pull Back From Record Highs

The Nikkei 225 Index fell 1.5% toward 67,000, while the broader Topix Index declined 0.8% to 3,964 on Thursday, as Japanese equities retreated from record levels amid renewed tensions between the US and Iran. The latest escalation undermined hopes for a peace agreement and drove energy prices higher, keeping inflation and interest-rate concerns in focus. Domestic stocks also followed US futures lower after a weak outlook from US chipmaker Broadcom weighed on the global technology sector. Meanwhile, billionaire investor Ray Dalio cautioned that the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence market is exhibiting bubble-like characteristics that could eventually unwind. Technology and AI-related shares led losses in Japan, including SoftBank Group (-7.8%), Kioxia Holdings (-1%), Fujikura (-6.1%), Murata Manufacturing (-2.9%), and Furukawa Electric (-4.4%).
