The decline in Japanese tech stocks led to a temporary drop below the 38,000 yen level.

The Nikkei average continued to decline, closing at 38,142.37 yen, down 95.42 yen (with an estimated Volume of 1.8 billion 50 million shares). In the previous day's USA market, tech stocks were sold off, leading to a focus on selling semiconductor-related stocks in the Tokyo market. The Nikkei average dropped to 37,742.76 yen during the mid-morning session, also dipping below the key level of 38,000 yen at times. However, many are eager to wait for the earnings report from USA semiconductor giant NVIDIA, which is scheduled for early tomorrow morning Japan time.
