[Nikkei 225 Falls Below 60,000 Points, AI Trading Liquidation Exacerbates Decline] (1) The Nikkei 225 index fell below the much-watched 60,000-point mark, with the decline widening to 6.5%; as investors liquidated their AI-related trades, the index still faces the risk of further decline. (2) Since the end of June, the Nikkei index has fallen sharply and is currently facing the risk of falling 20% from its high and entering a "technical bear market". (3) The performance gap between the Nikkei index, which is dominated by technology stocks, and the broader TOPIX index has widened to its largest in decades. (4) The decline in US chip stocks has further intensified after the US midterm elections; investors sold off technology stocks as the market speculated that the Democratic Party might take restrictive measures against the AI industry.
