Nikkei Down 1.6%, Boosted by Chips, Tech Shares

Japanese stocks fell as uncertainty over U.S. tariffs persisted. The prospect of continued Bank of Japan interest rate hikes also weighed on the market following stronger-than-expected inflation data for Tokyo in May. Chip and tech shares led the decline.

Renesas Electronics fell 4.7% and SoftBank Group dropped 4.1%. USD/JPY was at 143.83, down sharply from 145.68 at the close of the Tokyo stock market on Thursday. Investors were focused on any developments related to tariffs and BOJ policymaking. The Nikkei Stock Average was down 1.6% at 37,809.74.
