On the 28th, Japan's leading stock index, the Nikkei 225 average (hereafter referred to as the Nikkei Index), fell. This was due to the news that China's artificial intelligence (AI) startup, DeepSeek, had developed a competitive AI model at a low cost, causing a notable decline in semiconductor-related sectors.
On this day, the Nikkei Index closed at 39,016, down 1.39% from the previous session. The Nikkei Index has fallen for three consecutive trading days.
It is interpreted that the concern that the dominance of American AI might be shaken with the emergence of DeepSeek led to a decline in AI-related stocks in the New York Stock Exchange the previous day.
In the Tokyo stock market on this day, semiconductor-related stocks also fell sharply. By stock, Advantest, a semiconductor materials, components, and equipment company, plunged 11%.
Additionally, SoftBank Group, a major participant in the AI infrastructure construction project announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, fell by 5.2%.
