Tokyo stocks open lower, tracking losses in U.S. and European markets amid Middle East uncertainty
The Tokyo stock market opened lower on the 22nd, with the Nikkei 225 down 245 yen from the previous session to 59,104 yen.
Blue-chip stocks led the broader market lower. US and European markets fell the previous day amid Middle East uncertainty, triggering profit-taking in Tokyo. After the US close, President Trump announced an extension of the ceasefire deadline with Iran, easing immediate fears, though a permanent resolution remains elusive. The Nikkei is expected to remain volatile, driven by futures trading. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) in the US recorded its 15th consecutive gain to hit new record highs, turning focus to whether semiconductor stocks can provide support to the Tokyo market.
