The Nikkei Stock Average ended the morning session on Monday, April 13, at 56,357.40 yen, down 566.71 yen from the previous close. Trading volume on the Prime Market reached approximately 993.32 million shares, with a turnover of approximately 3,673.4 billion yen. Market breadth was negative, with 1,166 issues declining, 371 advancing, and 38 remaining unchanged.

The Nikkei retreated as geopolitical tensions weighed on sentiment following the failure of U.S.-Iran negotiations in Pakistan over the weekend. The Tokyo market opened lower in response, with the benchmark index briefly tumbling more than 630 yen before selling pressure eased. While geopolitical risks dominated early trade, the market found support from hopes for continued diplomatic efforts and the resilience of U.S. technology stocks, following the Nasdaq’s eight-session winning streak as of April 10.

Among heavyweights and tech shares, Kioxia Holdings <285A>, Lasertec Corporation <6920>, and Tokyo Electron Limited <8035> traded lower. Other notable decliners included Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. <5801>, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. <5802>, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. <7011>, Mitsui Kinzoku Company, Limited <5706>, and IBIDEN CO., LTD. <4062>. Conversely, Fujikura Ltd. <5803> and INPEX CORPORATION <1605> bucked the trend to trade higher, while YASKAWA Electric Corporation <6506>, KEYENCE CORPORATION <6861>, and Hitachi, Ltd. <6501> remained firm.
