Semiconductor equipment-related stocks are facing strong selling pressure, with ADVANTEST CORPORATION <6857>, Tokyo Electron Limited <8035>, DISCO CORPORATION <6146>, and other semiconductor equipment manufacturers all starting trading with heavy sell orders. In the U.S. stock market at the end of last week, risk aversion accelerated against the backdrop of further escalating tensions in the Middle East, with selling particularly intensifying in the technology sector. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX), which comprises semiconductor stocks, continued its decline and approached its long-term support line at the 26-week moving average, raising concerns about a potential shift to a downward trend. The Tokyo market is also experiencing strong headwinds for the semiconductor sector, triggered by selling from overseas investors with reduced risk tolerance.
