Japanese Shares Fall on Tech Rout

The Nikkei 225 dropped 0.66% to close at 40,800 on Friday, bringing its weekly loss to 1.58%, as tech stocks came under heavy pressure. Tokyo Electron sank 18% after slashing its full-year profit outlook due to weak demand from logic chipmakers.

Losses spread across the sector, with Lasertec (-5.8%), Hitachi (-8.8%), Socionext (-4.1%), Disco (-3.6%), and Advantest (-1.3%) all declining. Sentiment was further dented by renewed trade tensions after US President Donald Trump reaffirmed a 10% global tariff and imposed reciprocal duties of up to 41% on countries without trade deals, heightening fears of supply chain disruptions.

Japanese shares also tracked weakness in US futures, weighed down by Amazon’s sharp after-hours drop following disappointing guidance.
